in Featured World News Justin Trudeau Decides to Walk Down the Same Failed Green Path as Sri Lanka

Canada is one of the world’s largest exporters of wheat, providing 11.9% of the global supply. In 2021 the top five grain exporters were Russia, the United States, Australia, Canada, and Ukraine. Two of those nations are at war with each other, and that conflict is threatening production. Drought conditions also threaten the winter wheat crop in the United States, increasing reliance on Canada for production. However, it appears that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has decided everyone can go gluten-free.
In a move that proves that Canada’s version of the vacuous hairdo can’t learn from others, Trudeau’s government is moving ahead by limiting fertilizer use. According to The Counter Signal:
The Trudeau government unveiled their new climate plan, with a focus on reducing nitrous oxide emissions from fertilizer by 30% below 2020 levels by 2030. That plan is now coming into effect — though the government refuses to acknowledge that nitrous oxide emissions can be reduced without drastically reducing fertilizer use and thus crop production.
According to Fertilizer Canada, Trudeau’s government calls for absolute emissions reductions rather than an emissions intensity reduction. This type of regulation puts a cap on total emissions allowable from fertilizer. The yield of Canadian crops is directly linked to proper fertilizer application. Calling for an absolute reduction will create a ceiling on Canadian agricultural productivity well below 2020 levels, which could be catastrophic in the current global environment.
