Ritz added that it would all mean that fewer products would be on the shelves because Americans are not going to change their way of doing things for "a little country that's a minor part of their market share." "It's going to shrink, there's no doubt about it," he said. "Our shelves are going to be empty and the prices have to go up because the overhead costs of those stores – all that handling all that transportation – are still there." He also pointed out that the federal government's carbon tax on gasoline and home heating fuel will also add "to that final price of goods." The former minister also denounced the Liberal government's move to reduce fertilizer use by 30 percent by 2030 because they claim that the nitrogen in the product contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. He does not think these farmers will volunteer to give up using the fertilizer. Worse, just like the voluntary gun registry, it will become mandatory after a while. "That's what they do best," he said. Lastly, he slammed the Trudeau government for being dominated by urban cabinet ministers who have no knowledge or appreciation of rural life. He said that they are disconnected from any type of rural groups, citing current Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAuley to have operated a small dairy farm, "but that's some 40 years ago." "Lawrence is getting a do-over coming back in for a second stint at this. And he's the one whose loose lips started talking about a mandatory 30 percent reduction in fertilizer use. I think he got out ahead of the comms team led by [Trudeau Chief of Staff] Katie Telford, of course. And he's spilled the beans, quite literally, and farmers are starting to be concerned." Ritz said the plan is a recipe for disaster for a "trading nation" like Canada. "It sends those ripples out across the world that Canadian agriculture is going to shrink, not grow to feed that hungry world," he added.A former Canadian agriculture minister said Trudeau’s demand that grocery stores create the means for lowering the price of food is a plan for “empty shelves.”https://t.co/9DHAZ4rhy5https://t.co/9DHAZ4rhy5
