City Ridings Insure Trudope Win :(

It does take insane digging to find some of these programs. Some are there, but you’d never know it most times.

A small example. There is a guard dog rebate for stock farmers. Buy a dog get a 100 buck rebate. Trouble is, what happens? Price of a dog gets jacked up by 100 bucks by the breeder.

There are some riparian areas fencing programs, forage seeding programs, but to find them is near impossible.

It should be clear!

It seems everytime government gets involved the price goes up and then you have to apply to get half it back....seems stupid...

They could sell more without the paper work and a lower price....

Or better yet put the rebate to the guy building stuff for him to find efficiencies to build at lower cost....

Instead of jacking the price on a handling facility ...why not have the mfg company build at a reasonable cost and give him the rebate to build another or hire another person......

It costs me the same either way but I am not in the business of building handling facilties. ..

If that makes sense...

Or the green vote gets split and the Bloc takes enough seats to hold the balance of power.

This is probably our best hope. Its a sad day when western Canadians have more in common with the Bloc than we do with Toronto or the lower mainland but that's where we're at. It won't help TMX but it would prevent some of the other Green/Dipper excesses.

These things should be known to dealers as to what a farmer qualifies for....this constantly looking for grants should be an easy listing on an accessible site...?

Is there still cash available for things like gps and narrow openers etc? I know there are still some programs for grants for some things if you dig deeper. Not saying it is government or party policy. There used to be a whole pile of programs under growing forward for farmers to tap into. Over time it seems these have been slipping by the wayside.

I think it will be Liberal minority with the Greens holding the balance. If the millenials get serious about climate like they did yesterday, they could easily make Greens official opposition. Only way for Conservatives to win in cities will be if the climate vote is split 3 ways.

But for the general population that hates farmers and think they are welfare its sure interesting how they are getting interest free loans for green house renos or tax breaks....and if they want to buy a house there is a 50000 dollar handout from CMHC....

But where are our farm groups ...shouldnt they be asking for interest free loans for green ( not John Deere) lower emission tractors????

Shouldn't the logic follow across all industries...

Ha Ha Ha! You run down city people yet come up with this gem. Scheer was born and raised in Ottawa. He moved to Regina to be with his future wife he met at University in Ottawa (her home town). His only job outside of politics in his wntire life has been waiting tables.

You run down politicians and city people yet of all the leaders running, Scheer has the most political background and the most city orientated life history. Hell, his party does not even have an agricultural policy.

Good point ....they want my vote so I have called twice to ask about the agriculture policy ...they have known for 4 years October 21 2019 is the election but no policy for their supporters that are rural based...

Here I sit in a riding where the card board cutout saying conservative will win with 70% of the vote and they don't have an ag policy...given the fact Scheer cheerleaded Ritz for gutting ag support programs...


My vote is taken for granted and they can't even show the rural base the courtesy of announcing an ag policy...

BTW Scheer is just an eastern transplant...not a true westerner...

Conservative majority. You gotta look deeper than our fake brainwashing media polls. Many seats are switching. New Brunswick almost all blue. Nova Scotia is coming around. GTA is switching. Winnipeg is losing libs, Ralph is toast, ndp in Saskatoon is done, no libs in Alberta, lower mainland is turning blue from red.

There is no way the libs can win, even a minority. They only have to lose 8 seats. They are on track to lose 50 at this point.

Look harder.

You are right.....it shows how really screwed the Country is!
