Ok. Local Advertising and selling platforms that are competitively priced for local farms to sell their goods and gain customers without the expenses of travel and market fees.
Small farms.
Nova Scotia as an example. We do not have large farms like central and western Canada. Most are small family run operations. For the past 8 years Nova Scotia farms have been in the red. They’re closing at unprecedented rates and locally grown food is becoming harder and harder to find. An entire province that may soon not have any ability to produce food.
No farms. No food.
A vast variety of produce can be found in Canada. Search out small local farms. They’re disappearing at crazy rates here in Nova Scotia including ours. They could use your help and in return you will get fresh local seasonal fresh food.
We still grow all our own food homestead style and grow everything from greens to peas and beans, potatoes, broccoli, tomatoes, cukes ,melons, squash and even fruit and nuts like figs peaches, plums apples cherries, hazelnuts, walnuts. We just planted an almond tree this year. We have so much I don’t know if I could list it all.
We also forage mushrooms, berries and plants and sometimes sell bits of extra we may have.
A lot is possible.if you support local.
Show me in two years when they’re swallowing your house.
Medic8teMe@lemmy.caOPto Canada@lemmy.ca•N.S. mayors concerned province 'pushing' municipal police out as government expands RCMP role4·18 days agoJust a few years ago in Nova Scotia we had a mass shooting where the shooter disguised himself as an RCMP officer. Loads and loads of problems during that incident were caused by the RCMP and not the gunman likely because they couldn’t work out wether they should hide what was going on to protect their own or actually try and stop the incident. ACAB all day after all.
Nothing changed and now…let’s offer up more power to a corrupt organization that was established as a genocide machine and currently is racist, misogynistic, sexist and authoritarian as the true level of the law.
Medic8teMe@lemmy.caOPto Canada@lemmy.ca•Disability tax credits are critical for some Canadians. But applying for them can cost thousands5·18 days agoI was confused as it costs nothing but “enormous amounts of time” and back and forth with doctors to apply.
With the right doctors. This is a key point.
Doctors who can see your disability and how it affects you and speak to that. Generally that is specialists in your illness or disability. Specialists we are seriously lacking in this country and who are difficult to see at the best of times even as their patient. Wait Times are months and even sometimes years in parts of the country to see a specialist in certain feilds.
There are so many problems with this system and unless people are directly affected they have no idea or enough space in their overloaded day to care.

That’s the dramatic first sign. We best get organized now. Rollback of rights is next and already tabled.
Nay. Good soil practices will balance your problems themselves. Allow proper soil maintenance to maintain your biome and you will have less problems with insects and disease. No till. Beneficial bacterias. Effective microorganisms. Home made made fertilizers, composts and teas (Korean natural.farming techniques).
Grow good soil with active ingredients and bugs and it will do the work for you.
Medic8teMe@lemmy.caOPto Canada@lemmy.ca•Officials defend Liberal bill that would force hospitals, banks, hotels to hand over data15·25 days agoI’ve sent six emails to my MP since the electio. Zero responses. My MP is even indigenous, sits in the governing party and has all the historical and current reasons to fight. I guess the bank deposits are too good to give a shit about much more.
Medic8teMe@lemmy.caOPto Canada@lemmy.ca•N.S. premier says municipalities who want funding must allow 'economic development' after uranium concerns1·27 days agoWhoever came up with Houston’s, I’m a Liberal with a conservative title schtick took care of any hangers on. I hate how fucking brilliant that was for the population that exists here because people are too stupid to see the actual truth.
Medic8teMe@lemmy.caOPto Canada@lemmy.ca•N.S. premier says municipalities who want funding must allow 'economic development' after uranium concerns3·28 days agoIn my area even the liberals love this guy. It’s insane. They can’t see past the charisma. Slimy shitheel.
Medic8teMe@lemmy.caOPto Canada@lemmy.ca•N.S. premier says municipalities who want funding must allow 'economic development' after uranium concerns5·28 days agoAnd pointing out exclusively how much money his government has funded to that particular county. Maybe a little passive aggressive but that’s the Nova Scotia way after all.
Perhaps we can read between the lines a bit and not give our elected officials carte blanche by interpreting ourselves but instead insisting they clarify the meaning of their words.
