Covid Farm Assistance a sham useless garbage

[the big wheel]

So checked into the assistance through FCC and its not for any old loans and
only available if you qualify individual basis. So our farm groups and our government
and opposition don't understand that blockades, crop out, poor grades, grain drying,
slow movement haven't been a problem? WTF is this loan for then? guys that don't need it
to buy more land or what?

I figure FCC is acting on behalf of farmers that are wanting to keep growing larger and larger....if you are happy at the current farm and hit a rough patch .....they have buyers for your farm....


Otherwise you are shit out of luck....

No real surprises there . Look where the orders came from ...

It was never intended to be for the farmers benefit, it is for FCC's benefit. If it was for farmers the program would be thru any financial institution

Will end up a land grab for someone ...

FCC is a joke, has and always will be. Lend 50% of their values not FMV, charge lots of fees, charge higher interest rate, then the first sign you are having trouble...blacklist you....even when you pay them all back. Give you an umbrella when it’s sunny and take it away when you are getting rained on. Good partner....not.

Some people have had great success with them getting all kinds of forgiveness etc....not my experience.

So true!

So just another b/s political grand stand that leaves us with nothing and yet hit with more carbon tax’s .....
The real story
There will be lots when this is over.
Hopefully Air Canada ... a non essential entity, make good use of our money , I mean our kids money .. what about WestJet ????
can’t eat an airplane ...

Oh and the kick in the ass for the truckers that are delivering all the essential good and services like food and medicine should be happy to pay the extra carbon tax’s .

Does anyone here ever contact their conservative MP to mention who they are suppose to represent??????

Seems farmers should have some negotiating strength and yet the conservatives just ignore their voters...

My experience...I have written a couple emails to my MP and a couple phone calls....


I get "....we are all in this together..."""" interesting we were not in it together when shit hit the fan last fall/.


As I watched my crop for the last 5 months....the average person only had to wait a couple weeks to start feeling the pain and the liberals mortgaged my kids future on a shitty bet of some of these businesses...
