Canadian farm producing consumable crickets lays off two-thirds of its employees
by Anthony Murdoch Nov 14, 2024
The workforce reduction at a London, Ontario, facility that received $8.5 million in government funding appears to be a sign that Canadians do not have an appetite for bugs.
It appears Canadians’ taste for eating food made from bugs is not in high demand after news broke that a farm given millions by the federal government to raise crickets for “human and pet consumption” laid off two-thirds of its staff.
The cricket farm in London, Ontario, run by the Aspire Food Group just broke ground on a new 150,000-square-foot facility last year. The company said it was cutting shifts and going from 150 workers to 50.
In comments made to the trade news outlet AgFunderNews, company CEO David Rosenberg said the layoffs are due to making “improvements to its manufacturing system.”
The fact the company is already cutting costs in dramatic fashion comes only a short time after Canada’s federal government under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau contributed$8.5 million to it in 2022.
The cricket farm when fully operational can make 13 million kilograms of crickets for “human and pet consumption.”
It was given widespread coverage several years ago by Canada’s state-funded CBC, which billed it as the “world’s largest cricket production facility.”
Aspire’s pitch that its food had a lower environmental footprint than protein from cattle or pigs was in lockstep with the radical environmental goals of the Trudeau government as one of the reasons it landed a large grant.
According to AgFunderNews, only a year ago Aspire claimed its factory would be working at 100 percent by the start of 2024.
“We have significant contractual commitments for the majority of our production and expect 100% will be sold within the year,” former CEO Mohammed Ashour told AgFunderNewsin March 2023.
Groups such as the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) blasted the federal government for subsidizing companies that make food out of crickets for human consumption, saying it amounts to giving Canadians “their ‘let them eat crickets’ moment.”
Both crickets and mealworms in recent years have been promoted by global elites as a source of protein that they say could replace beef or pork, and which can also be used in a variety of foods.
Indeed,the Great Resetof Klaus Schwab and his World Economic Forum (WEF) has as part of its agenda the promotion of eating bugs to replace beef, pork, and other meats that they say have high “carbon” footprints.
The Conservative Party of Canada in an email to members said that the news regarding Aspire cutting most of its staff is proof that Canadians “will not eat bugs.”
“Justin Trudeau bet $9 million of your money on edible BUGS! He wants Canadians to own nothing, be happy, and eat crickets,” the party said in the email.
“But his bet failed. The company he invested YOUR tax dollars in has dramatically cut production and fired two-thirds of their staff. Turns out, Canadians don’t want to eat bugs.”
In 2022, Conservative MP Leslyn Lewis blasted the current cancel-culture crusade against red meat by pushing bugs as a source of food and the Trudeau government for funding bug factories.
The Trudeau government has implemented many policies that align with the WEF’s so-called “climate change” agenda, including a punishing carbon tax, and attacks on the nation’s oil and gas industries.

Great. Keep the factory open... and make it a big food supplier to GITMO.
The bugs they planned for US to eat are the ones THE ELITE will be eating in GITMO.
Was just coming here to say ^this^. As ye sow, so shall ye reap.

They do use an insect to create the shine in chocolate

Are people making a noise over the Bug Farm failure?
Nope, Crickets!
🤔😮 Oh I get it🤣🤣🤣
Hilarious...you hopped on that one.
Excellent
Thar factory smells 10x worse than any chicken farm, guaranteed. Crickets are related to cockroaches and are fuckin nasty
Klaus Schwab - You vill eat zee bugs
Bart Simpson - No way man
Well if the crickets are so damn good for you, harvest them all and send them to Gitmo as nutrition
Feed the crickets to the fish and people can eat the fish.
If the bugs can be produced economically and organically, they'd make a great supplemental amendment for winter poultry chow.
Feed them to able bodied food stamp recipients. No more chips and colas. Eat bugs or go to work. We will make an exception for the disabled who cannot work.
That's a good start.
I can’t help but wonder just how far we were in the dystopian crapper for this to be a genuine pursuit. What coincided jack wagons to actually believe they deserved to be masters of all they saw while us lowlife plebs lived in concrete cartons competing for the opportunity to live another day on the bugs and chemical wafers. They wanted to have the entire world as their playground and a slave society to fund it then play with if they get bored. The perversion of basic human morality and destruction of the human spirit they had planned is nauseating.
The elites need buried with all their bugs when they take their coming dirt naps
We can bury them alive in the bugs first. I’d love to see it.
Let Klaus eat ze bugs!!
Anybody want to guess where Klaus and Turdoh can put those crickets?
Maybe we can hire Fauci to treat them like he did the beagles. He'll put their heads in a screened in cage, strap them down, feed them no food or water and cut their vocal chords so no one is bothered by their screams.
Then release biting flies, followed by Crickets, followed by bot flies. See how they like it.
Then when he's done, put Fauci on trial for Nuremberg 2 offenses.
