Manitoba PC Caucus calls on federal government to drop fertilizer reduction strategy

Manitoba's Progressive Conservative Caucus is calling on the federal government to abandon its fertilizer reduction strategy.
    
Ian Wishart, MLA for Portage la Prairie, brought forward a private member’s resolution Tuesday, calling on Ottawa to abandon its plan to create what he calls, arbitrary fertilizer reduction targets.

“Justin Trudeau and the NDP-Liberal coalition’s plan to impose fertilizer reduction targets is totally irresponsible during a time of food insecurity and high inflation,” said Wishart in a statement. “This harmful policy will drive up the price of groceries.”

“This policy will impact anyone who consumes food in this country, and like many current federal policies, those struggling the most will be the ones who are disproportionately impacted,” added Wishart.

Video: We’re gonna build a new barn to start producing vaccines in Canada

We are a family farm in Ontario showing you what we do on our farm to produce eggs and what goes on day to day. Every day we do chores, gather eggs and make feed. On our farm we plant the crops and harvest them to feed the chickens, also we start our laying hens from day old chicks and raise them to be the best birds they can be to give you a grade A quality egg. After we are finished looking after our chickens, anything could happen from washing, waxing, fixing, welding, working on engines, working on classic cars, and more. I hope everyone enjoys cheers.

So since Covid, we have not had a way to produce any vaccines in Canada until now….. Valo has reached out to us to start start the process .
