Meeting with FCC | Dec 18, 2023

Had a fantastic meeting this morning with Steve Anthony and Kelvin Odurukwe from Farm Credit Canada (FCC). We discussed many of the issues facing local farmers and others in the ag-related industry. It was good to hear about the many support programs and initiatives FCC has available, for those in the industry, that go beyond just financing. I was also interested to learn of the great outreach opportunities of FCC, in communities across Canada, including many local initiatives right here in Essex County!

Thank you | Dec 15, 2023

This holiday season, many people will be busy working instead of spending time with their families. The list is long.

Farmers, First Nations & Families | Dec 8, 2023

Conservatives put forward an opposition day motion to remove the carbon tax on farmers, First Nations, and families, but the NDP-Liberal government voted it down. Despite this, Conservatives are continuing to push for the Liberals to axe the carbon tax by forcing 26 hours of voting.
