Grateful to serve the families, farmers, and food producers of Ontario as Minister of Agriculture, Food, and Agri-business 🚜 Growing up on the family farm in Niagara, I saw my parents work tirelessly with determination, optimism, and faith to grow the food our communities rely on.  It was more than a job for them: it was a calling, a continuation of a multi-generational legacy that they were thankful for.  Today, my siblings continue in their footsteps, and the family farm has grown, leading to new businesses and creating more opportunities for workers beyond the family. It’s a familiar growth story across the province: agriculture, food, and agri-business support $52B in GDP, and tens of thousands of jobs.   I may have left the farm, but as I head to farms and agri-businesses across the province, I remain more motivated than ever to protect our remarkable workers and farm families, as well as the entrepreneurs and visionaries who lead them. In the face of Donald Trump’s unprovoked trade war, my message to Ontario’s farmers and agricultural industries is simple: with @fordnation we will move quicker, open up new markets, cut red tape, and protect workers and families. Grateful also for the work of @TrevorJonesCKL in this crucial sector. Now, it’s time to put on some coveralls and boots, and get to work!
