Codex Alimentarious and Nuticide

I just watch on youtube a lecture from a Dr Laidlore it helps fill in all the gaps in relation to current Canadian changes in requirements to standards in food production.  I suggest you watch it, because you an't seen nothing yet, to come, in regards to your farm practices and production. The best cons are carried out with your compliance.

In the video it shows a food CoOp been raided by the police with gun drawn. But this can't happen in Canada, remember the Armish farmer selling milk.

While you were busy shopping for your Chistmas gifts, your neighbour south of the border signied off on the food safety act on the 22 December 2010. You now work for the UN. Any produce to be exported to the USA is now subjected to their food safety laws. What does it mean for Canada well, extra costs for inspections, farm inspections, and fees for a start.  As they say the USA gets a snease the rest of us gets the cold.

I think it is something we all should spending more time evaluating.

 

Bill S.510.Section 305 is entitled "BUILDING CAPACITY OF FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS WITH RESPECT TO FOOD SAFETY" and it gives the FDA authority to set up offices in foreign countries and then dictate the food safety plans of foreign governments.

SEC. 308. FOREIGN OFFICES OF THE FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION.
(a) IN GENERAL. - The Secretary shall establish offices of the FDA in foreign countries selected by the Secretary.

It then goes on to say:

(a) The Secretary shall, not later than 2 years of the date of enactment of this Act, develop a comprehensive plan to expand the technical, scientific, and regulatory food safety  capacity of foreign governments, and their respective food industries, from which foods are exported to the United States.
Sec. 305 includes;
(c) Plan - The plan developed under subsection (a) shall include, as appropriate, the following:

  •  Provisions for secure electronic data sharing.  
  • Training of foreign governments and food producers on United States requirements for safe food.

Well its too late now, its US law. If any country refuses to go by the rules they are fined or their product is refused to be allow in the country. You go to the border with your produces in a truck you get inspected you pay for the inspection, the produce is not allowed in because it is'nt on the list of approve foods. Then you are fined for trying to import prohibed substances. This is not lets talk about it, this end of days stuff, 1984. Free trade agreement, my foot. Japan when to war over this sort of thing. This is not only Canada's problem it affects Australia, NZ, South America, Mexico everyone. This is the nail in the coffin for all small to medium farms. The general public at large. Has Canada seen trees with their fuit rotting on them because they are not the right varitey or gene, or a truck loads of milk tipped in fields because the cows weren't injected by the right antibiotic, or meat works closed as now because the animal is not carrying a certain gene. This NWO they control the vertical and the horzontal, you control nothing. It as been said so many times a country that can't feed itself is doomed.

US Producer Sentiment Slips in December

U.S. producer sentiment declined slightly in December as concerns about tariffs and American export competitiveness weighed on farmers’ outlooks, according to the latest Purdue University–CME Group Ag Economy Barometer survey released Tuesday. The overall Ag Economy Barometer Index slipped three points from November to 136, reflecting a modest pullback in confidence after a stronger fall period. The decline was driven largely by softer long-term expectations. The Future Expectations Index fell four points to 140, while the Current Conditions Index held steady at 128, suggesting farmers’ views of present-day conditions remain relatively stable even as uncertainty clouds the outlook ahead. Export competitiveness emerged as a key pressure point, particularly for soybeans. While farmers expressed broad optimism about U.S. agricultural exports in general - only 5% of respondents said they expect exports to decline over the next five years — the tone shifted when the focus narrowed to so

Federal Biofuel Production Incentive Now in Effect

The federal government’s Biofuels Production Incentive is now in effect, marking a shift from policy announcement to on-the-ground support for Canada’s domestic renewable fuel sector as it grapples with intensifying trade pressures and global competition. Announced by Prime Minister Mark Carney on Sept. 5, 2025, the incentive officially took effect Jan. 1 and is designed to stabilize and protect Canadian biofuel production capacity. The program will provide more than $370 million over two years, offering per-litre support to Canadian producers of biodiesel and renewable diesel from January 2026 through December 2027. Facilities will be eligible for support on up to 300 million litres of production each. Industry groups say the measure is an important, if incomplete, step. Fred Ghatala, president of Advanced Biofuels Canada Association, said the incentive helps counter the disadvantage Canadian producers have faced since the introduction of the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act and its C

Producer Research and Evaluation Project

Funding is available for on-farm research that helps producers evaluate the feasibility and impact of new production practices, technologies, or products under real farm conditions. This opportunity is designed to help producers generate meaningful, farm-specific data to support informed decision-making and advance profitability, competitiveness, and sustainability. Funding of up to $20,000 per project is available to support on-farm research that evaluates whether a production practice change is feasible on-farm. The goal is to help producers gather sufficient data to make informed decisions and understand how to further adapt a production practice. In most cases, producers are expected to be working with third-party service providers to support project trial design, delivery, and analysis. Proposals must include a sound project design and testing approach that supports the evaluation of whether the production practice results in a positive return on investment and is a favourable
