LILLEY: Dutch farmers protest sparked by policy Trudeau wants for Canada
Farmers in the Netherlands have been blocking roads, supermarkets and food distribution centers for the past week due to a policy similar to what we may soon see in Canada, Brian Lilley reported.
Dutch farmers are protesting rules that, yes, will help cut greenhouse gas emissions, but could cost them money, or even their farms.
Canada’s agricultural industry has been trying to tell the Trudeau government that they are willing to do their part to reduce emissions, but should pursue a reduction in emissions intensity rather than a hard cap on emissions, to no avail. .
The feds want a full cut, so don’t be surprised if the next protest we see in Canada will involve tractors and farmers instead of trucks and truckers.
