Then the farmers should stop sending food there.

Sell it locally to their friends, family, and neighbors. They’ll end up making more money that way besides.

Only a small number in his district vote for Trudeau. Nationwide direct voting is not how it works up there.

That's where a LOT of our vegetables come from in northern NH.

Huge carrot farms, greenhouse tomatoes, etc.

If you drive north of the border in Quebec, you go by massive farms throughout the Eastern Provinces.

After how successful the Freedom Convoy was, why not? By the way, the Quebec farmers are a powerful group... particularly the dairy farmers.

The wave of agricultural protest against New Green Deal.
You see, farmers are emitters of greenhouse gases.
They have to be put out of business to save the Earth!

Quebec is a very rural and beautiful area.

Thank you fellow Granite Stater.

You're welcome.

Actually I am a 7th generation Vermonter, now a refugee in NH, hoping NH remains as much as possible the same as it has been.

I am also a 14th generation New Hampshireite though.

We are escapees from NY, but not the city. Upstate.

But we love the state and freedom so far, and we did NOT bring NYS style (which really is NYC democrat not Upstate) politics with us so are voting accordingly. It’s hard though as many of the local politics in the Upper Valley tend to run very liberal.

FYI this region, the Gaspe, elected a man named Maxime Bernier as MP. M. Bernier could be compared to Tom Cotton in political beliefs.

They don't vote Trudeau in the Gaspe.

I keep hearing everyone loathes Trudeau...especially in the western provinces...but yet he remains in power.
