While it's a wonderful notion to consider "regenerative farming" it's unrealistic when feeding such large populations. Not only would food become more expensive it would also be less abundant. The median age of farmers in Canada is 56 and getting older every year, young people are just not getting into/taking over farming and those who don't have a farm to take over with the help of family are faced with costs that are just too high to even consider the career. Productive, irrigated farm land is very expensive and the equipment well when you consider just a tractor is nearly a million dollars, a baler over $100,000, what you would need to charge just to make the interest payments is certainly beyond what people are willing to pay for their food.

Does anyone know what voter turnout was like in Calgary this election? I know that Edmonton was second lowest since 1980. Up here in Grande Prairie it’s about 13% I’m told st this time.

Yesterday @SMRavens wondered how the left-right split on council ended up. Here’s Common Sense Calgary’s assessment.
Copied ⬇️
Calgary voters have spoken - and the message was clear.
After years of frustration over high taxes, costly pet projects, and misplaced priorities, voters sent a signal that it’s time for change at City Hall.
While several close races are headed for recounts, the overall results show that Calgarians were very tired of their incumbent Councillors.
Just four incumbents are returning to City Hall, and they include two right-leaning and two centrist Councillors.
Every left-leaning member of Council either didn’t run again, or has been soundly defeated - including Jyoti Gondek, who becomes the first incumbent Mayor to lose a re-election campaign in 45 years.
In the end, she didn’t even finish second - slumping to third with just 20%.
So, who was successful and what will Council look like for the next four years?
Let’s take a look at the top two place-getters in each race:
Mayor
In the Mayoral race, Jeromy Farkas (Independent) ...
