🚨BREAKING: This is incredible news for producers across the Prairies. After strong advocacy from industry, along with Alberta and Saskatchewan working collaboratively to stress the immediate need for emergency use of strychnine, I’m glad to see the PMRA has reversed its decision on our submission. This is a huge win for our agriculture industry, ensuring our producers have the tools they need to better manage their operations and continue providing high quality products. canada.ca/en/health-canada/n…

This is a major win for Canadian farmers. Earlier this year, the Liberal government denied the request to approve the emergency use of strychnine but Conservatives didn’t back down. We continued to push, recognizing how critical this tool is for producers across the Prairies, where Richardson ground squirrels have been causing widespread damage to crops and pastureland. Without access to this vital tool, farmers and ranchers across Western Canada were facing serious risks to their livelihoods, putting food security and the economic viability of our agriculture sector at stake. After months of pressure, it’s encouraging to finally see this decision move forward at a time when it matters more than ever. Thank you to our Conservative team, Agriculture Service Boards and Alberta’s Agriculture Minister RJ Sigurdson and Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister David Marit for providing the science and data proving this was an essential and safe tool for prairie farmers and ranchers.

Today, to address multi-million dollars worth of damage from the recent Richardson Ground Squirrel infestation, the Government of Canada is authorizing a time-limited and controlled emergency registration of Strychnine.

China has restored market access for Canadian beef, lifting the suspension that had been in place since December 2021. In addition, we have signed a pet food safety and sanitation requirements protocol to accelerate resumption of Canadian pet food exports to China.

Nearly 3,000 people are still without water in the Outlook area. The community was forced to shut off its water supply on Monday morning after making the discovery that someone had tampered with the water treatment plant. #outlook #sask #water ckom.com/2025/12/16/outlook-…

Livestock production is capital intensive, risky and stressful. Running a processing plant is capital intensive, risky and stressful. We all grew up in or chose a very hard but rewarding industry. What large packing plants do is damn near miraculous - making that much beef disappear every day in balance with the animal, day in and day out as someone who plays on a micro level is insane. What the cattle feeding industry does - on paper buying a negative swap - day in and day out and trying to feed or trade a profit into them for decades on end is insane. It’s incredible this whole system works as well as it does. As someone who got beat to a pulp in the last market reset and someone who’s trying to make a teeny tiny mark on the processing side… I say this, I hope everyone makes it through this and that the processing side isn’t necessarily nefarious. We are playing business on hard mode…and most of us wouldn’t want to do anything else whether that makes sense or not.

There is no change to the tariffs on Canada and Mexico, per an official. (They were never moved to the "reciprocal" tariff system.)
