OTTAWA, ON, Jan. 25, 2023 /CNW/ –
The Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, Marie-Claude Bibeau, released the following statement to mark Bell Let’s Talk Day:
“As Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food and a member of Parliament for an agricultural region, I know that agriculture is about the passion of working your land and raising your animals. It is the pride of helping to feed the world in a sustainable way. It is the hope of passing on what you have built to your children, often following in the footsteps of your parents and grandparents.
Being an agricultural producer is also extremely demanding. It is particularly stressful these days, given the high input costs and interest rates, the diseases that affect animals or plants, unpredictable weather events and ongoing labour shortages.
In this context, it is important to avoid isolating yourself and to share your dreams and worries with close family members, friends or professionals. It is fine to seek help, in fact it is a good idea. There are specialized resources in the agricultural world that can understand this unique reality.
The Canadian Centre for Agricultural Wellbeing, the Do More Ag Foundation, or the Au coeur des familles agricoles organization do excellent work on the ground. They provide support to farmers who need it and I thank them for that.
On this Bell Let’s Talk Day, I invite you to reflect on the importance of your own mental health and reach out to your loved ones. Please have the courage to talk about mental health and seek help if you need it, it saves lives.
You can find mental health resources for agricultural producers on the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada web page. You can also refer to assistance available in your area.
The future of Canadian agriculture is bright. It’s worth getting help to weather the storm. After the rain, the sun will shine again.”

Photo Illustration by Erin O'Flynn/The Daily Beast/Getty ImagesThis past December, the physics Nobel Prize was awarded for the experimental confirmation of a quantum phenomenon known for more than 80 years: entanglement. As envisioned by Albert Einstein and his collaborators in 1935, quantum objects can be mysteriously correlated even if they are separated by large distances. But as weird as the phenomenon appears, why is such an old idea still worth the most prestigious prize in physics?Coincid
“Dogs show things to humans but pigs do not.” That’s the gist of a SciTech Daily article about a group of researchers studying how domestic animals communicate with us.

At the first National Forest site we visited in California’s remote Modoc Plateau, nearly every plant had been chewed on by cattle. The botanists, there to track down and collect seeds from rare plants, pointed out the soil erosion from stomping hooves. The cow pies were everywhere, unavoidable on the steep roadside slope, and they crunched or squished under our boots. The seeds we had come to collect, from a delphinium only known to exist in a handful of places in the state (though more common

You might remember remember ‘Oumuamua as the earliest discovered extraterrestrial object that made headlines in October of 2017. As far as we know it was just a weird space object and not advanced communications hardware from another world. Eve

Across the 50 largest metropolitan markets in the U.S., renters, who are also experiencing rising costs, still on average had a 41.4% lower monthly payment than a first-time homebuyer in December, spending nearly $800 less, according to a new report from Realtor.com. Rising mortgage rates — the average rate on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage was at 6.13% as of Jan. 26 — were largely to blame for that yawning price gap, Realtor.com said.
