OTTAWA — The federal Conservatives are more interested in “ginning up a partisan circus” and undermining democracy for political gain than they are in actually protecting Canadian institutions, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau charged Friday. Both the Conservatives and Bloc Québécois condemned the appointment, with Poilievre accusing the prime minister of naming a “family friend, old neighbour from the cottage and member of the Beijing-funded Trudeau foundation” to the independent role. Johnston — who was appointed governor general by Conservative prime minister Stephen Harper — is listed as a member of the Pierre Elliot Trudeau Foundation, which the Prime Minister’s Office says Trudeau has not been tied to since he became Liberal leader. He was in charge at the time of making sure that China or others weren’t influencing our elections,” Trudeau said. “It is Justin Trudeau that has put Mr. Johnston in this terrible situation by naming a member of the China-financed Trudeau Foundation to perform this role of looking into Beijing’s interference in our election campaigns,” he said.

Nelson ZandbergenFarmers ForumBRINSTON — A multi-million-dollar silo digester that can handle manure from about 10 dairy farms is nearing completion on Thurler Farms, southwest of Winchester. It’s the first in a planned fleet of 310 units nationwide to extract methane from most of the manure produced on Canada’s 10,000 dairy farms by 2030. Participating farmers will also get a share of revenues that GET Corp. earns from the sale of methane — otherwise known as Renewable Natural Gas when cleaned up for the natural gas grid. The methane brewed at Thurler Farms will be cleaned and liquified on site, and transported via an 18-wheeler tanker truck to a Peterborough site for injection into Enbridge’s natural gas grid. Biogas now accounts for over 25 % of the gas flowing through the Danish natural gas grid.
