As rent comes due, restaurants call for aid

[bucket]

Sad for our farm as we worked hard to get into supplying several with lamb. Just when we made some great strides, this virus came along. Direct sales and the stores are doing great, but no restaurant orders any more for who knows how long? It won’t kill us, we just got going, but it is still frustrating when you work for a year or two to get into the business and jump through the hoops, only to have that side collapse.

I feel terrible for our restaurants. They are in a real pickle for sure!

And in the years I have read your posts....it seems you have worn their shoes...

And what did any government do for you over the years...


Do they need help? Yup....but never forget how little they did for you...

I guess I am not even saying I expect them to get government help. I don’t. Just like I don’t wish for or expect government help personally. I’ll fight my own way along thank you very much! I am just saying I feel badly for them personally, as I know how tight margins are and how hard they worked to get this far, without the benefit of their main source of equity, (which they usually actually don’t have in the first place), increasing by two and three times.

Restaurant owners I have found are extremely and ridiculously hard working, not seasonally like a grain farmer. I mean they are at it ALL THE TIME. They go hard all the time! My best wishes are with the forward thinking, local food sourcing, independently owned restaurants around the province.

I am serioulsy looking at the entire landscape of canadian business and I only see two or three industrys still functioning. Liquor and pot, forestry and fishery and ag. Lets see if they can lead us out of a depression and like no politician even acknowledging this. Be lucky if there isnt a famine at the end of all this.

Air Canada made good money last year. ...and already have the talks started directly with Moroneau. ..

Wife and a bunch of other whinoes cancelled a trip for middle of April and Air Canada put their airplane money in a 2 year trust fund.
Money could be better spent on pork and beans and a gas mask.

So absolutely full of shit as usual!!!!
Implying grain farmers don’t work? Hey unstable genius #2 look in the mirror you were
Just laughing at the rest of us grain farmers proclaiming how smart chasing *** sheep in The pasture even when so many in here told you Exactly what would happen and it’s starting for you. Maybe when canola hits 15 you ll jump back and tell us all how smart you were then?
Grain farmers don’t work hard? Don’t have tight margins? Only restaurant owners that you’re trying to sell to and it’s affecting you? You know the virus that you and stable genius #1 hero downplayed and ridiculed the efforts to stop it?
Remember be happy your in the bush somewhere safe with all that mutton to chomp on!!!!

The same thing that will destroy those restaurants,us grain farmers and you idiot is that the system whether you like it or not created by conservative and liberal politicians is rigged against us all at the bottom. The only way to be stable is getting the help that all the bombardier
Morris, snc, pulse king people get. And that would only come if us idiots stopped the bulkshit
You promote on here with your blind unearned
Vote.

Couldn’t grow wheat didn’t even grow wheat but was an expert in the cwb, can’t grow canola our biggest cash crop, and now sheep??? Lmao
Get with the program and realize government affects you whether they do something or not.
If they are supporting someone else its not gonna help you the most.

Let’s start pumping that 5 dollar crude???? Lmao

How about supporting individuals like yourself grow sheep instead? It’s the only way in a bigger
Sense than any individual in any sector survive.
Unless of course you can fend off the Chinese, saudis,Russians etc yourself???

What a fool if you aren’t bought off to post your stupidity. What a stable genius if you are.

Geez, 🙈💥 Got up on the wrong side of the bed Big Flat Tire?

Quite the rant. Feel better now wheelie bin?

Cuz you sure don't look any better.

Hope somebody dumps the trash.

Wow, big wheel. I am curious what I did to you that made you so upset whenever I chat about things on here? I hope your ok. I have no idea what I did or said to set you off, but I am truly sorry that you seem to be struggling in some way.

I never said grain farmers don’t work hard. And once again, putting words in others mouths, and thoughts in heir heads is not usually very beneficial to truth.

Anyhow, I hope your day gets better.

Wheel phoning the terminal to take your canola or wheat is a far different world than getting down and dirty with retail outlets and customers. How much time did you spend marketing last year? Meet any of your customers face to face and have to sell your product?

Try crossing the line to being a price maker and you might find that a little harder work that you think.

I will give you a little tip in case nobody ever told you. There is no way out of this without our oil industry so bash them if you like, that's like punching yourself in the face.

Milk dumping has begun in Canada - but they will be fully compensated for it.
