What you’re about to see may be the single craziest training video that I’ve ever seen.

National Post- The Liberal war on fish farming threatens Indigenous livelihoods
According to Kitasoo Xai’Xais Deputy Chief Councillor Isaiah Robinson, his community has enjoyed 99 per cent employment because of the salmon farming industry, which generates 51 percent of their income.
“Because of the work and dignity that comes with the salmon farming industry, we have had no suicides in my community of Klemtu for the past 18 years,” wrote Robinson in an open letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau last month. “It makes no sense to shut it down. There is no industry that can fill that space.”

Globe and Mail- Landmark EU nature restoration plan gets green light despite months of protests by farmers
Under the new law, EU countries will be required to restore at least 30% of habitats such as forests, rivers, grasslands, wetlands, lakes and coral beds deemed in poor condition by 2030. This percentage is set to increase to 60% by 2040 and 90% by 2050. The law also introduces specific requirements for measures to reverse the decline of pollinators.

World Economic Forum- Feeding the future: why Renovation and Reinvention are key to saving our food system
Our global food system is in urgent need of transition. At present, one-third of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions come from food production. At the same time, the global population is projected to reach nearly 10 billion people by 2050, which could increase the demand for food by 60%. Many of the ways we grow, manufacture and consume food are causing a dual crisis of human and environmental health, and the complexity will only intensify.

New York Post- Vegan fake meats linked to heart disease, early death: study
“While ultra-processed foods are often marketed as healthy foods, this large study suggests that plant-based ultra-processed foods do not seem to have protective health effects and are linked to poor health outcomes,” she said.
The Lancet Regional Health- Implications of food ultra-processing on cardiovascular risk considering plant origin foods: an analysis of the UK Biobank cohort
Conversely, plant-sourced UPF consumption was associated with a 5% increased risk (1.03–1.07) and a 12% higher mortality (1.05–1.20). The contribution of all UPF was linked to higher CVD risk and mortality, and no evidence for an association between contribution of all plant-sourced foods and CVD incidence and mortality was observed.

We Need A Famine
And by golly, a famine is what we’re going to get.
WHO Director-General calls for a “transformation” of the food system, away from meat-eating and traditional agriculture, in the name of fighting “climate change”:
“Our food systems are harming the health of people and planet. Food systems contribute to over 30% of greenhouse gas emissions, and account for almost one third of the global burden of disease.”
“Transforming food systems is therefore essential, by shifting towards healthier, diversified and more plant based diets.”
“The warning from the OPP had come over the farmer’s phones the night before.”
Anyone with a farm tractor, transport or other vehicle going slow on the highway on April 1, to protest the carbon tax hike that day, would be charged under the Highway Traffic Act for endangering people.
There was a shrug from the dairy and cash crop farmers, transport drivers and other drivers, including a Scot with a French accent wearing a tin foil hat, all congregated in Herb’s Truck Stop parking lot.
