Sylvain tells it like it is. Nothing has changed with our federal government. Still incompetent, still ignoring anything resembling common sense, still picking winners and losers according to their own ideology. Pretty much sums up this country over the last ten years, with no relief in sight, and yet some feel content with our situation. This nightmare has to end sometime. Doesn't it?

Friend or not, they want to buy our Canola, then let's do it, we as a whole in Canada don't buy EV anyway, so let them bring in a cheap EV, who really cares as long as the trade is stabilized again.

It is what is done to the info that is being collected. Meta collects data from you and finds that you like hot dogs so every time you enquire about food you are brought to NY Fries. China wants to know about who you are and what you are doing and if you are part of the Chinese diaspora and if they can put pressure on your family in China.

CSIS is ill equipt to deal with a super power like China.

Read about Nortel when they collaborated with Huawei and how they stole their tech and China subsidised Huawei and they put Nortel (a Canadian company) out of business with their own stolen tech.

Remember when Rogers entire network when down for days and they said it was a "router problem", ya it was, all those routers were Huawei routers from China. Just so happens we were holding the Russian turbine for the Nord Steam pipeline at the time, and China buys Russian oil. Once we agreed to return the turbine Rogers came back online.

I gather that none of you in fear of security risks are farmers, and/or living in farming communities. No farmers = no food, or only food produced by big corporations, likely GMOs laced with glyphosate and other chemical poisons. What is the greater risk?

The bigger risk is these cars remotely running into critical infrastructure or used for espionage. Our farmers need our support certainly, and help finding alternative crop options. More local food distribution and more trade with allies.

China and Russia both buy oil from Iran. Russia buys it to keep the war against Ukraine going, so what's not to "like" right? China uses forced labour to make the garbage we buy from them. China removes and sells organs from living human beings. China imprisons anyone who dares question the Party. China executes prisoners by firing squad and sends the bill for the bullets to the next of kin. China spies on Chinese Canadian ex-pats and threatens to go after their relatives in China if they refuse to go along with interference in our nominations and electoral process.

WEF Klaus Schwabb: "What we are most proud of, is that we infiltrate cabinets". It's rot from the inside at the end of the globalists toward more and more control for One World Government. Economically we've had it good for many decades and maybe got too comfortable, and believe what we want to hear from those cabinets. It's a return to feudalism, even tyranny.

The farmers need to grow something else like....wheat for food. Canola is canada oil, made to lubricate machinery (which there is less of) and an unhealthy very bad oil to consume (let the chineese griw & consume their own poison)

Expand full comment
Derek Holshorst's avatar

What is canola oil? Canola oil is one of the healthiest cooking oils available, with zero trans fat and the lowest amount of saturated fat of all common cooking oils. And because canola oil is so versatile and affordable, it's ideal for making a wide range of healthy foods, both at home and on a commercial scale.

I agree canola oil is a good cooking oil, etc. But there is a miss understanding about the title vegetable oil. The term is a general description of all cooking oils. That includes soybean oil, corn oil, sunflower oil, canola oil, and others. The term is used to disguise, or just generalize most oils.

I agree to diversify our agricultural production and indeed canola oil is the worst oil to consume. However if people want to buy what we produce, why should we refuse to sell?

About a dollar per bushel drop. Considering that the price was up at about $15 dollars a bushel about the highest price average for recent given years that's not much to worry over. What's far more important, why the hell are we dealing with a communist country. Trade should be banned on any communist country. There are other places to sell canola. Farmers are not looking into the places for alternative crops and markets. To me this is because it was easy selling without home work and a government pushed agenda. I don't feel very sorry for those farmers putting their eggs in one basket.
