Farmers are struggling with extremely high fertilizer prices

Local farmers are struggling with sharply increased costs. Nitrogen fertilizers currently cost almost three times as much as in the previous year, said the President of the Austrian Chamber of Agriculture, Josef Moosbrugger, at the APA. Significantly increased prices for animal feed, energy, building materials, spare parts, machines and other operating resources would also put a “considerable” strain on the balance sheets of agricultural and forestry operations.

Defending Freedom: Vets, Experts on Whether Canadians Would Fight Again

World War II concluded more than 75 years ago, and although there have been regional conflicts where Canadian soldiers have served since then, there’s been no war that tested the willingness of all young Canadians to go to the front lines to defend freedom if called upon.

Retired Lt.-Col. John Selkirk, who spent decades in the reserves and also taught at the Royal Military College of Canada, expressed confidence that Canada would respond to a contemporary threat.


I am not so optimistic, Canada is a 5th column now.

What Trudeau, Singh’s Praise For Fidel Castro Says About Canada’s Future

In recent weeks, media rumours have been swirling in regard to a potential partnership between the incumbent Liberal Party, and the federal NDP Party.

While media has played their part in advancing the theory, NDP party leader Jagmeet Singh has poured cold water on the concept:

“There is no discussion at all of a coalition and that is a firm no for me. There’s not going to be any coalition at all,” Singh said when speaking to reporters. He blamed the so-called rumours on Conservative Party leader Erin O’Toole.

White House Says It Will Not Shut Down Line 5 Pipeline From Canada

The White House has no plans to shut down a disputed Great Lakes pipeline that brings some 500,000 barrels of crude oil from Canada into the U.S. each day, a spokeswoman said Nov. 9.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer ordered the Line 5 pipeline to be shut down last year.

She said the Calgary-based company that operates it, Enbridge, violated an easement granted decades ago to run a section along state-owned land below the straits of Mackinac.

Coalition rumours are nothing but O’Toole ‘making stuff up,’ says NDP’s Singh

 

There is no proposal or deal to form a formal Liberal-NDP coalition government when the House of Commons returns later this month, says NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh.

During a media availability on Tuesday, Singh was asked about social media posts and comments put out by Conservatives over recent days that suggested a Liberal-NDP coalition was in the works.


More media bullshit, as if this isn’t going to happen.

The NDP and LPC are informally joined at the hip and Canada will soon be Venezuela. Trudeau’s she-media have collectively decided to gas-light us and focus on O’Toole:

The Star – Erin O’Toole is using an imaginary Liberal-NDP alliance to hide his own problems

CBC – Those rumours of a Liberal-NDP deal came at the right time for Erin O’Toole
