Thanks Damian and the other students for standing up and showing your support for farmers. The farmers should have been able to do a delegation and all of your offers to give them some of your delegation time did not go unnoticed. @OntarioFarms
When we (students) showed up to council to advocate for night transit. We were told that the Wilmot farmers would not be given an opportunity to speak and we were used as an excuse as to why I met with the farmers to discuss how we could help, they were kind and thoughtful 1/2

Farmers should be in control of the land they own and be able to decide who they sell it to, NOT the government. #OntarioAgriculture #christianfarmersofontario #ontariofederationofagriculture #onpoli #Wilmot

ICYMI – The Enhancing Professional Care for Animals Act would, if passed, modernize the laws around veterinary medicine. The bill has received support from vets, vet techs and the ag sector. #OntAg #GrowingONTogether

Ontario farmers are working hard to increase market access around the world, the Liberal Carbon Tax is adding on unnecessary costs that make it tough to compete against imports and at the global level. My thoughts on the matter below 👇🏻 #ontag

Thank you to my colleague senators who voted against the C-234 amendment and voted DOWN the AGFO report! It’s time to vote in favour of the original text of the bill and send it to the @GGCanada for Royal Assent, because #AgricultureMatters.
I was happy to see agriculture stakeholders in the gallery for the Bill C-234 amendment vote today! #AgMatters #Cdnpoli @crosbydevitt @SenateCA @GrainFarmers
