Great to welcome Andy and Oxford turkey farmer Matt from the @CFAFCA to Ottawa to chat about the challenges & opportunities Canadian farmers face and their critical role in feeding our nation.

Proud to support our agricultural community! 🚜

[Lawrence MacAulay @L_MacAulay]

Dropped in to chat with poultry and egg farmers from across Canada at the annual Downtown Diner event in Ottawa this morning. These folks work hard to produce top-quality products, and I'm always proud to support them and defend our supply-management system.

[Arpan Khanna @ArpanKhanna]

Had a great visit at the Steele family farm to hear concerns from our turkey farmers.

Discussed protecting 🇨🇦’s supply management system & our interests via fair trade.

Let's make more. Grow more. Produce more. @MSteeleCDNtrky @turkeyFPF

Thanks to @JustinTrudeau for supporting poultry, egg and dairy farmers, and stopping to talk about turkey farming at #FCM2023AC.

Important to keep in mind when thinking of food inflation. Lower inflation rate is true across a wide variety of products: dairy rose 8.6% vs. 12.0% in US, and 19.6% globally. Canadian chicken prices 7.7% (vs. 14.8% in US); pork 3.6% (vs. 8.7%) #CndAg

Thoughts on the viral milk dumping video - a thread. 🧵

Everyone hates to see milk dumped but context is very important here. Here is my understanding.

1. At last night's @TVDSB board meeting, Zorra Township mayor, @marcusryanzorra wanted to talk about governance. About why trustees say one thing + the director says another. He was called on a point of order for being disrespectful + sarcastic. Thats when he unleashed. #ldnont

Profits expressed in millions.

A model that allows such perverse wealth-sharing is, without question, unsustainable for our country as a whole. Farmers, manufactures, processors, suppliers & consumers unwillingly (& unwittingly?) facilitate this.

(1/3) Facts on food retail prices, dairy product prices and farm gate milk prices. Food inflation since January 2010 has been 3 times larger than #dairy product inflation

TFC administers two auditable On-Farm Programs designed to demonstrate and ensure a high standard of care on Canadian turkey farms. #CdnTurkey

[Dave Epp @daveeppckl]

Recently, in the House, I asked if the Minister of #Agriculture intended to support independent grocers and update the Competition Act to the benefit of consumers as well. #cdnpoli

[Matt Steele @MSteeleCDNtrky]

Thanks @erinotoole! #ThinkTurkey

[Erin O'Toole @erinotoole]

Thanksgiving will be different this year but there are many ways to enjoy your turkey dinner if a large bird isn’t an option.

Consider supporting Canadian farmers and adding one of their many 🦃 products to your plate.

That’s what my family will be doing.

Canada's turkey farmers urge people to buy birds this Thanksgiving as industry takes hit https://t.co/cIstLlPJs3 @CTVNews #eatmoreturkey #ThinkTurkey

[Ontario Agriculture, Food and Agribusiness @AgricultureON]

We celebrate all front line workers in Ontario’s food chain with @ontarioturkey at Golden Valley Farms. #OntAg

[Ernie Hardeman @erniehardeman]

Stopping into Golden Valley Farm with my Parliamentary Assistant @RandyPettapiece & @OntarioTurkey this afternoon to hand out pre-packaged lunches to some of our frontline agri-food heroes as a thank you for keeping our food supply system going during #COVID19.

[Matt Steele @MSteeleCDNtrky]

@MaillouxJosh A great turkey farming family. Congrats guys. #canadianturkey

Proud to return to the Legislature today with some of my caucus colleagues to begin third reading of Bill 156 – the next step towards better protection for Ontario farmers, the strengthening of farm biosecurity and the improved safeguarding of our food supply. #OntAg
