Mmm yes I have seen his sort before, good advise for dummies. I have hear alot of economic professors. Like the one who told the farmers to invest in Swiz bonds, then the market crashed, or the one who told very farmer get big or get out, told every farmer to start buying land, then the interest rate hit the roof, and one who said, seek outside investment, from investment companies and found their land sold under them. And their advice recommended and supported by government, banks and finance instutions. Don't get me wrong he might be a good guy. As for credit cards I had to lived in a one room house, on credit card, my pay didn't cover my living expences eg car, morage, utilities and food. That was a government job too. I thought I could live the dream of owning my own house and did my homework, did count on 20% risers in living expences in five years. Its too easy to slip into debt of your own choosing by bad mistakes, but its easer to do with the help from government. A perfect example the priminster of Australia just before the recession telling people with a morage to go into a fix interest 4 year rate for agreement of 8%. Most morages $400,000. Two weeks later the variable is 2% currently 6%. You don't have to be an economist to work out how Australia survied the recession, not by the money it made by its exports to China which they sold for next to nothing, 15cents a ton of coal.

Hursh: A downward shift in fertilizer prices

War in the Middle East and the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz contributed to a rapid rise in nitrogen fertilizer values, but prices have dropped dramatically in recent weeks. Some analysts were worried that the normal price reset after spring seeding would not occur this year, but a price drop has happened quickly: There have been reports of international prices for urea, 46-0-0 moving lower, but what matters to farmers is the price locally. Up until a few weeks ago, the price of urea at farm input suppliers in Western Canada was around $1,250 a tonne. According to the Alberta Farm Input Price Survey, the lowest urea price of the past five years was just over $600 a tonne back in July of 2021. However, by April of 2022, world events had pushed urea prices to $1,350 a tonne. While prices this spring were not quite that high, they were onerous as compared to the price of grain. So where are prices right now? What would you need to pay for urea for summer or fall delivery? You cou

Two Nunavut communities strengthen access to traditional foods with new processing facilities

The Government of Canada is investing over $4.7 million on two community-led traditional food processing facilities that will help Gjoa Haven and Taloyoak residents access more local foods and strengthen food sovereignty in the region. The Government of Canada is taking action to address local food accessibility and high prices in Nunavut. That means advancing reconciliation with Inuit by investing in food systems to strengthen community infrastructure, reduce dependance on imported foods, and lower costs for Nunavummiut. Today, the Honourable Rebecca Chartrand, Minister of Northern and Arctic Affairs and Minister responsible for CanNor, announced a federal contribution of more than $4.7 million to create country food processing facilities in Gjoa Haven and Taloyoak. This includes $3,389,736 in funding from CanNor, $831,550 from Fisheries and Oceans Canada and $566,038 from Crown-Indigenous Relations and Indigenous Services Canada.
