This is so awful for farmers.
I hope there is some openness to connecting up the dots between climate change and increasing frequency of pests out of control.

I'm not sure how, but I'm sure this is Hair Guy's fault somehow.
Didn't we have a PM who shut down a lot of inexpensive, long-running and valuable environmental studies under the cheap lie of "cost saving"? That was Hair Guy right? Totally that guy's culpable.

Not sure who you mean by ‘hair guy.’
Would that possibly be a PM who was from Alberta, a province suffering environmental disasters this year?

There was a "grasshopper" year when I was a teenager.. Sometime in the 90s I think. I remember how you could see waves of them in front of something was moving through the field; and all the plugged up radiators. So many pugged up radiators... The carwash had to put a grate over the drain and throw into a grasshopper pile everyday so it didn't plug up the drain.

I remember a grasshopper year in (I think) 1986, visiting my uncle in Saskatchewan. We flew into Regina and picked up the rental car, an hour and a half later it was absolutely covered in grasshoppers. It's a really distinct memory from my childhood.

We're literally witnessing the apocalypse, and yet I'm expected to go to work on Monday.
