Irrigation project cost would exceed return to provincial government

Son number One started his engineering degree this year.

There was some concern that he would not be accepted, since he did not get 100% on all of his high school departmental exams. Missed by one or two percent on a couple of courses. Makes me feel like an underachiever when I was in high school.

But I won't let that stop Chuck from insulting the intelligence of us dumb uneducated farmers.

You and your family may be good students and intelligent, but some of your ideas lack common sense.

And your dismissal of climate science and climate scientists suggests you are not as intelligent as you think you are.

Do engineers routinely reject well established scientific facts and evidence from experts in their area of expertise? I sure as hell hope not.

But A5 you persist in your climate change denial views that are just not supported by much of anything. Go figure?

Actually Chuck, I encouraged my grandkids to get some type Engineering or Science degree and try get on with one of Elon Musks companies, Preferably Space X.

Musk's companies appear to be a great place to work.

Do you see any better opportunities out there Chuck?

What do you think about getting your kids working for Musk.

Some say he say one of the phenoms that only come along every few hundred years?

He expects to save the US government trillions by cutting waste and corruption.

Seems like an excellent model to apply to the government. Imagine how much better the economy could function if he succeeds in removing that burden.

You continue to make this claim.

As we have discussed in countless times in the past, in complete opposition to denying, I fully embrace the benefits of climate change, and the associated benefits of increased CO2.
As I have said over and over, as of the end of the last cooling phase in the 70's this area could hardly grow barley and oats, the season was too short, and the heat units were so lacking.
Now we are successfully growing wheat and long season canola.

I can imagine but it would be naive to think the powers that be would allow it.

Hopefully much like Twitter.
Look at things differently and get rid of all the Departments of nice to have that haven't done anything for generations.
Let the people keep thier money.

Let the people keep thier money.

Nothing more than a faux concern on Agriville, when some on here have bragged about being eager and willing Takers to get a fiscal advantage over their neighbors.

So much for walking the talk.

Trump wins this election tomorrow. As much as I see through his bs and despise his soft stance on Russia and draconian women rights views his previous policies must’ve been sound enough that the Biden regime kept many intact. Doesn’t matter who wins trade relations between Canada and the USA will be strained going forward. Keystone at least gets built and hopefully waste cutting truly is enacted. Once the democrats get their heads out of their asses and realize they need to listen and act upon middle American concerns they will be doomed to where they are.
