Hart Attacks: And if you need a climate change speaker call Bruno for a good time

By Lee Hart March 17, 2017

My walk down memory lane through the pages of a 1938 Country Guide magazine (in the Feb. 7, 2017 issue of Grainews), and my deep analysis of the climate change/global warming issue (Jan. 24 issue of Grainews), drew some feedback from several readers. I figured this update would show just how this column can change […] Read more

Hart Attacks: We Canadians cannot control our ducks, and what they carry with them

By Lee Hart March 10, 2017

With a Twitter-happy president south of the border, I predict it is just a matter of time before Canada — and migrating Canadian ducks specifically — receives nasty tweets for pooping out weed seeds on U.S. farms. That would almost be a joke except that President Trump appears to be such an unpredictable character, with […] Read more

Hart Attacks: It's a miracle. I haven't been feeling any global warming on the Prairies this January 

By Lee Hart February 7, 2017

I don’t know what the country is whining about. Alberta’s Climate Change Leadership program (I love that label), also known as a carbon tax, IS WORKING! As I pointed out to my inner circle in an earlier Facebook post, January 2017 is already much colder than it was in late December 2016, so just having […] Read more

The pros and cons of a head transplant

Hart Attacks: I have my doubts about whether or not this old brain can do a new body justice

By Lee Hart January 27, 2017

As the New Year kicks off, I have been giving some thought to getting my name on the head transplant waiting list — I just have to decide whether I want to be a donor or a recipient. Yes, that’s the new boundary that medical technology dares to be pushing as an Italian neurosurgeon Sergio […] Read more

Remembering farm “pool” perils

Hart Attacks: You no sooner move away from a place and they start making changes

By Lee Hart December 22, 2016

It was just 45 short years ago I left the farm in Ontario. I drove by the old house on a recent visit to the East to discover the new owners — a young farm family — had installed an aboveground pool. Man, a pool would have been great during those hot humid, eastern Ontario […] Read more

Why not a closed-for-business wall?

The Canada-EU trade deal (nearly) crumbles, leaving seven years of negotiation in its wake

By Lee Hart November 8, 2016

I think if Prime Minister Trudeau had any gumption at all he would build a wall to keep Americans and Belgians out of Canada. If they don’t like our trade deals we’ll just keep our scenery, oil and hockey players to ourselves. With this issue of Grainews being published on U.S. election day, I am […] Read more

Let’s get Hillary elected first, then we can worry about milk and eggs

By Lee Hart October 27, 2016

I shouldn’t get too involved in Canadian politics until the U.S. presidential election is over. There is no doubt the race between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump makes good theatre. I am glad I don’t have to make the decision as a U.S. voter. It is truly a damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you don’t contest. But, in keeping […] Read more

Eat, drink, be merry, but there are some times when we need to get serious

By Lee Hart October 21, 2016

It was about 30 years ago this fall I drove a good friend to an alcohol treatment centre in Indian Head, Sask. I didn’t even know at the time he had a drinking problem. But he did and his employer did. So he went for a 28-day, dry out, get-your-head-on-straight treatment program. Pine Lodge is […] Read more

A fish story, involving fish

When you're having fun, catching something is beside the point

By Lee Hart August 19, 2016

Here’s a new idea — go fishing and actually catch something. I know it is different, but I am an outside-the-box kind of thinker. As part of my personal Canada Day celebrations I hired a fly fishing guide with a boat and did a float trip on the Bow River east of Calgary. I had […] Read more

Rocket man seeks rouging work

In the world of ag business, the dollar figures keep getting bigger and bigger

By Lee Hart June 17, 2016

For anyone a bit reluctant to deal with large (about to get larger) multinational corporations for crop protection products, I am today launching Lee’s Hand Rouging Services — backed by years of experience, I will keep your fields weed free, without chemicals and you just have to deal with me. Of course at the rate […] Read more
