Canada

This is something I find weird about how farming works in the UK. The notion that it should be profitable is nuts to me. Food is so ridiculously important - surely we should be putting money in to get food out. The food is the profit!

Canada also needs stronger Right to Repair laws.

Our fighter jets aren’t the only vehicles with DRM controlled by a US company.

Please buy canola. Everyone needs 43 tons of canola in their backyard.

Thanks

This conversation already came up during the pandemic. It's super clear why countries should have some level of ability to produce essentials for its people.

It was also the time when conservatives started to doubled down on pretending to be libertarians and told their supporters the mega corps will take care of everything as long as we give them enough power.

Absolutely it should. We grow a lot of our own and sell small amounts but even supplies to do so are being limited somewhat because many products come from US manufacturers. Massive scale farms will be severely affected by this with everything from tractors to seed. Increasing farms and reclaiming farmland from foreign ownership will also be necessary. Diversifying crops and animal rotations. Learning new ways that are more in line with environmental concerns and that will consume less energy and consumables. So many things to tackle and the perfect opportunity to do so.

Every country should. The problem is this runs straight against the neoliberal economic model. I hope neolibralism gets taken down a few notches. Ideally buried altogether.

Plants are food. Animal products are harmful luxury goods that consume many times more calories and nutrients than they produce.
