UN Trudeau pushes ahead on fertilizer reduction as provinces and farmers cry foul - Provincial agriculture ministers are expressing frustration with the Trudeau government over plans to effectively reduce fertilizer use by Canada’s farmers in the name of fighting climate change.

Marie-Claude Bibeau, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-food, speaks during a press conference announcing announcing $16 million in funding for Living Laboratories in Alberta during an Alberta Beef Producer?s summit at the Hyatt Regency in Calgary on Thursday, July 14, 2022.

Provincial agriculture ministers are expressing frustration with the Trudeau government over plans to effectively reduce fertilizer use by Canada’s farmers in the name of fighting climate change.

A meeting of federal and provincial ministers wrapped up in Saskatoon on Friday with several provinces saying they are disappointed.

The federal government is looking to impose a requirement to reduce nitrous oxide emissions from fertilizers saying it is a greenhouse gas contributing to climate change. While the Trudeau government says they want a 30% reduction in emissions, not fertilizer, farm producer groups say that at this point, reducing nitrous oxide emissions can’t be done without reducing fertilizer use.

“Provinces were disappointed by the lack of flexibility and consultation regarding the federal target,” Ontario’s Lisa Thompson said after the meeting.

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

Im all for starving canadians!

I hope our Canadian farmers taked some tips advices from the Dutch farmers. It'll like to see some manure dropped at the head of some Canadian bureaucrats.

No, they'll be arrested on the spot. Chrystia "My granddaddy was a Nazi" Freeland will see to it, as well as ordering the banks to cut their funds and effectively financially ruin them. She did that with the trucker protests. It quieted things up real quick. Europeans have more experience with that shit and do not give a damn - remember, they easily tossed cops down stairs and beat them up when things got nasty. Canadians just sat back and did nothing.

Dictator does dictator shit in his dictatorship, where he's already proven that peaceful protest not only doesn't work, but can get you locked up indefinitely.

Things aren't gonna get better up there without going full Sri Lanka

Food prices are already rising here. We have 8.1% inflation. Trudeau is doing this on WEF orders and to make life more miserable for everyone. I'm afraid that for all the kicking and screaming here, no one will stop him. Crops will fail, people will have food insecurity, they'll starve to death in politeness. That's the Canadian way.

The sad thing people on here aren't talking about is nitrates in the air/ground/water. This isn't to cut all nitrogen use, it's literally to cut down on excess use. This is an easy thing to look up. Also, I myself live in an area where nitrogen pollution ruined the ecosystem, and when it was addressed and excess nitrogen use was banned, shockingly the algal blooms that was killing the populations of fish went away. Anyways here are some reads for this, (1) (2).

Which can be done. What is being proposed is a near ban on fertilizer, which WILL IRREVOCABLY DAMAGE OUR ENTIRE AGRICULTURE. They did just that with the Dutch farmers. What this is is a land grab. Food scarcity was suspected of being the next big thing after COVID and lo and behold, it came true.

This has little to do with environmental pollution and everything to do with punishing Canadians and starving them - literally - into submission. Trudeau will get away with this.

didn't trudeau ever hear the phrase, dont shit where you eat.
or the other phrase, don't make your waiter angry?

 

[Narcotics]

It's funny how all these progressive countries do shit like this instead of doing anything about china and india who are the ones throwing the most garbage out.

 

[Unpaid Emotional Labourer]

I honestly don’t see how this ends without Trudeau’s head on a spike.

Not in Minecraft, and obviously I’m not beheading him, I am blessedly free in the beautiful kingdom of Florida. But a little pissant like this can never inspire the love and loyalty of his Praetorian guard to the point they’ll protect him from the literally starving public.

Can you send me a link to where Trudeau or really anyone in the government talked about a nitrogen ban? All I'm seeing is stuff from OUTSIDE of the government, and from very obviously anti-left/Trudeau sources at that.

Canada has been asking for Killdozer moment for a while now. Whether any Canucuck or group of Canucucks rises up is the question. I doubt any will.

 

[tehpope]

I swear the powers that be want to have food riots. It would give them an excuse to crush more personal freedoms.

Why don't they just do it? Canada is pretty cucked. More so than the rest of the west. Use them as a beta test of taking freedoms away. The only thing that happened during the honkening was Turdeau got a finger wagging from other countries. Come on WEF, step up your game.

Less fertilizer, smaller crops, decline in production, eventually-food shortages. Trudeau is following the WEF playbook to a fucking T. How dangerous do you reckon a starving person is? Pretty fucking dangerous if you ask me.

How much energy would a starving person have to revolt?

didn't trudeau ever hear the phrase, dont shit where you eat.
or the other phrase, don't make your waiter angry?

Why would Turdeau care. If shit really hit the fan, he'd be on the first private jet out of Canada to Switzerland or where ever. That's what happened in Sri Lanka.

Theyll do what their masters tell them.

After the Sri Lankan President fleed, he was immediately replaced.

 

[KiwiFuzz]

This seems like the most asstastic timing.

Isn't Canada's primary export wheat? And isn't there a little something happening in the world right now that's fuxating the global wheat supply?

Also, stuff like this assumes that farmers are retards.

Joe Bob is going to send a soil sample and $15 to the county and the county is going to send him back a piece of paper that says, "If you're growing wheat, we recommend adding 3 tons per acre ammonium nitrate to your land." Joe Bob is going to pull out his phone and he's going to punch in his acreage times 6,000. This number tells him how many pounds of ammonium nitrate he needs. That's how much he's going to get. Adding more is just throwing money away.

Just because my faggot neighbors can't read the back of a box of MiracleGro doesn't mean that people who do this for a living don't know shit about shit.

Is this good enough or nah?
Because it's a 30% reduction, you might as well push ahead with a ban.

 

[Cardef1121]

So this is the next Chantal arc, then? She becomes an anti-Trudeau politicow for causing a massive food shortage?

 

[Duke Nukem]

Great, Canadians and """Canadians""" pouring across the northern border.

We built the wall on the wrong border.

 

[Honka Honka Burning Love]

Cool, Step 1 to Shri Canada complete.

 

[mrpatapon]

Has anyone here considered the idea that the Canadian Gov isn't actually imposing an artificial limit on the amount of fertilizers farmers are allowed to use because of climate change? What's really happening is that they're actually trying to hide the fact that there's a fertilizer shortage happening due to lack of imports from Russia.

This article here says that the US is quietly encouraging agricultural and shipping companies to buy more Russian fertilizers, despite the sanctions on Russia.

Nobody in either government wants to admit that these sanctions are the main cause of the global shortages on things like food and fuel.

Want to know something kinda spooky?

All the leaders of the nations who are enacting policies that restrict foodstuff production (that would be Canada, the Netherlands, France and Germany so far and Sri Lanka took massive loans from the WEF just before their collapse) all were part of the WEF emerging leaders program a few years ago. Like everyone of them.

Also the leader of the WEF, Klaus Schwab, wrote a book called the Great Reset which advises that world leaders (note he says leaders and not elected officials) should work to bring about a central world government and one of the first major steps toward that end is to enforce production controls and regulations as to gain control over food supply sources to ensure proper distribution and direction of development in order to maintain control of the populace during the unrest that would beget such a one world government.


Funny coincidence huh?

 

[AnotherPleb]

Good thing that Canadians have a bill of rights that matt-ahahah I'm sorry I couldn't post that with a straight face.
Hard times are coming, leafs, and you need to do what you have to in order to survive.

[Tacitus Kilgore]

It's worked wonders in other countries that did it. Just ask Sri Lanka and there was one other. Their whole country fell apart. Make sure to buy your green approved fertilizer from China.

I felt those links were very heavily biased so I went to check out a better source.... there is no better source. Look at these, do they look unbiased to you?
