Friday Cocktail

The trend out of investing in larger projects in Canada began several years ago. Ignorance the trend.
I wouldn't blame anyone young and well capitalized to consider a change of scenery for business reasons.
2030 is approaching. Did we ever build an effective lobby system since board gone? I feel like we haven't.
We are so stuck in the past.
I'm disgusted with our various commissions discussing compliance hoping to ease the pain rather than mounting a credible defense in opposition.
Any suggestions for my checkoff refund??
Ottawa is I feel, increasingly autocratic. How to turn that around in our current system is the biggest problem.

My farming career will be on the wane in the next few yrs. Dads 82 and 3 girls who hate dirt and bugs and dust. I was told to never sell land but if insurmountable forces are aligned against you, not sure if thats the wisest decision. This shit aint yellowstone up here. We have a fraction of the legal and property rights that the americans do.

I mean Moe and Smith can frustrate Trudeau all day long, but remember he controls that international border that somehow we have to get our products across. The feds can slap an export sustainability levy on our goods anytime and we couldnt do shit.

I am the thinking the same Jazz.
Four girls in my family and they all have good education's with good jobs so not much hope of one of them taking over.
Keep hearing crazy stuff that a few years ago was considered loony conspiracy theory but with each passing year getting more and more real!

Land values are really high right now but if Trudeau gets another term I would really be afraid of everything falling apart.

[Partners]

Don't count your girls out yet.
Both our 2 are enjoying it more each yr.
Drive combine, grain cart, grain trucks , even smile picking rocks..
Both have high paying jobs.but alone time in a cab listening to 750 radio amazing.

The girls might not want it but the future son-in-law just might, I bought the in-laws farm almost 25 years ago, didn’t get much and paid full market value and don’t owe a dime to anyone anymore, a lot of people told me I’d never make it but I kinda think I did, not a chance I’d try it again with these new land prices,
Just give the new son-in-law a bit of a deal if he has some ambition.

[SASKFARMER]

Got south and my phone was ringing from home picked up and found out last night someone hit our farm dog on the side of our road and didn’t even stop in to say they did.

He was a great dog kept what shouldn’t be in the yard out but still playful to all family

[F4F]

Hard to see good dogs go. Seems to be when there gone you realize how much you enjoyed them.

[rumrocks]

Sorry to hear about your dog, you're never alone if you have a dog, they're almost spiritual at times.

[GALAXIE500]

true this whole shit show thing is connected and us canadians let it happen to us.

with gov what starts out as a good thing goes sideways real fast

Ontario and Quebec let this current 7 year gong show in Ottawa happen to us. That is where all the votes are and they decide our fate out here in the west.

Trudeau has a very tenuous grip on power. Each consecutive minority govt weakens him considerable. His legislative sessions accomplish near nothing now. Even the Senate amends his bills line by line now.

Every red cent extra that Canada makes he throws it into some virtue signal vote buying cause but its losing its bang now and we are facing a pretty nasty recession lead by housing.

I dont think it can last honestly. The next year will tell the tale.

"Once again, @DoombergT's "Law of Antilogic" applies.

Discouraging long-term energy production for short-term tax revenues is tantamount to sacrificing the future prospects of your economy for a quick populist win."
