Is this for real

[AlbertaFarmer5]

Why are all these " value add" companies never able to get going properly?

Perhaps it's because we are a big cold sparsely populated country with expensive labor, low productivity, high regulations, high taxes, unnecessarily high energy costs thanks to CO2 tax and renewable energy, a spoiled entitled workforce with all the wrong skills, and governments picking winners and losers and failing every single time.

It could also be that many of these were never bonafide value added projects, but simply pocket padding projects to get government grants.

lol , well that sums it up

i bet the CEO retired a multimillionaire and is related to a liberal cabinet minister?
Could be wrong ..

But Farm Credit lending over 40 million, absolutely absurd.

They grind them to a dry powder and use them in snack food for protein.
Drinks too
Same market as pea protein from the fractionation plants.

You may already have eaten them .

righto

Don’t forget to mention Aspire also received 35.3 million in taxpayer grant money from the various Liberal handout agencies mentioned in the article. Plus the 41.5 million FCC wants back. Holy Jesus Christ what moronic government on the planet would even think to support this?

Oh right the pot smoking Liberals in Canada. I wonder if Liberals smoke drugs when they hang out together and dream up ideas like eating and farming crickets. Why wouldn’t you just try it out in an old wood bin in the back forty first and then move into an old quonset that can’t fit the combine?

We always said this shit is not going to fly and it never did. Not surprised. Good on the debt collectors at FCC for shutting them down. At some point a sober grown up has to take control. But agree they need to fire everybody involved in approving the original loan.

Possible.

Maybe Goalie guy knows?

[Old Cowzilla]

Only need a few crickets under the deck singing while flipping a steak after making hay . Aw summertime !

[furrowtickler]

No doubt nothing new in third world countries and as cheap protein for industry.
is this where we want to go with food while the elite eat the real food we produce like grains and beef ???
Good lord , wth

[Old Cowzilla]

Not the cheap protein they thought otherwise the company would not have gone broke. Wonder how many grasshopper legs a guy eats every time you have a bowl of cereal . Should have hired a couple of pot bellied cattle buyers and a chain smoking feed truck operator to show them how it's done. Have to admit a bit of a junk food guy but lately don't always know what i am eating at these fast food joints and its starting to taste like crap and less desire to drop in these days.

The price of beef is so high consumers are eating other sources of proteins.
