War On Meat

Bill C-293 is arguably the most concerning legislation I've seen in 25 years. Under the guise of pandemic preparedness, it grants the government excessive power to potentially reduce meat consumption in favour of promoting plant-based diets.

Turd has to go, now.

Bill numering gives clue: its C-293. Bill numbers 2 to 200 indicate a government House bill while 201 to 1,000 signify a private member’s bill. This is a private member’s bill, and those mostly (mostly) go nowhere. So its concerning, but not hair-on-fire concerning.

except of course, the liberal party of canada is proposing this and is in power, so more likely than not that it is approved.

  And if the bill fails, as it should, the government has a scapegoat: The bill’s sponsor.

    The bill’s sponsor is one Nathaniel Erskine-Smith, MP for Beaches-Woodbine. He’s already announced that he won’t be seeking re-election. It’s not because he will lose the riding: Beaches-Woodbine typically has majorities of 20,000 socialists voting Lib or Dip.

How about the private members bill from quebekkie that deals with supply management? It sailed through the House and now sits in the Senate with a threat to the libranos that if it is not passed by month end it triggers a confidence motion.

Quite right, Kelly. Private members bills never go anywhere. At most what can happen is that the government picks them up and reintroduces them as federal legislation.

Canadians can look forward to their daily ration of Swanson’s TV dinner of plants and bugs.

Man oh man! Just wait till Ontario’s farm organizations hear about this! There’ll be blood on the streets! Their own blood.

From crawling on their hands and knees to beg turdo and Blubber douggie for some kind of compensation package.

The type of people attracted to political or bureaucratic power are pathologically driven to control how others live their lives. This is a perfect example of elected Jacobins and Bolsheviks. The melding of projected altruism and “legal” compulsion of the state all justified as for the “common good”.

Why would a pandemic cause the government to want to limit meat consumption? Are they suggesting there is a link between meat and the covid virus? Would it not make more sense to encourage people to source their food locally including meat? This could lower any cross-country contamination – not saying the virus originated from or was even created in – China. Why not limit overseas travel and immigration? If your interest lies in stopping or limiting another pandemic?
