The Trudeau government plans to reduce nitrogen emissions significantly, despite nitrogen fertilizer being an ‘essential crop nutrient’ for Canadian farmers.

Trudeau Joins Dictators Mao, Stalin In Attack On Food Production
Interviewed this week by Fox News, former federal Minister of Agriculture Gerry Ritz baled the hay regarding the Trudeau government’s attack on Canadian farmers.
“Ritz is fighting mad about Trudeau putting a 35% tariff on fertilizer because he believes nitrogen is a source of greenhouse gasses and we must eliminate those even if it means farmers can’t produce enough food to feed Canadians.”
The former Federal Agricultural Minister suggested Trudeau is “still festering over being thoroughly embarrassed and upstaged by the Freedom Convoy, and this assault on food is his latest volley to silence critics.”
Trudeau Moves Ahead With WEF’s Plan To Abolish Farms by 2030
Following a meeting of federal and provincial officials on Friday, the Alberta and Saskatchewan Ministers of Agriculture expressed “profound disappointment” over Trudeau’s decision to attempt to reduce nitrogen emissions from fertilizer in the name of “fighting climate change.”
Trudeau Is Stoking A Canadian Farmers’ Rebellion With His Attack On The Use Of Fertilizer
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government is pushing forward with imposing requirements on Canadian farmers to reduce nitrous oxide emissions from fertilizers, the same reduction mandates that have caused farmers in the Netherlands to engage in mass protests.
The Liberals are arguing that their 30 percent nitrous oxide reduction target is purely about emissions and not fertilizer, but it would be impossible to meet those targets the government wants to implement without cutting back on the use of fertilizer, which is the biggest contributor to emissions.
Despite widespread outrage from provincial agricultural ministries, Marie-Claude Bibeau, the federal Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Foods, said that she believes farmers will go along with the 30 percent reductions willingly.
Gonna party like it’s 1789.
Do Canadians Get It Yet? The Liberals Want You To Be Poor
The Trudeau Liberals spent years trying to wreck the Canadian energy sector.
As a consequence, the cost-of-living, including the cost of energy, has risen dramatically, something that wouldn’t have happened (at least not to the same extent) if Canada had been effectively making use of our abundant natural resources.
But that’s not enough.
The Liberals are now setting their sights on Canadian farmers, seeking to impose the same disastrous policies that have caused such a massive backlash in the Netherlands.
Putin’s ‘food terrorism’ in Ukraine war leaves millions facing famine in Africa
Human rights campaigner Lord Alton of Liverpool told the House of Lords how the Russian military is stealing Ukrainian grain, destroying the country’s agricultural infrastructure and blockading its ports on the Black Sea, preventing exportation via that route.
Meanwhile, 400 million people are said to be dependent on grain imported from Ukraine, sometimes referred to as “the breadbasket of Europe”.
Canada’s Farmers Warn Trudeau As He Threatens Fertilizers
Trudeau has recently criticized grain growers as the worst emissions offenders. This is what the Dutch government did – demonized farmers.
Farmers in Canada aren’t paranoid. Trudeau has put them next on his kill list. He’s a good little World Economic Forum operative. The Prime Minister is looking to kill fertilizers.
It’s a land grab scheme. You will own nothing.
When Intentions Are All: The Disastrous Consequences of the Green Movement’s Actions
It has been said that in the “progressive” mind, intentions matter far more than practical realities. Passion and commitment drive everything, and utopia shimmers on a distant horizon. Who can be against “saving the plant”? The journey may seem pleasant enough for a while, especially in advanced and basically well-run countries whose systems were built with “design margin,” robust enough to absorb some bad contingencies. But that can only carry a country – or a global economy – so far. Gwyn Morgan lays out the awful humanitarian results when unworkable government policies driven by decades of green ideology are compounded by war and geopolitics.
Spanish farmers join the Dutch, Italian, and other Europeans farmers protesting restrictive green policies
First, we had the Dutch farmers revolting against green policies of the Netherlands and making their voices, and tractors heard.
Then it began to spread across Europe to Italy.
Now, we have Spaniards joining the protests, as farmers across Spain are taking their farm equipment to the streets.
There’s a great Dijon mustard crisis and Canada is a big part of the cause
Surgical masks and paracetamol for the fight against COVID-19. Microchips from Asia for European car manufacturers. Sunflower oil from Ukraine for restaurants and households. All have been in short supply at times since the start of the pandemic. But now — for French food lovers — it’s getting serious: the country is running out of mustard.

UN: Record 345 million people ‘marching to the brink of starvation’

UN tells farmers to cut emissions by 6% globally: “Do more with less”
A new report co-authored by the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) calls on farmers to globally reduce emissions by 6% while also increasing yield by 28% to meet food supply demand.
Regulated fertilizer reduction would cost Canadian farmers $48 billion by 2030
Fertilizer Canada has released details of a report, compiled by Meyers Norris Penny (MNP), that aims to outline the significant impact a regulated reduction in nitrogen fertilizer use would have on farmers’ bottom lines.
The Government of Canada has announced an “aspirational” goal of 30 per cent absolute emissions reduction target for on-farm fertilizer use by the year 2030. While the government has not announced that the reduction will be achieved through regulatory restrictions on fertilizer use, MNP’s report explores what the potential outcome would be to the farm economy if it did.
Dutch Farmers Protesting EU’s Militant Green Regs Spread Across Europe
Dutch farmer protests over government policies and rising “agflation” destroying their businesses have spread to more European countries.
The farmers are protesting about rising costs and government restrictions put on livestock numbers and fertilizer use in a bid to cut carbon emissions.
