There isn't as much barley grown here as there use to be. It was mostly fed to hogs if it didn't make malting quality. But vertical integration blew up that industry .Between that and earlier maturing corn there is less barley.

Too much ice, not enough rice. lol Yes even in out heyday when wheat was king in the west we weren't a huge producer. What we did produce was a very high quality wheat that other countries could blend with theirs to produce a better flour We were at one time ( Manitoba in particular ) big market share holders of flax and buckwheat .Less so now. Lots of corn, soybeans, potatoes , oats and canola now.Still lots of wheat but not like it was.

My son in-law is/ was an American living now as a resident in Canada and will never return. His brother lives in Asia and will never return. Their Democratic voting parents had retired and moved from Oregon to Arizona. They have now sold their dream retirement property and have moved to Mexico because of the insanity in Arizona.

Add this to your list of worrisome trends for the future world. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/sep/22/small-number-of-huge-companies-dominate-global-food-chain-study-finds

" Relocation " Does that remind anyone else of the early days of the holocaust ?

People are just pawns in their games. Or perhaps toys in their games. It's utterly disgusting.

I read an article that said when she was " required " to meet him she purposefully wore a broach given to her by the Obamas. Subtle , but a statement none the less.

Marsha Hunt passed away. She was an active actress for 80 years. She was the last living member of a group including Bogart and Bacall that had traveled to Washington to fight the communist witch hunts of the 50s. Unlike many she refused to back down and was blackballed from movies and television for many years. https://www.theguardian.com/film/2022/sep/11/marsha-hunt-obituary

Sounds like the entire campaign is teetering on collapse: The military command of the Russian federation has stopped sending new units into Ukraine following a dramatic Ukrainian counter-offensive that has reshaped the war and left Moscow reeling, the general staff of the armed forces of Ukraine said Monday. “The military command of the Russian federation has suspended the sending of new, already formed units into the territory of Ukraine,” officials said on the general staff Facebook page. “The current situation in the theatre of operations and distrust of the higher command forced a large number of volunteers to categorically refuse the prospect of service in combat conditions,” the statement continued. “The situation is affected by information about the actual number of dead, while losses from private military companies and those mobilised from temporarily occupied territories are not taken into account. The situation worsens due to the general attitude toward their own wounded. In particular, in Russian hospitals, diagnoses and the nature of combat injuries are deliberately simplified and no time is given for rehabilitation in order to quickly return servicemen to the combat zone.” This information could not be corroborated. The Kremlin has yet to respond.

A good video by Al Jazeera . Some of it is pretty obvious but it's interesting none the less.

It wouldn't be a big leap since they are off alot of the bills already

So if there is someone I don't like , say the owner of a large multi national Corp, I should head to their funeral and crack jokes and mock them ? No , I wouldn't because it's insulting for mourners. The world needs alot more courtesy not more Maga style insults and mocking. It will be interesting to see where he takes it. He certainly will be a supporter fighting climate change and of the Green movement in general . But walking in her shoes is a tall order.

You don't get what I was saying. I'm talking about your rude treatment of other people. Not your opinion of the monarchy. I expected more of you.

Someone just died that millions of people care about . You can be as anti monarch as you want but the thoughtful and kind thing to do would be to leave them to mourn in there own way . Making jokes Iwithin hours IS thoughtless and ignorant towards them regardless of your own opinion.

PM Trudeau made a pretty good statement / comment.He did a good job of encapsulating what she was all about.

More ignorant and thoughtless in my. opinion

Tracker said "Donald Trump lost the 2020 election, and that loss bothers him every single day of his life. It follows him around during his every waking moment. Trump’s life and legacy are defined by the fact that he lost on the biggest election stage in the entire world " Lol, that's my happy thought for the day.

It's a beautiful thing.

How is that not flagged !

Woo Hoo!

Legs ! Hammers it !
