PRESSURE SYSTEMS — LATEST EDITION

Farmworkers Lose Protections as Pesticide Rules Loosen

November 13, 2026

EU farm-subsidy labor protections, Ottawa’s pesticide and Bill C-39 environmental rollbacks, and EPA’s retreat from factory-farm air enforcement are being sold as food-security and competitiveness measures while Budget 2026 leaves one in three Canadians skipping meals. The same pattern runs through UK “Be Ready” food stockpiling and grain-shipment attacks: public capacity is narrowed to corporate project approval and household self-provisioning, with farmworkers, rural water systems, and consumers absorbing the risk.
