Editor:
Clearly, the farmers of British Columbia have a conundrum not of their making. On the one hand, the provincial NDP government is, apparently, going to clamp down on the use of the ALR with a tip of the political hat to farmers while on the other hand, the federal Liberals have announced that a change in the tax system is on the horizon and that parts of that switch will affect farmers across the country, not necessarily in a good manner.
One wonders if the local MP will take up the cudgel and present a vigorous defence for the Delta farmers as is her duty to do; or will she sit limply by and acquiesce to the prime minister and his financial minister as they impart their draconian tax changes on the very people who provide the food that they consume in vast quantities.
‘Tis a conundrum, to be sure.
