But whatever Ah so you’re saying there are realistic alternatives today for replacing farm equipment. Oh wait you wouldn’t have the slightest clue to what farmers have for equipment because lets be real, the closest thing you ever came to anything resembling farm equipment is a tonka truck. People like you are so out to lunch, it’s like you think your food just magically appears in the grocery store. There’s a reason why the flipping Green Party is calling for a break on the carbon tax for the farmers. But hip is the expert . Oh wait you’re not., you’re just a pathological liar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read the bolded again, read it slowly, maybe one word at a time. when an alternative doesn’t exist, which for most farm equipment doesn’t for example like grain drying. But please keep posting your nonsense haha. It’s why the average farmer income is expected to fall by 12% by 2022. 1 minute ago, Warhippy said: As for sustainable equipment.

Like I said. Tonka trucks is the closest you’ve been to any farm equipment. Clearly you have never been to a farm Haha. Thanks for making yourself look even dumber. I get a kick of watching you constantly look foolish, which happens at least 2 times a day here.

I never said he wouldn’t be anything, I said I wouldn’t pick him in the top 5 over the other options. I was wrong he is worthy of a top 5 pick. Still happy we have Petey over him though. Nothing wrong with admitting when you are wrong. Something you struggle so mightily with even though it applies to you 99.99% of the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend said Canada is falling apart last night. I asked her if it wasn't just her area as she lives in Bowness. She said no, I'm in Quebec and it's all these rail blockades here and out of work people back home. I mentioned how these are the results of personal decisions and spending and almost 2 decades of bad governance. She claimed I was just sitting in my bubble in BC and was totally unaffected. So I let her know how the ports have been shut down. Rail has been shut down. BC has been told do this or else. I reminded her that it's not a situation or government people are protesting it's EVERYTHING about the system that puts business and the elite ahead of common people. That what she's seeing is effectively people who have had enough. It's not left or right it's everyone and we're all essentially pissed at the same thing. She doesn't see it that way. She's convinced it's only since 2015 and everything was fine before then. That's what we're dealing with. That level of self centered view is a huge part of the overall issue. You're inconvenienced now so it's an issue? Massive developments for the few people who can afford it should not be applauded by the majority who can't but will be forced to staff them because there's no other options.

I do think the media likes to drive us to blame 'the other' far too much and social media is a giant cesspool of negativity that just feeds all that. We need some common sense centrist politics, but that just doesn't seem in the cards. I'm happy Trudeau beat Harper, and I do like a lot of what his gov't has done. I do see a real leadership vacuum tho, I'm not talking about the CPC talking points either. I don't see any real ideas for getting us through this period with anything resembling economic success at the other end.

Much like Stromes 92a statement yesterday but his inability to see why I told him it was kind of essential to understand it and why 92 a exists. We won the carbon fight in province due to 92a. Why was 92a created again? Do you feel if we went in a direction in which 92a was properly applied for the reasons it was created that we wouldn't have these issues? Questions unasked, unanswered but clearly questions which have helped lead us here. It's not a new development it's been a decades long build up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, you "make far more" stupid, ignorant and illiterate posts. Why should I care about the opinion of someone who views all Muslims as potential terrorists. I have lived among and known many Muslims and I have generally found them to be peaceful and easy to coexist with. You are a bigot who hates and fears people you do not know based upon their faith, goes back to the aforementioned stupidity and ignorance. The illiteracy can be fixed though, I recommend some ESL classes that they offer new immigrants who are just starting out learning English.
