You mean Mark Carnage didn’t invest any of his money in this?
How many Liberals made consulting fees?
I suspect most of the executives from Aspire have most of that 8.5 million in Swiss bank accounts
Well, cricket wranglers aren’t going to work for peanuts.
I have a tropical pet. I remember a few years ago for a brief while Crickets suddenly went out of stock everywhere.
I guess i know who bought them all. (Canadian tax payers)
Millionaire Marx Carney will issue orders to fix this with policies requiring food producers to be “climate friendly” by including a percentage of “sustainable protein” in their products.
Orders from the Prime Minister’s Office are probably already written and they’re just waiting for those ballot recounts to give them a majority so they don’t have to suck up to the NDP. The corrupt Liberals won’t even have to open that museum called parliament…
They should be a required dish at the HoC restaurant.
More “clean”, “green”, ESG jobs bite the cricket “dust” aka cricket dung.
Stupid question, sorry, having never eaten one:
When you eat crickets, are they better raw (dead) or cooked and if cooked with ketchup, mustard, relish or sauerkraut?
Please, don’t say alive.
John, you don’t eat crickets. Full stop.
So … you’re not familiar with Cambodian street food? Stir fry wok cricketry
The slants love em … so I hear. Sorry … I’m not racist at all … till some white douchebags tell me I must live and eat like a Cambodian street urchin. Till Al Gore tells me I MUST eat crickets … to save the planet or some such garbage.
Spouse enjoys “Salsa Macha” so bring a jar back after youngest offspring and I have are annual pre-tax season “retreat” in southern Mexico. Except one year the jar was “Salsa Macha con Chapulines”. That jar hasn’t been used. The last visit there, I noticed chapulines were available at the taco/omelette station as an added condiment; I chickened out.
Hard pass on the chapulines. I’ll stick to the carne asada
Bitter Mexic-ocoa crickets … there are some things that chocolate dipping cannot save
The sheep that voted for Marx are very much in favour of green scams ,it’s part of their dna .
I hope those idiots remember to chant “Elbows Up!” while they stand in line all day for their daily ration of bugs.
How could this fail?!
Oh, well, maybe because ….people don’t want to eat F@cking INSECTS!
GAWD!
Exactly! In order for a cricket farm to succeed, a lot of people need to be eating them. But people don’t want to eat them, so in order for the farm to succeed, the people must be prevented from accessing any other source of food. They’ll only eat them when there’s absolutely nothing else to eat.
How soon will the Carney government make that happen?
Funny how when both Germany and Japan came to Canada begging for Canadian LNG, they (and the Canadian public) were told, “There is no viable business plan for LNG.”
And there is one for bug meat?
Part of the definition of a Liberal, I guess.
Yeah. How much $$ went down the overhead, admin and consultancy-nepotism drain? Less than 90%? Feed them to the chickens.
There are more ways for government to waste money, Horatio, than either of us may imagine.
Bugs or batteries, its all pork to ensure Liberal rule.
In 1987, the provincial government partnered with Calgary businessman Philip Sprung to build a multimillion-dollar greenhouse complex near the St. John’s-Mount Pearl boundary. Sprung claimed that his unique greenhouse covering and high-tech hydroponics process could grow more plants faster than conventional methods. Premier A. Brian Peckford announced the facility would create jobs, tap into a profitable export market, and supply local consumers with fresh and affordable vegetables year-round.
Instead, the operation could not meet production quotas, find a suitable market, or turn a profit. It cost taxpayers $22 million and the Progressive Conservative Party its credibility. Peckford withdrew from politics in March 1989 and an April election returned a Liberal majority. The Sprung project went into receivership the same year. The greenhouses were sold to a Montreal company two years later and shipped off the island. This was one of the most infamous projects in the province’s economic history.
More. . . .
The amazing thing is that the Newfie greenhouse boondoggle was preceded by the well-publicized failure of the similar Sprung greenhouse operation in super sunny Calgary.
In fact, the basic structure in Calgary was disassembled and then moved to Newfoundland and set up there.
Sprung blamed the failure on the Calgary operation on sabotage, just as he did with the Newfie one.
$22 million. Heh. Newfoundland really learned a lot from that and would later apply it to Muskrat Falls.
$15 billion price tag for a population of 500,000 or about $60,000 per household. This is where your transfer payments go. No business case for a pipeline but a business case for $15 billion worth of electricity for 225,000 households. And the First Nations are saying “hold my beer”.
Maybe they can shove the crickets up Trudeau’s butt….they will have to remove the gerbil first.

Meanwhile …
In the rest of Canada business people put their own money at risk, work for nothing, don’t ask for anything and create businesses that succeed. And if they don’t, they move on, usually to build another business.
So where is Turdeau anyways?
Make that SOB Steven Guilbeault eat every last one of them.
The Libs gave them $9 million. But the bigger item is that Farm Credit (aka Gov of Canada) lent them another $41 million. Ouch.
Blubber Dougie must not have been given a chance to participate, his track record of investing taxpayers money in stupid would make him a perfect source of funding.
Walks with Liberals, talks like a Liberal, campaigns like a Liberal so why not invest like a Liberal?
It was TRUMP’S FAULT the cricket farm failed. He wants to force you to buy MAGA crickets.
BTW, there is a cricket market, those of us who fish or keep reptiles use it. Ghann’s pretty much has it covered. More supply is not needed, so a new business failed. Business as usual.
What a efing waste of taxpayers money. Nobody will be held accountable, expect more of this shitt with Carney phoney majority government. Don’t forget to file your taxes.
My dog told me he doesn’t want to eat bugs either..

Forget crickets. Go green, grow cucumbers.
