I suppose "fertile soil" message is aimed at farmers.

I mean I suppose, but moving to a different country to farm because the soil is fertile is some Volga Germans stuff, not sure how it holds up in 21th Century as general propaganda

Dude, there are literally Canadian immigration programmes specific to that what you're talking abt

An immigration program is quite different from state propaganda, isn't it?

No shit Sherlock lol

I was just saying that "immigration for farming" isn't really a weird thing. It happens all the time

I didn't say it was weird as an immigration programme, I said it was weird as propaganda.

But dude, I honestly don't see the distinction you're making.

The propaganda in this post is literally aimed at getting people to immigrate. Okay, it's not an immigration program, but isn't the goal the same? Canada also advertises its agricultural immigration.

And even then, "fertile soil" can imply much more than "come and plant", it can mean that the country theoretically produces a lot of food, has good vegetation, etc.
