Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ignored cries of anger and desperation from farmers and provincial officials last weekend by pressing ahead with a climate change agenda that will dramatically reduce Canada’s use of fertilizer — the same ruinous strategy that drove Dutch farmers into revolt and destroyed the agriculture of Sri Lanka.

The Toronto Sun reported on a dismaying Friday meeting of federal and provincial ministers, in which the latter could not convince the Trudeau administration to show any “flexibility” in its emissions targets, not even with a global food crisis on the horizon:

Several provincial governments, and organizations representing farmers have asked for emissions reductions from fertilizer to be measured via intensity – how much food is produced compared to the amount of fertilizer used. The Trudeau government is demanding an absolute reduction in emissions, which farmers say will result in less food being produced at a time when the world can ill afford it.

“The world is looking for Canada to increase production and be a solution to global food shortages. The Federal government needs to display that they understand this,” Alberta minister Nate Horner said.

“We’re really concerned with this arbitrary goal,” Saskatchewan’s David Marit said…

I think communism is a thing for sadists who come up with the worst policies and implement them in the most destructive way. Something has failed everywhere it was tried so the lesson they get is they have to double-down on what has failed before.

No version of reality will make the committed leftist bend their ideology.

Leftists (AKA Marxists) love killing people all in the name of “safety and environment”.

I understand that Canada has a lot of tall strong trees. So, what is the problem? Start decorating!

More than half of Fidel Trudeau’s cabinet are WEF members. Time for the farmers to adopt an old but valuable battle cry…”Let’s Roll!”

These farmers need to stick together. They also need to tell federal employees to pick a side and be careful which side they choose. Lessons learned from Afghanistan.

How is it that this WEF membership isn’t viewed like being a member of the Nazi Party? Some day, I am sure it will be.

Remember folks, leftist progressives only assume power when no one is willing to do anything of consequence to stop them....outside of expending a lot of hot air by BMWing. That’s Bitching,Moaning,Whining. Soon the powers that be will silence that hot air too. You know, for the children.

There is one version of reality that convinces a leftist.

I’ll leave it to your imagination.

Seems like all of a sudden many nations have decided to ban/restrict the use of nitrogen based fertilizer. All at once and out of the blue. Almost as if some evil cabal (WEF) had issued an order to world leaders to reduce food production.

Actually, they’re following the Netherlands to a tee. Both are following the UN/WEF Agenda 2030.
