You have linked old news. I understand, because non-postmedia papers don't write about things that may negatively impact the social economic narrative, that some people will not have access to such information.

This is what triggered the most recent rise of frustration and brought on recent statements by several provinces and farmers associations.

This includes improved data sharing, results reporting, and a commitment to contribute to common, measurable outcomes, over the lifespan of the Framework, in particular contributing to:

3-5 MT reduction in Greenhouse Gas emissions

“Provinces pushed the federal government to discuss this important topic, but were disappointed to learn that the target is already set,” a July 22 joint statement from Alberta and Saskatchewan says. “The commitment to future consultations are only to determine how to meet the target that Prime Minister Trudeau and Minister Bibeau have already unilaterally imposed on this industry, not to consult on what is achievable or attainable.

Cannot call it a consultation phase when there is no consulting occurring and the federal government just set a funding deal directly linked to their 30% fertilizer emission reduction target.

But hey, I hear Poilievre just got backing from Harper, now that is scary indeed and worth reporting by those non-Postmedia news sources! https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/har...ship-1.6534017
