“ BE IT RESOLVED that SARM will ensure that any policies that unduly target naturally occurring CO2 will be deemed as illogical and dangerous. We move that Saskatchewan remove itself from any national or international agreements that reference net zero.”

We're trying to resurrect the Keystone XL pipeline and cutting agricultural research is a "necessary evil?"@JEmphatically@mstdn.ca And the cutbacks put innovation in the hand of the largely foreign owned highly integrated multinationals that own much of Agriculture. This is only going to cause more severe food inflation and less economic security in Agriculture
Will it be more damaging than Harper undemocraticly closing the wheat pool?

We're trying to resurrect the Keystone XL pipeline and cutting agricultural research is a "necessary evil?"@JEmphatically@mstdn.ca Is this just a short term cynical political calculation? Liberals get little support in Prairies? Why put federal dollars into programs that don’t translate into immediate political support?

We're trying to resurrect the Keystone XL pipeline and cutting agricultural research is a "necessary evil?"@JEmphatically@mstdn.ca Lets burn $500 million to save 5? This is what’s being done.
What’s being abandoned, how much has been invested. No answers -
We're trying to resurrect the Keystone XL pipeline and cutting agricultural research is a "necessary evil?"@JEmphatically@mstdn.ca The issue is the cutbacks don’t just postpone and pause research, it abandons decades of work, long established programs with immense value that will never be regained. Agriculture is one of Canada’s super powers, but I guess we can only have one that serves its foreign owners.
