You'd be tempted to say its strange "how the other half (of society) lives" but it's much of the other 98%. White, middle aged guys stopping in at what we consider a farm supply town in the heart of farm country. Yet when we stop and look the vast majority of the population there does not reflect us, our values or our way of life. Then you think about wider society encompassing the large cities of the country and you realise how fringe we, and our views are, to mainstream society.

dont disagree but also doesnt mean our views are actually wrong.

if society had some views and values like most country folk have be a better place

I hear there are rumblings that cattle producers could be getting an extra carbon tax and it will be given to the pulse producers.

Wonder if the queen’s herd (elk,moose, and deer) are going to pay this tax too? They have no problem eating the same diet as my cows on my dime to boot. Most of them amount to destructive animals that just feed the coyotes eventually vs my herd that provides natural unprocessed protein for the masses.

Maybe I could feed a couple pounds of peas and offset the “damage” of my evil herd😉

Its quite sad isn’t it that the world can’t seem to tell where CO2 really comes from. They say over europe there is over 20000 planes in the sky at any given time.

It's a different world out there for sure. Had the misfortune to spend a few hours in a Brandon shopping mall last week. Lots of overweight people, young and old, waddling around just looking for something to spend their money on. Whole stores that contained nothing I would ever use or desire.
Weird - then I returned to my hermit life, it's like we are on different planets.

Fudge , you and me both

Catchy graphic but apparently aviation only accounts for 2% of human caused CO2 emissions.

Apparently Canada only accounts for about 1.66% of the world's CO2 emissions

Yeah, we're heavy hitters on the emission front given that we only account for 0.5% of the world population.

It doesn't matter
