Got Food? You won't for long, if this food production problem isn't solved quickly. While the mainstream media propaganda tool continues to cause fear and hysteria among people, the impacts on society, economy, and food production are increasingly being felt. I have a simple message for ALL citizens, as well as from other NATIONS - for people who are employed or unemployed:
Starting immediately, we need more people working on farms and in agriculture, supporting our farmers, or else we will face dire consequences in later months, as food supplies dwindle. We also need truck drivers. What good will your professional job be if you can't buy food, due to lack of food? But the good news is, instead of hoarding, we can help grow food on farms and have it delivered, if we all work together. Spread this message far and wide.
We must find a way to produce or preserve food in order to serve us during the winter months also. This will become ever more important, especially as food imports become limited in the months to come. According to Statistics Canada, the United States is the source of more than half (57%) of imported food, and similarly 55% of domestic food exports from Canada are directed to the United States. Furthermore, what happens when our international trade becomes severely affected, and how will that affect our food imports?
Not only this, but truck drivers are also facing new challenges, while delivering food and essentials, due to media-sparked coronavirus panic. Canada could experience a shortage of 25,000 to 33,000 for-hire truck drivers by 2020, disrupting not only the trucking industry but the Canadian economy and ultimately affecting the well-being of consumers as well. In other words, good luck getting food into your grocery stores if people don't step up and help. We are also seeing new demand for some food and consumer goods surging 500% as Canadians over-hoard. There are numerous other factors directly and indirectly affecting our ability to produce and distribute food in Canada. Instead of hoarding, we need to work in the farms and help Canada to become self-sufficient, while producing our own food.
Forget the money the government is offering you. When there is no food left, how will you buy anything with that useless money? Do you want to live in a country with food shortages? Do you want increased crimes and theft, and all the other things that come along with food supply problems? Do you see how direly important this matter is? Is anyone else wondering how these worldwide plandemic COVID19 enforced laws are affecting OUR food production and farmers abilities to grow food? Dairy farmers in neighboring U.S. have been receiving letters from authorities, encouraging them to quit dairy farming, and as a result offering them compensation (see letter at the end).
The problem with stimulus packages and COVID-19 emergency bailouts, like those seen in the United States, is that they are encouraging many farmers to quit farming or halt food production:
The stimulus package includes no caps on payments, no requirements to demonstrate that market losses are tied to coronavirus, and no guardrails to ensure money does not further enrich the top one percent of farmers like the China trade bailout did. An analysis from Environmental Working Group found that the top one percent of trade aid recipients received US$183,331 on average, with one farm receiving $2.8 million, while the bottom 80 percent received less than US$5,000 on average. (Food Tank)
More aid should go toward regional food systems, healthy food, and family-scale farmers and ranchers. Future stimulus bills must better support farmers, food workers and farm workers who need it most. Basically, the rich corporate farms get richer, while the other small guys get kicked out - sounds like a power grab for controlling the food supply, especially for companies tied to GM foods.
What is the solution? Well, firstly, we need to stop relying on our government for everything, and find the solutions to fix these problems. Let's work in the farms and get our hands dirty! Even if you are a working professional, you can contribute to food production, getting it from our farms onto our tables. In fact, every person can contribute and make a difference. Better yet, if someone takes the first step to work on a farm or drive a large truck, and we put out videos to encourage others to do the same, this new trend of FARM WORK and FOOD DELIVERY could go VIRAL. What do you have to lose, except make a little extra cash? If you knew how important this was for our survival and well-being, you would do it voluntarily. Once people are on board, we will then need to bring awareness through YouTube, films, media, Facebook groups, and anything else that will encourage people to get off their unemployed buts. Not only will you be helping our country to avoid food shortages, but also improving your fitness and health, while connecting with nature.
Meanwhile, some legislation (Bill 15 and 52) that was passed in British Columbia (and maybe other provinces) during 2019 has made it harder for family farmers to work and live on their farms. We sure hope that this was not intentional, leading up to 2020, putting obstacles in the path of our food growers. We must support farmers and revoke these baseless laws that make it difficult for them to live and provide food for us.
Politicians, MPs, lawmakers, and police force should all be on board too, supporting citizens to produce, distribute and safe guard our food supply. The police force are meant to serve the people, not just the law. Nevertheless, if a law is causing more harm than good, should an officer not use common sense? Would you want to enforce a man-made law that was harming society?

Now, the moment of truth. Take a look at a few headlines below - this is happening WORLDWIDE - and then ask yourself, what will WE do to fix this ...
Canada’s food supply at risk as pandemic tightens borders to farm workers ...
The coronavirus pandemic is making it difficult for farmers to bring in temporary workers to plant crops on time, a problem that threatens Canada’s food supply ... Time is of the essence. Spring is here – seeds need to be planted, orchard trees pruned and thinned, fields prepped for the season, equipment fixed and irrigation systems set up. Each year, tens of thousands of workers do the jobs many Canadians have traditionally avoided. Though legally allowed to enter Canada, the majority have not yet arrived [due to worldwide travel restrictions]. Without labour soon, yields could fall, affecting Canada’s food supply. (Globe and Mail)
Yes, you heard that right fellow Canadians ... food supply could fall short if we don't act now - in other words, WE, the people, need to be working on farms right now. It doesn't matter if you are a working professional - we have to bite our egos and swallow our pride. We all need these farmers, and your food and survival depends on their ability to produce food. We have been relying too much on foreign workers to get the job done, and this is that crucial time when we have to get the work done ourselves ... time is ticking ... this is the future of our food as we know it. Who is willing to help?
Coronavirus: Why Canada dairy farmers are dumping milk

Ontario beef farmers losing $2M a week, COVID-19 could make it worse ...

Johnson says the combination of the ongoing and current crises could spell the end for many more Ontario beef producers.
Farmers demand B.C. government reverse rule changes:
Angry farmers rallied at the B.C. legislature Monday to demand the government reverse changes to farm rules that they say have limited their ability to work and live on their land ... In particular, McPherson said two laws by Popham, Bills 15 and 52, have blindsided farmers by no longer allowing them to build secondary homes on their land without cumbersome applications, hindering their ability to have children live on the property and help work the land as the next generation of farmers. (Vancouver Sun)
The next thing we need to do is break free of the media and propaganda, while remaining diligent and safe. Turn off your television. What we see on the media is clearly not a reflection of reality. While you watch the videos below, think how this has all affected society, economies, and food production. I strongly recommend people to subscribe and watch alternative journalism from PressForTruth , Spiro Skouras, and Corbett Report, just to name a few. Their videos can awaken the masses.
And last but not least, we would appreciate your feedback and helpful suggestions, or innovative ideas for solutions to these problems. How do you think we can work together as a nationwide community to help solve the problems of food production and delivery?
