appointed by the Trudeau government as one of the country’s few comparative advantages.
The industry is too conservative about how it thinks about itself and communicates to policymakers and the Canadian public. Its demand for afrom the federal carbon tax in part reflects a collective lack of self-awareness of the industry’s size and power in the economy. Canadian agriculture doesn’t require special dispensation as if it’s some sort of struggling industry. It’s a global powerhouse and it should act like one.
This kind of parochialism is part of a broader problem in Canada. We don’t elevate winners. We celebrate smallness. We aren’t ruthless about achieving global advantage. We’re too satisfied with being mid-sized fishes in a small pond. Our small conception of ourselves is a major impediment to competing and winning in the global economy.
Great article about our Canadian Farmers. Explains why we’re one of the Best in the World Thx Farmers...😉❤️
