Green candidate says farm crisis biggest scandal
Brandon Bird of the Souris Manitoba Green Party calls the farm income crunch the era’s largest scandal, accusing the federal government of letting corporate power gouge farmers. He cites a 11 percent farm decline from 1996 to 2001 and notes record profits for 40 firms in 2004. He urges policy changes to protect Wheat Board, supply management, CAIS reform, and more support for small farmers ahead of Jan 23 vote.
