I hear this often but I totally disagree. In my opinion MOST wars aren't started over religion but rather the combatants invoke God on their side once a war has started for other reasons.

Everyone here, myself included assumed the Bombers would easily win the West. As did most fans on every other team. As did the media. And apparently so did the Blue Bomber players. It looked like the idea that they would cruise easily back into the Grey Cup had crept into their mindset. Well they and we just got served a huge slice of humble pie. We've got some stiff competition. There is nothing like a good old ass whooping to open your eyes. They've got some work to do. Let's see how they respond now.

I believe DeSantis is worse. I think he actually believes the crap he spouts and spews. Trump on the other hand had a belief system started and ended himself. Whatever stoked and stroked his ego was what he promoted. The only saving grace with DeSantis is maybe he won't sweep the masses along with him.

So true.

It's ignored alot. Or as I've heard from their very lips, " I don't care I'll pay the fine " . A neighbor of mine lost a long rented half section of land 4 years ago. He was renting it as pasture as it had 4 or 5 separate sloughs on it. All drained. Farmed corner to corner now. I have lots more examples.

Mark F said 40000 acre farm seems not good to me. Hard for me to understand the economics of it. I guess most of it is leased would't you think? Personally I see no redeeming features or any benefits to society to have huge farms. It benefits the owners and that's about it. They can be extremely hard on local economys and local communities in general. Environmentally I find them worse if for no other reason that if they are run in an environmentaly damaging way it effects a larger area. It's very comparable to a small company vs giant corporation situation. I'm not sure if this particular farmer rents/ leases alot or not. It's pretty hard to tell. Edit: I'll add this in . When land/ farms sell around here you end up in most cases with some beautiful yards generally in the 2 to 10 acre range that can be subdivided from the farmland and sold in the $150 to$ 300,000 range. Its really awesome as it seems the acreages are often bought by young people with families which is exactly what is needed to keep small communities alive. Most small to mid range farmers jump at the chance to do this. BUT often the big aggressive farms won't do it. Basically they would rather farm the land square than have a couple of acres out of it. It's crazy but a quarter million dollars means less than having no obstacles to drive around. Lol, when I write it out it sounds like BS but it's true. Another factor would be that don't want non farmer eyes watching what they are doing

And yet millions and millions would still support and vote for the crooked lunatic. Trump is what he always was. What a country.As I've said before Trump is a symptom of a diseased country.

As a small organic farmer I'm a bit torn by this. Kudos to him for going organic but 40,000 acres ? Even by Saskatchewan size that's ridiculous. It's 2 townships . I'd love to know if he is environmentally friendly in other ways ( drainage, tile- draining, land clearing.....) . I have a neighbour right close to me who is moving into organics. He is also one of the group of farmers who remove every tree and drain every wet land and is currently tile draining ( my greatest environmental concern )every acre of his 8,000 acres farm. This article makes no mention of his general treatment of the environment just economic advantages for him.
