NEW INFORMATION INDICATES THAT AS THE CONFLICT IN ISRAEL AND GAZA SEEMS IMMINENT, STORES ARE BEING SHOPPED OUT OF DRIED BEANS PULSES AND GRAINS. THOSE ARE THE CROPS WE CAN AND DO PRODUCE EFFECTIVELY IN CANADA. OIL SEED PRODUCTION IS OUR SECOND LARGEST CROP IN CANADA. THOSE ARE THE BASIC FOODS WHICH UNHOUSED REFUGEES NEED DELIVERED.
TEN YEARS AGO I ADVOCATED FOR A CANADIAN GOVERNMENT SPONSORED INCREASE IN FOOD PRODUCTION WITH THE FIRST AIM BEING TO CREATE A MORE SECURE FOOD SUPPLY FOR CANADA AND ALL CANADIAN CITIZENS.
AN ADDITIONAL AIM WAS TO HAVE FREE BASIC FOOD DISTRIBUTION TO OUR CANADIAN CITIZENS WHO CAN NOT AFFORD ALL OF THE FOOD THEY NEED.
THE "C 130 " DIPLOMACY WOULD INVOLVE FLYING OUR SURPLUS OF FOOD WHICH WOULD BE CREATED TO FAMINE OR DISASTER OR OTHER AREAS WHERE A FOOD SUPPLY WOULD BE REQUIRED.
ONE OF THE OBJECTIONS TO ALLOWING REFUGEES TO LEAVE GAZA OR ISRAEL IS THAT THERE WOULD BE NO WAY TO SUPPORT THOSE REFUGEES IN EGYPT.
