60.8% of Canadians are open to paying 5-10% more for 🇨🇦 produce, dairy & meat. Is this really a good time to replace prime farmland with an industrial mega-site?

Expropriation is no joke. Support the residents and farmers by writing to local politicians to tell them Wilmot is not a willing host.

FACT: 0.45% of Canada's land area is Class 1 agricultural land, according to the Canada Land Inventory.
More than 50% of that is between Ottawa and Windsor.

Now's not the time to pave over farmland - especially not Class 1 prime farmland.

Photo of headline from the Waterloo Region Record: Not a giant step for bungled Wilmot Land Grab: Only 20% of eligible voters in Kitchener-Conestoga voted for Mike Harris Jr. Includes background of farmland with photos of the Mayor of Wilmot Township, Chair of Region of Waterloo and Kitchener-Conestoga Member of Provincial Parliament.

Higher prices are expected due to tariffs, so long-term planning and new builds are likely off the table for companies.

But we need to feed Canadians, so prime farmland is more important than ever.

These three are falling inline with Doug Ford who’s betting the farm to protect his JOB and helping him sell out Ontario and Canada. 🇨🇦
