Sheila Gunn Reid of TheRebel.Media reports: I went to the Rally Against Bill 6 Friday at the Alberta Legislature.
Bill 6 is Rachel Notley's latest attack on rural Alberta. It extends labor regulation, including child labour laws, workers compensation coverage and unionization rights to farm workers. Farming isn't a 9 to five job. It doesn't need 9 to 5 rules that work for unions and urban office workers.
So on Friday afternoon, farmers and ranchers took to the legislature to tell Notley to kill Bill 6. There were ponies and even a turkey. But most importantly there were farm families that came to fight for their way of life.
I had the privilege of talking to these concerned farmers and ranchers. I met Clayton. He's a young man from Ponoka who is in his 4-H Beef Club. He understood why this bill is bad. He even had ways to fix it. That makes perfect sense to me. He has more "on the farm" experience than the entire NDP caucus.
The overwhelming theme on the steps of the legislature from the farmers is that this rally was about the future. It's about the future of the family farm in Alberta and farmers aren't going to let it be stolen from them without a fight.
