BREAKING: The CEO of Farm Credit Canada billed $182,297 in expenses last year—nearly 4 times more than her predecessor, according Blacklock's Reporter.
Records obtained through Access to Information show:
➡️Business-class flights to Europe and Asia
➡️Luxury hotels
➡️Filet Mignon dinners
➡️A $543 Uber from Edmonton to Calgary
Meanwhile, employees were told to "tighten the belt" and reduce travel expenses. Over her first three years as CEO, expenses reportedly exceeded $422,700.
The optics will raise serious questions about accountability at one of Canada's most important Crown corporations serving agriculture.

Abu from Brampton totally smoked my neighbor yesterday.
Zero attempt to slow down
Luckily he was pulling a baler and it took the brunt of the impact.
I’m certain he would have been killed if not for the baler.
Hazards lights were on the tractor and baler.

Carney and Eby are now blaming each other for their condo bailout.
The bottom line is that the Liberals and the NDP inflated a housing bubble. The bubble has burst. Now they are forcing taxpayers, who can’t afford homes and food, to bail out their developer donors.

Canada is back at the top of the G7 food inflation rankings.
Food prices rose 3.8% in May, outpacing every other G7 country. While inflation has eased in much of the G7, Canadian households continue to face persistent pressure at the grocery store.
At what point will media outlets start interviewing experts who actually understand what's happening in food markets, instead of repeatedly assuring Canadians that food price increases are "temporary"?
The disconnect between official narratives and what Canadians experience at checkout remains hard to ignore.

The $3.2 billion food security announcement was made four days ago.
Has any reporter asked the Prime Minister or the Agriculture Minister where that money will come from?
If someone did, I missed it...
Repeal every one and replace with Canadian Immigration Month. Leave it to communities, cities or provinces to determine what and when to celebrate based on their history, cultural makeup and demographics. Federally, celebrate Canada Day and be done with it.
According to Canada’s Food Price Report 2026, a family of four is projected to spend $17,572 on food this year.
The Prime Minister’s Office might want to include a few people who can actually do food math before making affordability announcements.
Western Canada Seeding progress is lagging behind historic seeding in a big way. It will be the middle of June before NE Sask gets done.
It is going to be a very interesting year.
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."
Seeding season ProTip. Put a tarp strap around your auger, just up from the hopper, so that rain doesn't run into the hopper. A nice drip edge!
