Sheila Gunn Reid of TheRebel.Media reports: Bill 6 is an attack on family farmers and ranchers.
Bill 6 extends Workers Compensation Coverage, Occupational Health and Safety Rules and Labor laws to all Alberta farms, regardless of size and regardless of whether or not the work being done on the farm is paid or unpaid. Bill 6 also allows farm workers to unionize. Worse still, farmers and ranchers - the people this bill affects the most - were not given adequate consultation before the bill was presented. But you know who was consulted? The Alberta Federation of Labour.
You can watch my video about Bill 6 above.
That's wrong. Farmers aren't like regular businesses. It's a way of life. And the NDP don’t understand this. They don’t understand much about rural Alberta.
I want Rachel Notley to stop Bill 6. I want Rachel Notley to give farm and ranch families a seat at the table when drafting safety legislation that affects them. I know you feel the same way so The Rebel is starting a petition to ask the government to stop Bill 6.
Show your support for the farmers that feed us all by adding your name to the list of Albertans that oppose this bad law.
We need as many names as possible to prove to Rachel Notley that this is a bad idea. But time is running out. The NDP want to cram Bill 6 down the throats of Alberta farm families before the legislature breaks for the winter in early December. We need to act fast. Share this petition on Facebook and Twitter and by email with your friends and family.
Then, when our petition is done, Wildrose Agriculture Critic and all around freedom fighter, Rick Strankman will present it in the legislature.
But that’s not all. We want to commission a poll to find out what Albertans really think on this issue. We want to know your opinion, not just the opinion of the Alberta Federation of Labour. We want to know if you think family run farms need more workplace legislation.
Realistically, doing a proper poll costs money. At SaveAlbertaFarms.ca you can help pitch in to fund our poll. Help us give you your say and your chance to be heard. This affects all Albertans. If you eat, you're involved in agriculture.
Let's send a message. Tell Rachel Notley to quit listening to the unions and start listening to our farmers.

The NDP budget is a disaster. Over 50,000 are out of work. Investment is fleeing the province.
SIGN THE PETITION to tell Rachel Notley stop her war on Alberta oil and gas jobs:
