Why The Dutch Farmers Protest Could be Coming to Canada
Let's hope it does.
Trudeau, leading the fight to curb emissions is coming for Canadian Farmers. He is proposing a 30% reduction in the use of fertilizers by all farmers in an effort to reduce greenhouse gases. However, farmers are pushing back and calling on their brethren to stand against these ideas that ultimately harm the producers and the citizens of Canada.
Canada is the eighth largest exporter of agricultural products, a major exporter of wheat and one of the worlds biggest producers of peas and beans. The result of these curbing rules will ultimately reduce the crop yield for these farmers, which coupled with the war in Ukraine, will have broad reaching effects.
The proposal is part of the Canadian governments plan to reduce greenhouse emissions by 45% by year 2030. In the Netherlands the government is proposing a 50% reduction in ammonia emissions which will have detrimental effects on the yields coming from there. In Sri Lanka the government is on the verge of collapse after banning 100% of all fertilizer use within their agriculture industry.
With a reduction in yields coming from Canada the world will have no choice but import from other countries. The country that will gladly take Canadas share of the market is none other than Russia. After years of liberals calling the right supportive of Russia, policies don’t lie.
Liberal governments around the world are seething with control. Covid policies controlled the populations movement, bank freezes during the truckers protest controlled the ability to transact freely. Banning and reducing fertilizers around the world will increase food scarcity leaving the government to come in to control the movement of food. Guess who gets no food when that happens, same people who had their banks frozen and their movement controlled and monitored.
Here is the bright side. The Canadian government has shown its hand and its capabilities, you can bet the people of Canada will learn from this for the next time.
