Lots of farmers dislike the Liberal government, but Terry Duguid knows a lot about Prairies ag. He and Jim Carr were good voices to have within the Lib caucus when there were few there who understood much about farming in this half of the country.
A look back at the year for us at @reutersinstitute.bsky.social through our research, writing and projects. Incredibly proud (and slightly amazed) at the sheer span of our work - both on journalism's many aspects, and the richness of international voices. #journalism
Having fun with my new canola screen
Could there be something dodgy in their part of the research they don’t want you to realize? I’ve seen that in journalism. Faked sources
Winnipeg weather report: Intense cycling!
Annnnnd there's the top:
Are you a Western Canadian cattle producer who’s reduced your herd or put off restocking because of the ongoing drought? If so, would like to talk to you
What final production number for canola do you expect StatsCan to come out with tomorrow? Give me your guesses
Intense dog!
Addiction is not a result of poor choices; it is often the result of untreated trauma and using substances is an effort to distract from the pain that's living within.

Even if you think that Trump shouldn’t be taken seriously or literally (and he probably shouldn’t be), the reality is that the currencies of US trading partners will trade at a discount until the policy-by-tweet era draws to a close again. Which will only widen US deficits.
What do you farmers think of Trump’s new threat to impose 25% tariffs on Canadian products? Threat made tonight

Feels like winter here, but it’s bright white and brutally cold
Ag Min Lawrence MacAulay opening Agribition
Who’s responsible for this?!?!
So similar to the economics of WW1. And most attritional wars. Who runs out of gas and stalls first? (Both of econ and human resources - and will) threadreaderapp.com/thread/18604...
What kind of time is midnight to start a Grand Prix?!?! Gonna have to take a nap first so I can stay up for the race
Most of the connections I have found here are centre-left, migrating from Twitter, while my feed is getting more rightie due to their absence. I haven’t tried any markets/econ humour here yet
