[John Barlow @JohnBarlowMP]

"The last thing that farmers need is increased taxation from the federal government."

But this Liberal government won't stop piling on taxes—carbon tax, capital gains tax, you name it.

Tax farmers to death, & we risk losing our food supply.

Trudeau isn't worth the cost.🚫

🚨Big news for grains farmers!

Bills C-244 and C-294 were just passed in the Senate, helping to create a right to repair framework at the national level.

A big thank you to MPs @WilsonMiaoRC and @JeremyPatzerMP, and Senators @colindeacon and @SenatorHousakos for your support.

[Grain Growers of Canada @GrainGrowers]

International trade is critical for the livelihood of 65,000 grain farmers, yet Bill C-282 will have repercussions with our major trading partners.

Visit https://t.co/PTbUJ2GExz to send a letter to your provincial Senators asking them to reject Bill C-282. #cdnpoli

[Daryl Fransoo @DarylFransoo]

Bill C-282, aimed at protecting supply management and harming every other export oriented sector in Canada should NEVER come to pass. It’s the duty of the HOC and the Senate to look out for all Canadians. Their job isn’t to pick winners and losers for votes. #StopC282

Listen to me talk about the frustration farmers have with Teamster’s 72hr strike notice to @CNRailway with @SusanBonner on @cbcasithappens tonight
@wheatgrowers

[Daryl Fransoo @DarylFransoo]

Now the @TeamstersRail union is using the CDN economy and the Canadian citizens as pawns. They don’t care about us so why should we care about them. The end result will be binding arbitration because the unions asks are absurd and they know that. That’s why they won’t agree to it

[Wheat Growers @wheatgrowers]

Stephen Vandervalk farms near Fort Macleod, Alta., and is the VP of the Wheat Growers. He called the situation "completely out of control" and urged the parties involved to come up with an agreement.

“We're going to be in trouble because farmers depend on timely rail movement from the grain buyers, from the grain companies, to move our harvest because we cannot store our whole crop in our bins."

The WG is another group with a similar tone towards Ottawa and its handling of the ongoing dispute. They were disappointed MacKinnon chose not to utilize binding arbitration.

A total shutdown of both of Canada’s national railways will cost grain farmers $50 million a day. #cdnpoli

[Wheat Growers @wheatgrowers]

"Harvest is right now. We're combining. Bids are dropping daily because elevators don't want grain, and they're stopping deliveries from grain," Stephen Vandervalk told CBC.

Today is the last day to avoid a rail shutdown.

Tune in this morning as #cdnag calls on the federal government to step up and end this uncertainty once and for all.

[Wheat Growers @wheatgrowers]

This needs to end. @L_MacAulay @AAFC_Canada

[Harry Siemens @hsiemens]

The Wheat Growers Association has criticized the Canadian federal government for not intervening in the rail strike, pointing out that both CN and CP have embargoed shipments, which could severely impact Canada's economy and food security, especially with the harvest season starting.
