All Their Stupid Ideas Can be Reversed and We Will Make the Deserts Bloom
We will restore the very ground of our being
One has to pause and pay a little grief tribute to the fiendish and death-dealing turn of the environmental movement. Ireland’s dictate to kill 200,000 cows over the next three years being an excellent example. The functionaries of the movement have ranged through the earth destroying one rural economy after another, turning one forest or range to wildfire and invasive weed. In sharp contrast, soil restoration will not only bring back a healthy bio-system, turn food into its once nutritious self, restore rural life and ground water. Individual farmers and ranchers, not bureaucrats with failed ideas that are fifty years old and require bullying and gun-toting BLM rangers.
This is how broken the earth is: denuded, poisoned, and packed tight by industrial agriculture, rainwater streams off to the sea, and tons of fertilizer must be added every year. Farmers must till deeper and deeper to find live earth to plant. In contrast, restoration means no weeding, no fertilizer, just the hooves of cattle and sheep that break the crust, and over years, with their manure, restore a lost community of arthropods beneath us.

On FB very well said…..
I had a conversation in person recently that pretty much sums up the Canadian political divide right now. Not the cartoon version from the news... the quiet, everyday one we've all had with friends, or family.
It started predictably of course. The usual labels tossed out like confetti (xenophobic, homophobic, transphobic, bigot, Maple Maga). Because apparently if you question a policy, you must secretly hate the group it’s supposed to help.
And this little exchange laid it out for me.
For a lot of modern liberals, politics seems to be less about what actually happens and more about looking compassionate. Slap the right moral sticker on a policy "help the marginalized! Expand programs! Signal virtue!" and you're golden.
Ask whether it works in practice? Ahhh... suddenly you’re the bad guy with a heart of stone.
Their world is simple... you’re either “for people” or “against people.” Intentions are everything and results are optional.
In that framework, a policy ...
Copy it, read it & send to the federal government!

Carney got his hands on the CPP somehow !
The Canada Pension Plan Investments Board (CPPIB) and Brookfield on Tuesday launched a $50 billion “Maple Fund” that they say will funnel capital towards critical infrastructure and strategic industries across Canada.
The announcement from the CPPIB, which manages the investments in the Canada Pension Plan, and investment management firm Brookfield was one of the main funding projects that came out from a recent two-day investment summit hosted by Carney and the premiers.
With the Canada Pension Plan playing a central role in many Canadians’ retirement planning, many may be wondering what this decision means for their retirements.
What is the Maple Fund?
The Maple Fund will operate as an investing framework to provide funding for specific projects, and will include up to $25 billion each from the CPPIB and Brookfield over a five-year timespan.
The fund is focused on complex large-scale projects that each require significant upfront resources and development capabilities, and a ...
