When you read this bill, claiming the brand of environmental farmers and using data to defend producing beef, chicken, and pork may begin to look worth defending by individuals and ag associations, even the provinces.

It is in the Senate now, without a peep.

Reading this made my eyes bleed.
I agree to be at the table prevents you from being on the table.
But for how long?
This bill as worded puts everything on the table regardless of any compliance.
Disgusting.
Provinces need to fight back with Right to Farm type legislation??
Ottawa is amok.

You may have to be a member of Linkedin to see this comment. You can read the bill and see its status above. It gives authority for action on any necessary measure for health measures impacted by climate and agriculture, ie; bird flu and beef.

Read the bill.



We live in an agricultural province, pay ag representatives millions of dollars in checks off, and a lawyer from Ontario is the first to flag this. This is unbelievable.

We need a right-to-farm bill, and every farmer should call their elected ag directors, the MP, MLA, and RM council regarding this horrendous oversight.

We know the NDP will back the Liberals on this carte blanch legislation, so call the Saskatchewan NDP, too.

Frightening. WHO Pandemic treaty is a treaty which removes national sovereignty on health care in the case of a pandemic or in conditions where a pandemic is to be avoided. Canada supports this we have been told. This is a treaty. The treaties are a treaty.
