As in any war, there are innocent casualties. Actions to correct flagrant and long-standing abuses are long overdue and the view from high above the shock and awe bombing is gratifying. However, on the ground it looks a lot different to many who were just living their lives and following the rules as best they could.
This message came in on an agricultural list that I read.
" As a now retired USDA employee, and seeing reports from both the news and former colleagues, what I understand is happening with some of the conservation programs and essentially all of the employees within their probationary period is:
" Payments to individual farmers for work completed under conservation contracts that were funded under Biden's Inflation Reduction Act, such as EQIP, have been "paused." The explanation was this is to allow the new Secretary of Agriculture time to review the contracts and decide if they are acceptable or not. I don't know the basis for USDA deciding that a contract it signed with an individual farmer is not valid, if the farmer or rancher did what they agreed to do in the contract. In the meantime farmers have outstanding bills to pay for work done, or don't know if they should go ahead and start work they promised to do, which by the way failure to complete work they agreed to do is itself a contract violation.
" Apparently ALL employees still within their probationary period (one year for my old agency) have been given termination notices for reason of "poor performance." That's important because even if within the probationary period, there is supposed to be a reason for the termination, not just because the agency feels like it. Some people have posted regulatory references about this, though i haven't read them. It seems to be happening at all departments of the government.

OPEN LETTER: To the Prime Minister of the "New World Order"
TO: The Right Honourable Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada
FROM: Jennifer Elizabeth Telfer
I. The Banker in the PMO
You have famously stated on camera, "I'm a banker, not a career politician." That much is evident. Your leadership has treated Canada not as a sovereign nation of citizens, but as a balance sheet to be "optimized" for global investors. You are a technician for a vision that seeks to dismantle national independence in favor of the "variable geometry" of global power you promoted at Davos 2026.
II. The Death of the Trades & The "Build Canada" Scam
As someone who has worked in the trades for over 15 years, I see the "holes" in your Build Communities Strong Fund. You talk about "supercharging" homebuilding, but your policies are crushing the people who actually do the work:
The Productivity Trap: You demand 500,000 homes a year while your "hidden" fuel taxes and inflation make it impossible for ...
