Loading ...CANADA – EXCLUSIVE: Feds knew fertilizer targets would harm Canadian farm crop production (ie: destruction of the world food supply)
The federal government was aware that fertilizer emission targets introduced by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in 2020 would unfairly target western Canada by harming farm yields, but went ahead with the policy anyway.
Considering the fact that western provinces account for over 90% of Canada’s canola, spring wheat and barley crops, any slight reduction could upend exports and food supply at a national level.
Documents acquired by True North through an access to information request show how a web of unachievable expectations are being placed upon the backs of Albertan and Prairie farmers.
“So this is the thing. Absolute reduction means that invariably there’ll be an absolute reduction in the yield,” “Reduction in nitrogen means that western Canadian production will be going down exactly when the world needs us to increase production and we need to do it with the same land footprint and we need to do it by applying technology.”
