    Maybe because we have the third most abundant natural resources in the world?

    It is beyond imagination that even poor government can not take advantage of that?

    Why do you think we have maintained that assesment?

      Watch the Big Short. Those ratings agencies all rated americas housing market as AAA in 2006. We all know what happened after that.

      Show me a country that has recovered from 300% debt to GDP? Those countries in Europe saved themselves by creating a currency bloc. USD is reserve currency so it can take a lot of debt.

      But Canada is not part of that. We are totally exposed. We just about defaulted in 1996. Does any one thin out finances are in better shape now?

      For Canada to keep its AAA rating it will have to sacrifice its credit markets. And the result is the same. Cost of capital doubling.

        Just one of the farms frustration

        Nov delivery Faba's contract finally gets the call to haul just when the roads and yard turn to slop. 6 inches of fresh wet sloppy snow to add to the mess plus road bans.

          Is there much demand for Fabas ? I seen awhile ago that the Olymel price board dropped bids at all locations.

              As long as this country is being run by the Eastern Woke Blokes, Canada will struggle to survive. Sad but true!

                  I have a question does the average farmer feel he/she is getting their money out of our check-off dollars. For me it's a hard No!

                    They haven't done much for years and don't question it...they are like pouty little kids.

                    The only prerequisite for most of the guys on boards is someone is taking care of their inherited farm while they play board member.

                    I have asked questions and been told my letters have been essentially thrown in the garbage.

                      At my age it's just a no.
