Let The People Decide Say The People’s Party of Canada

Sep 17, 2021

The People’s Party of Canada (PPC) talked to Farms.com about its plans for Canadian agricultural heading into Election 2021.

This upcoming Monday, September 20, 2021, Canadians will cast their vote for their next Prime Minister, members of the House of Commons to the 44th Canadian Parliament shaping our nation’s path as seen through national and international eyes.

Politics, regardless of level, affects the Canadian farmer, but policies set by the federal arm have particular impact.

For your voting interest, Farms.com contacted agriculture party critics and spokespeople from the federal People’s Party of Canada (PPC), Green Party of Canada, NDP (New Democratic Party), the Conservative Party, and the reigning ag minister for the Liberal Party to tell us what their party’s view is on the Canadian agriculture sector and what they have in mind if their party takes power.

Unfortunately, at the time of this article, both the federal Liberal Party and Conservative Party did not accept the invitation from Farms.com for an interview.

As such, here is our third and final video interview, the purple party: the People’s Party of Canada.

Candidate Peter Taras, running in the Ontario riding of Niagara Falls, is the owner of Harvest Ridge Farm where they grow garden plants for spring. Less government interference – that’s the message from the Taras. Watch the video below for more insight on PPC agriculture plans.

Video: Evolution of Beef Cattle Farming

The Clear Conversations podcast took to the road for a special episode recorded in Nashville during CattleCon, bringing listeners straight into the heart of the cattle industry. Host Tracy Sellers welcomed rancher Steve Wooten of Beatty Canyon Ranch in Colorado for a wide-ranging discussion that blended family history and sustainability, particularly as it relates to the future of beef production.

Sustainability emerged as a central theme of the conversation, a word that Wooten acknowledges can mean very different things depending on who you ask. For him, sustainability starts with the soil. Healthy soil produces healthy grass, which supports efficient cattle capable of producing year after year with minimal external inputs. It’s an approach that equally considers vegetation, animal efficiency, and long-term profitability.

That philosophy aligned naturally with Wooten’s involvement in the U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, where he served as a representative for the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association. The roundtable brings together the entire beef supply chain—from producers to retailers—along with universities, NGOs, and allied industries. Its goal is not regulation, Wooten emphasized, but collaboration, shared learning, and continuous improvement.
