Activist: "Your cows are putting carbon into the atmosphere."
Farmer: "Where did they get it?"
Activist: "What?"
Farmer: "The carbon. Where did the cow get it before it put it anywhere."
Activist: "From... eating?"
Farmer: "From eating grass. And where did the grass get it."
Activist: "The soil?"
Farmer: "The air. The grass pulled it out of the air last spring. The cow ate the grass. The cow breathed some of it back out. It went back into the air it came from."
Activist: "But it's still going into the atmosphere."
Farmer: "It's going back. There's a difference between a thing going somewhere and a thing going back. You've described a circle and you're frightened of it."
Activist: "Then just don't have the cow."
Farmer: "The grass still dies in autumn. It rots where it falls. The carbon goes back into the air either way, just without anyone getting fed in the middle."
Activist: "It's not that simple."
Farmer: "It's grass, cow, breath, grass. Or it's grass, rot, air, grass. Same circle, fewer dinners. If that's complicated for you I'd stay away from the water cycle. That one's got clouds in it."
Lost a close friend “Higgy” Ken Higgins end of last week, way to soon. Played ball, hockey, fire department, our families camped together. A great memory pic of team penning. Solid guy, always there for everyone. 💔
Here's another way to look at Canada's trade imbalance.
We didn't gain any new markets (dark blue), but we lost half our trade with the U.S.A.
Way to go CArney...way to go.
Total exports declined 12.8% in the second quarter. Exports of energy products (-19.5%), motor vehicles and parts (-16.6%) and consumer goods (-16.6%) were the largest contributors to the decline in the second quarter.

Oh, how the mighty Liberal flip-flop has landed with a bang in Canada! Just a few months ago, these idiots were strutting around like carbon tax peacocks, proudly flaunting their eco-virtue feathers while the rest of us grumbled about gas prices. “It’s for the planet! ” they chirped, sipping their $8 almond milk lattes from Starbucks.
But now, with the political winds shifting faster than Calgary chinook, they’re suddenly doing a clumsy two-step away from their sacred policies. “Carbon tax? Oh, that's old news. We don't really need it. ” kicking it under the rug like a cat hiding a hairball.
And in a twist that’s now equal parts hilarious and shameless, they’ve started parroting Conservative talking points.... tough-on-crime, fiscal restraint, maybe even a pipeline or two...hoping we won’t notice the blue tie peeking out from their red-branded Gucci jackets.
It’s like watching a vegan get caught sneaking poutine at midnight: the hypocrisy’s rich, and the gravy’s dripping from their faces.
