The United States of America is facing drought problems and they will experience shortages
the reason is the failing food distribution system if anything goes wrong. Earthquake or other
serious situation and there will be all kinds of problems.
The problem is Canada which has some of the greatest farmland and storage facilities in the
world is also in the same boat for distribution. For example in a crisis, Vancouver Island has
enough food for only three or four days tops. Don't sell Canada short though we produce a
tremendous amount of greenhouse food and we have great storage and canning facilities.
Our problems lie in the fact that there are fewer and fewer farmers, the guys are getting old and
the young ones know there is no money in it.
The greatest danger does not come from Americans coming north China has put aside over
175 billion dollars to buy farmland in foreign countries to ship food to their homeland in case of
food shortages from disaster or other events. Canadian farmland may well end up in foreign
hands and should that happen we ourselves could face a famine in a land of plenty.
China and India have a growing middle class that will soon consume everything their farmers can
grow and they will be looking to buy food on the open market. If that should happen, even if we
have food here, it will be very expensive to the point where Canadians will go to bed hungry.
In the next decade, there will be three main issues on the global radar. FOOD, WATER
and OIL.
If we start selling bulk water it will become a world commodity, and many will not be able to afford
what comes from our own tap as it were. Food will be more than triple in price if you can get it
and oil will be world price which thanks to those wonderful environmentalists, so expensive you
won't even get to sniff it let alone buy it.
The poison food dart is heading straight at us, and we happen to be our biggest enemy.
Here is an example of what I mean. Remember a few years ago they deregulated Natural Gas?
Private suppliers were much cheaper and people split from Terasen Gas in droves. I didn't make
a move because I knew what was going to happen. I have a brother in law in the fuel business
and he told me exactly what was coming. Now they are paying through the nose that I get to save
on. Serves them right. All this crap about competition for essential services is going to cause
many Canadians to experience hunger thirst and deprivation like never before. All this talk about
Americans coming north, don't count on it, they won't be able to afford the gas to come here.
