CHARLEBOIS: Is Bill C-293 Canada's 'Vegan Act'?

[furrowtickler]

How does this parliament shut down effect these nonsense bills now ??

[wrongway]

Lets hope parliament gets prorogued and then all of these stupid bills before the house and senate get dropped like the hot stinking piles of crap they are

[westernvicki]

Has anyone read the act: a few gems include:

"Use a multisectoral and multidisciplinary collaborative approach, known as a ONE HEALTH approach, that focuses on human, animal, plant, and ecosystem health and welfare interface."

"leverage international expertise."
"provide for the establishment of interlinking surveillance systems..."
"..contact tracing..."
"Changes in land use policy"
"reduce the risk of commercial wildlife trade in Canada."
"support global health equity."
"Communication of risk to the public."
"regulate commercial activities contribute to pandemic risks, including animal agriculture."
"phase out commercial activities..."


As farmers, we thrive in an interdependent demand structure between livestock and commodities.

Animal agriculture provides markets for DDGS, oilseed meal, and pulse protein by-products.

A demand structure that this bill will irrevocably change.
"Promote commercial activities that can reduce pandemic risk, including the production of alternative proteins."

The bill also intends to "control communication at risk to the public", so better speak now, or they will forever control your speech and the message.

Wake up, please. Since June of 2022, this has been allowed to pass three readings in the House and one in the Senate, with zero response from agriculture and little public awareness of a jurisdictionally game-changing bill.

Please ask your agricultural representative to wake up.
Please call the NDP MPS who supported them and beg for them not to support this, as the Senate is nothing but appointed lap dogs.

Prior to covid, I would have taken the position that these are necessary laws to protect our markets, and our industry from unforeseen future diseases. I naively believed that politicians and regulators were mostly benevolent, or at least not malicious.

Now I know better.

So why haven't the milk and feather people killed it??

[fjlip]

Good question, and beef and hogs?

I'm glad to hear that af5 it makes me smile... too much blind naive trust and faith in the world that they "goverment" have the ppls best interests at heart.

I think most people still don't want to believe that the government could really be that evil.
Is much easier to just continue to think they might have our best interests at heart and look the other way.

WHO ,UN and WEF are controlling the puppets
