Comment: Right to repair still an issue

This fight between farmers and machinery giants is just getting started

By
Before a January “memorandum of understanding,” or MOU, on a farmer’s “right to repair” his farm machinery, U.S. equipment makers and their farm and ranch customers were locked in a legal and legislative fight over who could fix today’s complex ag machinery – the customer who owned or leased it, or the maker that designed,

Comment: Sleep driving

Should tired drivers be treated like drunk drivers?

Survey shows Canadians are keenly aware of what’s driving grocery prices higher

Comment: Canada needs to synchronize its climate policies

Lack of cohesive approach is undermining the push for emission control

National, provincial and territorial governments across Canada have implemented myriad policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in recent years. However, these stubbornly high emissions have only just started showing signs of falling. In principle, each level of government is working toward the same goal.

Reuters – La Nina has officially fizzled after a near three-year stand, setting the stage for El Nino’s possible entrance later this year.

Comment: Grocery rebate a misguided budget perk

A better plan would be to task AAFC to develop a program similar to the U.S. SNAP program

By
The recent federal budget had more leaks than the Titanic. There were so many leaks ahead of its release on March 28 that most of us already knew what was in it beforehand. Many years ago, ministers of finance would be asked to resign if the secrecy of the budget was breached. These are different
