Prime Minister Harper has stated that he intends to dismantle the Canadian Wheat Board by Christmas, 2011. It’s time to tell him to Stop the Steamroller.

– Prime Minister Harper has not adequately consulted, as he is required to do, the relevant Canadian wheat and barley farmers on the matter.

– In a plebiscite, 62% of relevant farmers stated that they want the CWB to remain in place.

– This decision could be the beginning of the end for many family farms that form the backbone of Canadian agriculture, and it is unconscionable that a Canadian way of life should be put at risk without the opinions of those families being heard.

Sign this petition and tell the Prime Minister, Cabinet and the House of Commons you are standing up for farmers and the Canadian Wheat Board.
