Falk: Liberals leave farmers in the dust
There’s a new voice calling on the federal government to support grain farmers in the province and resolve the issue of the grain crisis that could cost the industry billions of dollars.
At issue is a serious shortage of railcars from both Canadian National (CN) and Canadian Pacific (CP) to help move crops to market.
Battlefords-Lloydminster MP Rosemarie Falk said the Trudeau government has turned its back on the farmers on the issue and something needs to be done soon as time is of the essence.
“We have this grain backlog on the rails they are doing absolutely nothing about,” Falk said. “I really feel the government is leaving farmers in the dust.”
