The farmers are who they are. Hard working, willing to do the work and likely established the business. Their sex or color should not be part of FCC’s criteria. Un-believable!

Ottawa, powered by the abomination known as the Federal Liberals has become the poster child for racists.

The problem is the entirety of their racism is directed towards Canadians, pretty much all of them white.

Of course these morons call what they are doing... something different... Taking care of the "Underrepresented" for example but they get to define that and in general when one looks at the stats and percentages the groups they call "underrepresented" are in fact greatly over represented statistically speaking while the opposite is done with respect to those who are white {both maile and female}.

Remember...

Elect garbage...

Get garbage governance...

Garbage Policies

AND OF COURSE a garbage civil service. One which is neither civil nor provides much service.

This sadly is what Canada has become and it was with the willing participation of way, way, way too many apathetic, ill informed and just plain lazy voters.

They say farm families “generally “earn more than the national average. What does generally even mean?

As a small, 5th generation, family farmer I’ve never heard of anyone in our area make that much in a year. It’s laughable to make such a statement.

Stats Can reports the average farmer earns $95,140 annually. They don't take into account the average farmer works 60 to 80 hours a week and at all times of day. It doesn't mention the huge capital investment each farmer has in land, equipment and livestock. A Farmer needs a return on capital to grow and sustain the business. The average Canadian may work 30-40 hours a week for their $83,000. They get to go home and not worry about a $100,000 dairy cow ready to calve out.

So discriminating against the people who make our food is the government’s new goal? That will not help the food insecurity that is already growing in this country. Disgusting!

So they want to destroy the farming industry now. Wasn't enough to destroy all other industries, they have to force there bs on the farmers. Who know what they're doing. Are the lieberals planning to do what russia did, take over the farms. Government has no idea how to farm, nor do they know how to run a business. They can't do what they were elected for. There's two things they are best at is pilfering from the taxpayer, and lying.

Oh, didn't you know? Ideologies are more important than reality when you're a leftist. Ideologies are more important than humans when you're a leftist.

It's okay. We "right-wing extremists" have our faults but, fortunately, the lefties are compassionate. They may even offer us MAID to put us out of our misery.

Don't take the bait. We need more Canadians like you. Stick around. I think, despite current conditions, it will be worth it in the end.

Well thanks, but I can see no democratic ruling in this busted down country. Canada is gone. Corruption has been driven too deep.

So the Liberal government, once again, is going to "fight racism" by being racist. Good plan.

Why does Canada adopt every discredited progressive policy three years after its been abandoned elsewhere? As the nation sinks into a quagmire the only strategy is to double down. Self immolation.

One standard excuse for implementation of socialist ideals seems to be that the many examples of failures of socialism in history only give evidence of those who didn't do it "right" but the new attempts at imposing socialism ideals will get it right THIS TIME.

My brother successfully farms the same land in Eastern Ontario that my ancestors farmed since the early 1800s. How dare he be successful. Apparently that's unfair. The only reason he's successful must be because he's white, right?

Virtue-signalling is always a great way of disguising the draconian measures taken by totalitarian, political monsters bent on world domination. Welcome to The New World Order.

Agriculture is number four for suicides in Canada. The other careers with more are also male dominated careers (mining, construction, automotive repair). So the Canadian government in its infinite wisdom plans on adding some more stress to their lives? Brilliant. Maybe these male dominated jobs make more money because what they do is tougher than the easier 9 to 5 jobs everyone else is whining about not getting paid enough for.

Oh boy. Just what we need. DEI stuffed down the throats of the farming industry. Talk about a disaster in waiting! If you want an example of planned destruction, you have it here in spades!
