Researchers at the University of Guelph published an article on Canada’s current food system if someone is interested. Their proposals are in large parts in line with the government’s plans, but they provide additional background.
Awesome. Now do shelter next and maybe stop flirting with private medical care.
Medical care is provincial.
We should have a federal NHS like UK, but funded better than the UK.
And stop trying to 1984 the internet.
That’s exactly what a pedo-file would say! >:(

Food should be nationalized, like water, health, housing, transportation.
Soylent green and government cheese.
I’d say it depends on the government.
And ANYTHING to do with natural resource harvesting and processing.
We are going to grow more at home, process more at home and feed more Canadians with Canadian food.
So, I take it that the policy to build more urban sprawl on prime farmland is over, right? Just healthy, walkable neighbourhoods with decent density?
No?
B-but the only solution to affordable housing is dumping money into new development that will sell for half a million per unit so it can be bought by a foreign investment corporation and charge 50-70% of a Canadian’s income to rent back!
Why are commenting on provincial policies on a story about the federal government? Learn how governments work before blaming a PM for everything and buying flags for your trucks.
Isn’t land use provincial?
Of course it is, but Canada blames everything on the PM.
Justin Trudeau stole all my furniture last week and replaced it with exact duplicates.
Food access is also provincial. Wasn’t one of the first things Carney was going to do after being elected to help the provinces dismantle their food trade barriers? What ever happened to that? He’s throwing money at the problem now instead of brokering a deal?
Throwing money… infrastructure is absolutely an area government should be involved in. Improving distribution through more wholesale markets is a great idea IMO.
We need more Canadian processing, hopefully geared to mid tier, its currently bifurcated - trash food on one side and sixteen dollar jams on the other. We need more options, and options that are available to more than just the largest players through an anemic supply chain.
Greenhouses, we don’t like those? Ontario is a global leader, let’s keep it going I would love more Canadian produce in the heart of winter.
Provinces that said no before continued to say no.
Well-managed community gardens can grow massive quantities of food. Literal tons per half square block. I’d like to see more of a focus/funding on these sort of urban farms.
I think this is going to have to go the way of edible guerrilla gardening. Capitalism won’t be sharing any land for us to use for that.
I’m optimistic for municipal governments to someday get with this sort of thing. I mean, we’ve done it before: victory gardens during WW1&2
The average seventh grader back then was smarter than the average high school graduate today.
I wouldn’t get your hopes up, at least about other people. Hence the guerilla part.
Edit: clarity
That seems great on pretty much every front.
$3.2B over ten years, or $320 million per year. For reference, the recent AI for All plan promised $2.195B in AI investment.
Don’t look at the military spending.
Wise.
Yay. More money for corporate farms.
