🇨🇦 Canada exports the farm, imports the value

Ottawa has finally discovered that shipping raw food out and buying it back processed is dumb. Stunning breakthrough. More than 70 per cent of Canadian soy production leaves the country unprocessed, and now the same federal class that spent years hollowing out manufacturing wants applause for a food security strategy. As reported, Carney’s plan throws hundreds of millions at a problem created by decades of political laziness, regulatory bloat and an economy designed to serve foreign capital instead of Canadian self-sufficiency.

The article accidentally tells the truth: this is about sovereignty. If Canada grows millions of tonnes of soybeans but lets other countries capture the processing, jobs, margins and strategic control, we are not a serious country, just a resource colony with nicer branding. The touted upside is $25 billion in annual GDP growth, yet the governing genius class still acts as if national capacity is optional while they obsess over climate optics, DEI box-ticking and global supply chain fairy tales. Process it here, build it here, keep the value here.
