Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???

What he said was subjective. Pierre did say Carney wa badly educated (questionable) BUT he pointed out several errors Carne has made in the last 4-5 years in his predictions. Pierre and Carney are very well known to each other from years ago in parliamentary committee.

Saying he is whining is like saying the Liberals are complaining when they talk smack about the Conservatives. In my view, this is the game and Carney has more than indulged in it.

I think that's a well written and thought out response.

Much better than implying that peoples biases make someone inherently wrong or right.

You certainly have your own biases but I don't tend to dismiss you out of hand.

lots of decisions in the wind to make. Our neighbours dont seem to be worried one way or the other with about 50% fertilizer prebooked and the other 100% also dont seem to be shying away from corn. Had an almost total write off last year due to lack of precipitation so obviously hoping for better

Waiting to hear Trump talk about moving water from the Great Lakes to the US corn belt area in 3-2-1…..

YUp, I am just very open about it. When your ready for a CPC membership, I'll help you out, $15 for a year or $25 for 2. Which one?

Sounds like a great time to shut the straight of Hormuz and plunge the global food supply into a crisis that will kill millions due to starvation.

But to bring this back to Canada...do we benefit more from high fertilizer costs pumping up our economy compared to the cost of food?

I cannot join another political party while I'm still a member of the Canadian future party.

In all seriousness, I would trust them much more than the PPC or the current version of the Marxist, err, I mean NDP.

Yup.

And granted, the LPC Carney is pretty much owning the center right now, so I'm not displeased with working with a small party with no chance of winning, but Carney wont be PM forever and I have no confidence the CPC ever moves back to the center of the political spectrum. As such, for the day Carney is no longer PM, and the left flank of the party reclaims the reins, there will be a party there ready to stake the claim to the center of the political spectrum.

Circumstances can change things real fast, a good leader can exploit an opportunity. Having spoken to a former PPC candidate he told me more or less "The PPC could have seats by now but Max made the party about sticking it to the conservatives rather than getting a new voice in parliament..."

there will be a party there ready to stake the claim to the center of the political spectrum.

There is ALWAYS an opportunity for a new party to squeeze in. Last years election showed Canadians are not really too sure who to follow.

If sask can increase production of potash yes, with Saudi out of the picture, and ghe war preventing ukraine from exporting, america has a choice of Canada, Morocco or China..

Canadian PM says close economic ties with US have become a ‘weakness’

Mark Carney says Canada must build economic ties with other countries amid shifting relationship with the United States.

As for high prices for fertilizer, I wonder some shifts in how fields are managed might be in order. Put a field into a cycle with a crop that requires minimal or no fertilizer and then raze it to add nutrients more naturally. Smaller yields, but perhaps more resilient?

I'd be surprised if the Experimental Farm in Ottawa wasn't doing testing around that very thing this season.

I think crop rotation has already been extensively researched for many years now?

heirloom varieties perhaps but likely come with low outputs to go with their low inputs

Hydroponic operations would suffer the most as they rely of mixing fertilizer and minerals into the water to sustain growth

Soy and other pulses like lentils are good for that. The rhizomes on their roots naturally fix atmospheric nitrogen and insert it into the soil in a way plants can use. Thats one of the reasons soy is in our rotation.
