Bill 6 Pros And Cons

Growing up on a small family wheat farm in southwestern Oklahoma, I have experienced the harsh conditions of farming firsthand. The job that used to employ the largest amount of people in the United States has lost the support and the respect of the American people. The Jeffersonian Ideal of a nation of farmers has been tossed aside to be replaced by a nation of white-collar workers. The family farm is under attack and it is not being protected. The family farm can help the United States economically by creating jobs in a time when many cannot afford the food in the stores. The family farm can help prevent the degradation of the environment by creating a mutually beneficial relationship between the people producing the food and nature. The family farm is the answer to many of the tough questions facing the United States today, but these small farms are going bankrupt all too often. The government’s policy on farming is the largest factor in what farms succeed, but simple economics, large corporations, and society as a whole influence the decline in family farms; small changes in these areas will help break up the huge corporate farms, keeping the small family farm afloat.

In late October of 2012, Jessica Gordon, Sheelah McLean, Sylvia McAdam, and Nina Wilson – a group of friends from from Saskatchewan – unknowingly sparked a social movement after their discontent with the introduction of Bill C-45 turned into a nationwide protest for Indigenous rights in Canada. As an omnibus bill introduced by the Conservative government in March 2012, “Bill C-45: A Second Act to Implement Certain Provisions of the Budget Tabled In Parliament on March 29, 2012, and Other Measures” proposed 64 new regulations in a variety of existing acts. The women from Saskatchewan were concerned about the bill’s amendments to the Indian Act, the Navigable Waters Protection Act and the Environmental Assessment Act which they

It can be concluded that Bill C-51 was not thought out in a proper professional manner which led to various concerns amongst people from within the parliament as well as citizens of Canada. It is extremely vital to make amendments to the Bill because doing so will give the people more confidence in the system and in our government. Eliminating all the confusion created within the Bill is the right way forward, however the Ministries should ensure that the safety of its people come first, yet at the same time given their basic human rights. It can be a difficult situation to amend a Bill such as Bill C-51 since it is on a very fragile topic. Facing criticism Hence Trudeau's government will have to be extremely careful handling the Bill, keeping

“Senate Bill 4 is a piece of legislation that Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed in May and it aims to ban “sanctuary cities” by requiring sheriffs, constables, police chiefs and other local leaders to cooperate with federal immigration authorities and allows police to ask about the immigration status of individuals they lawfully detain” (Alvarez). The consequences for sheriffs, constables, police chiefs and other local leaders if they do not follow the legislation are that they could face Class A misdemeanor and possibly jail time (Mansoor & Pollock). “In addition, they can could face civil penalties ranging from $1,000 to $1,500 for the first violation and $25,000 to 25,500 for consecutive offenses” (Alvarez). Many people are against Senate

Factory farming is currently meeting the needs of supply and demand which is beneficial to the economy. However, with the lack of regulations and enforcement of current regulations by authority entities such as the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), it is ethically and morally unjustifiable for these corporations to practice and conduct business this way. The USDA and FDA are not the only players who are to accept blame in this unethical practice. State and federal laws should investigate and collaborate with those agencies to develop, execute, and retain safe and clean practices. Perdue Farms should also accept personal responsibility and be concerned about their workplace, their employees, the animals that make them money, and the consumers. The ethical theory being put into place

I am also concerned about the safety of farm laborers, since this amendment would prevent any enactment of labor laws which protect them from harm. This is especially concerning since Agriculture has been the deadliest U.S. industry every year for the last decade (modernfarmer.com /2014/06/farm-deaths).

Now is the time to stand up, and defend those hard-working family farmers and ranchers that do so much for us. Right To Farm will shield them from needless red-tape, and attacks from out of state special interests. That way, they can do what they do best: Grow great tasting, nutritious food we can all enjoy...and afford. Now that was the vote yes part of it my big question of don't we already have the right to farm? This came straight from a government website

Factory Farming is an increasing industry in the United States. These large farms, which evidently appear to be more like slaughterhouses than the typical farms a person can imagine are located throughout the United States. These factory farms contain animals ranging from chickens, sheep, goats, cows, turkeys, and pigs, they also contain dairy products. The conditions for the animals and the employees of these factory farms are inhumane and vile. Life behind the walls of the factory farm is both unsanitary for the animals and the employees. Employees are forced to endure long hours and poor treatment. Animals in these conditions withstand living in cages and are forced to live in uninhabitable ways.

The right to freedom of religion has started huge debate within the last few years. During the year of 2013 the Parti Québécois political party made a plan to eliminate workers from displaying any symbols of their religion in the public sector.

In 2005, social, economic, and political conditions in Alberta were ideal for the labour dispute that mushroomed at Lakeside Packers in Brooks, Alberta between workers (and their union) and management. The primarily Caucasian, conservative, change-averse community of Brooks had a long history of farming, family, and church life that hadn’t changed much in generations (Inkster, 2007). The multimillion-dollar beef processing and packing plant (a division of American megacorporation Tyson Foods) was one of the largest slaughterhouses in North America, with a reputation of treating workers badly and being confrontationally anti-union, and had been hiring a large number of immigrant workers who flooded the community. The United Food and Commercial Workers Union had been striving for years to become the bargaining unit for Lakeside workers, and with the influx of immigrant workers, recruitment and advocacy efforts were ballooning. As well, the long-entrenched Progressive Conservative government in Alberta was a supporter of big business and labour laws did little to protect workers.

My primary motivation to become a registered veterinary technician is to learn and do more in the field of animal care. My experience working directly with animals has been incredibly rewarding. More than anything, it has shown me how important attention to detail and the most basic tasks can be. I have developed a healthy respect for the often tedious and demanding labor that is required to keep animals healthy and happy and I am quite comfortable taking on these duties, but I feel ready to do more.

“An immigrant who can bring with him work for twelve people is to be welcomed with open arms even in a industrial colossus like the United States - welcomed anywhere it would seem but in Canada...Not only have the refugees brought work, but they have brought new customers”, (Document, 9).

Wells tries to prove here that not only does the government think about profits but they also think about who has the power in the agri-business. America is usually thought of as “the land of equal opportunity for all”, but in fact the government does not provide equal economic opportunities. Instead, the government helps big business owners exploit their immigrant employees.

Capital punishment has been around in the U.S. since the colonial times. This is a form of punishment given to a criminal who committed brutal crimes such as rape, murder, or torturing of others. Capital punishment first involved someone to be hanged, then in the 1950s to be killed by the electric chair, and now lethal injection is the only form of execution used by the government to get justice.

The family farm, an absolute necessity to our economy and way of life, is quickly disappearing, and the world could care less. The family farm is our nation’s source of food, clothing, medicine, shelter, and companionship. According to the Association of Science - Technology Centers the agriculture industry will have to increase by 70% by 2050 to be able to continue feeding the world. Due to these current trends and trade talks with China, farmers are trading their pitchforks for briefcases because they simply cannot afford to keep their families afloat. Without the family farm where will we find these vital nutrients? The family farm is viewed as something so unimportant that the nation feels they can turn a blind eye and the farm will be
