What they don't say in here is that there is basically 6 major players now in the grocery industry and they set the price. If you can meet that set price they import from a 3rd world country where they pay nothing for labor.

I read this morning that the Indian PM called in the Canadian ambassador to have a talk and tell him to tell the Turd to mind his own business about the farmer protests in that country or relations wil;l go back to where they went after his trip to India a couple years ago where he made an azz of himself. Its nice to see the tariffs on lentils and peas off right now and we don't need them back on anytime soon. Great pricing right now.

He just told them he wasn't backing down, and would back their farmers rights to free speech.


Wish he backed canadian farmers.......

Cash rent here is all over the map, but the top end is north of $100. Smaller parcels of land are trading over $5250.

Waaaaaay too many Hutterites around these parts putting unrealistic pressure on land prices....

Socialism hiding behind religion, slowly taking hold of agriculture.

They have been booted from slot of countries, but Canada seems to embrace them.

Send the kids to public schools.

Problem solved.

You are 100% correct.

Their way of life is not the same as what built rural western Canada. They’re typically despised in most communities... they’re not the “good” people that some would believe. A lot of petty theft at local businesses.... and then the theft at rural farm yards...

They would actually only need to send the girls to public school, because if they found out how the rest of the world lived, none of the women would ever stay at a colony.

I’m a proud southern Alberta farm boy, and believe in certain gender roles, but the sexism I have witnessed from “those people” is disgusting..!!!

They surrounded people south of us in the Lomond area buying up all the land and then when these farmers wanted to sell no other farmer would make offers because of it. Farmers then took what the Hutts offered them. Its not right. Some people like them because they can buy fresh bread and buns and veggies. To me thats why you support your local grocery store. That store will support local sports and groups. The Hutts buy nothing in the communities.

All you local guys gotta stop going over to the colonies and breeding their women. Let the inbreeding bloom and soon enough the two headed, mongoloid hare-lipped offspring will destroy themselves....

HaHa they say back in the day that they would pay local lads to breed the younger woman to stop this from happening. They say mom and pop would be on the other side of a curtain to make sure there was no monkey business. Just hop on and get it over with and collect the cash. Our neighbor was approached by the local colony but took a hard pass. The $200 wasn't a deal maker for the notoriety issues.
