Canada Begins Replacing Meat with Insects for Public Consumption

The far-left Canadian government has been caught pumping millions of dollars in taxpayer money into plans to eliminate traditional meat for public consumption and replace it with insect-based “foods.”

Canada’s World Economic Forum-controlled leadership has funneled $10 million into building the largest cricket-processing plant in the world.

According to documents obtained by The Counter Signal, the new insect plant will soon start operating out of London, Ontario.

Previous reports from 2022 indicate that Agriculture Canada gave $8.5 million to insect protein producers Aspire Food Group Ltd.

However, this newly uncovered government document suggests that in June 2020, Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s cabinet secretly committed $10 million from Innovation, Science, and Economic Development Canada (ISED).

The funding injection sought to get the cricket plant designed, built, and operational as soon as possible.

The Ministry of Innovation justified the funds by stating that crickets are a superior source of nutrition over plant-based foods and beef, chicken, and pork products.

“… Farming of insects, rather than animals, for protein uses less feed, water, and land and produces higher quality protein compared to plants,” the document states.

The ministry also indicated that the facility is easily scalable and can “automate large-scale production of cricket protein.”

Trudeau funneled cash to the insect protein company via his green slush fund, Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC), which is currently embroiled in a mismanagement scandal that caused CEO Leah Lawrence to resign on November 10, as the report notes.

SDTC board president Annette Verschuren also resigned this week after it was discovered she approved $217,000 in funding from SDTC to her own firm.

The $10 million insect protein discovery comes amid concerns from Canadian farmers that the Liberals’ fertilizer emissions reduction targets will harm crop production in the sphere of traditional agriculture.

By 2030, the Trudeau Liberals aim to reduce emissions from fertilizer use by 30% from 2020 levels.
