Farmers will be slowing down the movement of
food - making the point they could empty grocery
store shelves - beginning tonight (April 12) at 9
p.m. to protest the current farm income crisis,
says Bev Hill, of Varna.
Hill, a member of the Grassroots Movement,
says farmers were encouraged by how they were
received last Wednesday on Parliament Hill in
Ottawa where close to 10,000 farmers from
across Canada converged.
But, the lack of an announcement of a specific
amount of government aid to farmers means "the
job's not .done," he says.
•"All the federal politicians have indicated
they're supportive. All we need now is the money.
And how do we leverage that support into
political action?" he says.
A three -pronged protest is planned at grocery
distribution centres in Cambridge, Whitby and
Ottawa, planned to begin at 9 p.m. Wednesday
and continue until at least noon on Thursday.
"We are disappointed there is no
announcement out of Ottawa yet and action will
continue if no announcement comes," says Hill.
"We're reluctant to disrupt the public's access
to food but the reality is farmers have been
subsidizing prices for too long and we're not
prepared to do it any longer," he says.
