Debate reflections on Canada’s family farms fate in 1971
A reader cites a December 1971 Commons debate on Bill C 176 and the Farm Products Marketing Agency. Arnold Peters reads from an Ottawa Citizen piece arguing Canada aims to reduce farms, tying Liberal and Liberal-aligned statements to a longer trend of farming decline and policy pressures. The piece draws parallels to Zimbabwe and laments government indifference to Prairie farmers amid floods and globalization impacts.
