Government Downsizing

[wade]

I read that the government was going to downsize and thought, good, a lot of positions created in the last few years weren't needed. They weren't there before, so why needed now?
But, I see that long time ag research positions are taking a hit. Does that mean the unnecessary job positions created are still filled? What signal does that send about/to agriculture?

[ajl]

Absolutely. Given the the federal gubmint in canuckistan does very little of any use, they are cutting positions that may be useful to protect useless ones. This is done to spite conservatives and try to communicate that gubmint cutbacks are bad. They could easily cut gender studies in foreign lands and abortions in foreign lands but they don't because that is the type of people they are.

Would be nice if the Government would allow the experimental farms to remain open but ask/force them to become way more efficient. I'm sure there could be alot of fat to trim. It might create some job loses but we wouldn't lose the value they provide to the agriculture sector. Over a decade ago(2012) the Government closed Indian Head's tree nursery. It doesn't look anything is happening there, I think it went to First Nation's land claims settlement.

Yes, PFRA tree nursery is owned by Carry the Kettle. They use admin building for their admin offices and band office. Rest of it has become a forest.

This liberal government needs to downsize their foreign handouts that are now over 10 billion while cutting Canadians ag investment
