Much like in the Netherlands, Justin Trudeau is bringing in a nitrogen emissions cap that will absolutely decimate Canadian farming.

In December 2020, the Trudeau government unveiled their new climate plan, with a focus on reducing nitrous oxide emissions from fertilizer by 30% below 2020 levels by 2030.


“Fertilizers play a major role in the agriculture sector’s success and have contributed to record harvests in the last decade. They have helped drive increases in Canadian crop yields, grain sales, and exports,” a news release from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada reads.
“However, nitrous oxide emissions, particularly those associated with synthetic nitrogen fertilizer use have also grown significantly. That is why the Government of Canada has set the national fertilizer emissions reduction target, which is part of the commitment to reduce total GHG emissions in Canada by 40-45% by 2030….”

This is a tacit admission that any attempt to lower admissions by reducing nitrogen fertilizer will consequently lower crop yields over the next decade, hurting the Agriculture sector and, more importantly, hurting farmers.

And indeed, according to a report from Fertilizer Canada:

Since Nitrogen makes up about 75% of the Earths atmosphere, what is supposed to be accomplished by reducing synthetic nitrogen in the air?

what most people do not realise is that it was Australia's prime minister Whitlam who introduced China to the world, a year later Nixon and Kissinger opened up China to the world, a seven-day official visit to three Chinese cities was the first time a U.S. president had visited the PRC; Nixon's arrival in Beijing ended 25 years of no communication or diplomatic ties between the two countries and was the key step in normalizing relations between the U.S. and the PRC

China sets Whitlam’s anniversary as target for relationship repair with Albanese

The flurry of co-ordinated activity aimed at wooing Australia is the highest level pitch for engagement since diplomatic ties were frozen in 2020.

Some of those people are used to living on almost no food. America is used to three large squares daily with snacks. The homeless are used to thin rations, but never out of cigarettes at $7 to $11 per pack.
What will entitled americans do when their three squares start getting missed?
I know, washington DC will have the military drop MRE's three times a day until they put a committee together to research where food comes from.
Of course this is 2022 and those kind of things can never happen, at least not to developed countries. There are all kinds of fast food establishments and convenience stores and we can get water any time we want it out of those fee dispensers in parking lots. (Don't think that will help with a toilet.)
Lets not forget that we have cell phone apps that get food delivered right to our door 24/7.
The save amazon prime guaranteed 2 day delivery commercial on TV where they flashed bare store shelves inferring they can get food and other items to us if we only pay them for their Prime. I suppose amazon has worldwide storehouses full of food just waiting to be delivered.
See, the world will never have to grow crops again.

Cigarettes in Australia are from 45 to 75 dollars a packet but people on benefits still seem to be able to afford 5 packs a week. Go figue

When money is "free" it doesn't have the same value as when it is earned.

Hmm. The last time this political triangulation was done was in 2008. IIRC we ended up with Big O and Biden.... How has that turned out? Mr McRino, an anti-Trumper before there was such a thing, was the "leader" on that ticket.

You would think Trudeau would want higher nitrous oxide emissions so as to keep Canadians sedated. A sedated Canadian is less likely to protest his disastrous policies.

The thing with your statement is you put Trudeau and THINK in the same sentence. Trudeau hasn’t thought about anybody but himself his whole life.
How the whole world bred out common sense at the same time, boggles my mind!

If you institute synthetic fertilizer restrictions globally, the planet can no longer support the number of people currently living. 25 to 30 percent would have to go if the restriction was total. This isn’t conjecture, it is a fact.

The argument that we need to use natural fertilizers is insane. All natural fertilizer in the world are currently recycled back into the environment in one form or another. Where else could it possibly go, jettisoned to the moon?

When making growing decisions, you don’t throw away manures on your farm, you use them. However, manure may contain 3% nitrogen, urea contains 44%! All a crop is, is a bunch of small factories (plants) that convert primary nutrients (N-P-K), secondary nutrients (Ca, Mg, S) and micronutrients, into food. Limit any one of these crop inputs and you limit production.

Making political hay out of our ability to feed the earth’s population is completely irresponsible.

Being a North Carolinian of a certain age, I can remember my parents buying cigarettes for $2 a cartoon of 10 packs.

1960's Dad had us kids go up the street to the auto garage to buy cigarettes out of the vending machine for 30 and 35 cents depending on brand and length. I'm sure they were cheaper by the carton. No age restrictions then.
Maybe those prices were before they added stuff to make them more addictive.

I suppose I might live that way if I felt that it made no difference how I spent my last $10.
I spent a couple years on state medical and food stamps. They set the hook and it is hard to get off. Any time I earned a dollar I had to report it. If I reported too many dollars they raised the axe ready to chop me off. Earning enough to help once was enough to get cut and have to reapply. Play the game and ride it is much easier. But that is where you live and it never changes. The food stamps card are not good on an African PG hunt.
