Why should farmers and ranchers be immune??
Another collectivist from Sask heard from…they’ve spread their poison far and wide.
You mean it’s a poison to carry insurance against injuries for your employees? So all the employees at Walmart, Sears, GM, Ford, Chrysler, Caterpillar, John Deere, Exxon, Shell and Petro-Can are ”poison” because ”Stradivarius” says so! Wow!
Same sick mentality as some of your farm friends who operate overloaded B-trains on ”paid for by the taxpayer” streets and highways that they destroy, then go whining to the government for lower prices on ”F” plates and insurance.
My point is that the rest of Canada pays for Workers Comp, why shouldn’t farmers and ranchers??
PS: Re: Referring to other people as ”poison.”
Now you know why Harper and Prentice are out of a job.

Typical collectivist, frame it as an ‘insurance’ issue, when it’s really a forced collective issue.
These collectivists can never answer the question of, if it’s so good, why do people have to be forced to buy it?
No different than the USSR, if it was so good, why did people have to be locked in?
I call them the New Dictator Party … this video just proves the point.
He kept saying that it is to help prevent deaths on the farm … Question: How come there are more deaths per year of children under the Alberta government care?
NOTE: he never answered the first question asked … Will you vote against Bill 6 and listen to your voters? (He will vote for it.)
Spoken like a true warrior poet. I couldn’t agree more.
“…but until he physically gets a bloody nose and kicked to within a inch of his life he wins, the left knows it because thats how it operates. Bringing a polite town hall discussion to a gun fight, you know the outcome. ”
Exactly. Until you run these pieces of shit out of town in tar and feathers nothing will change. Get angry, really angry. Better yet, get mad…as in rabidly mad.
Get a thousand tractors and plug up downtown Edmonton tighter than a spinster on cheese. And stay there until things get changed. And don’t worry about our pathetic media…tell them to go **** themselves.
Note a few details about the communist agriculture minister, O’Neil Carlier. While he represents a rural riding his occupation is noted as union representative. He is from Saskatchewan, no doubt from one of those old Saskatchewan rural communist families that have mostly died off or moved to Alberta. Keep your damn communists, you stubblejumpers.
A strike will only destroy farmers. Take a lesson from Saul Alinsky’s ‘Rules for Radicals’ (summarized here: http://www.bestofbeck.com/wp/activism/saul-alinskys-12-rules-for-radicals) Beat them at their own game. If you are not part of the solution you are part of the problem.
Drive heavy equipment into the cities and block intersections. Do it every day until the idiots get the message.
The way the laws were written under the previous government, if a worker was injured at work, it was really up to the farmers or the ranchers to decide if they were going to compensate the victim. Add to that the fact that there are no laws that govern the safety requirements of farm and ranch equipment, it was high time that someone grabbed the wheel and took charge. Many farm
injuries are caused by substandard equipment.
Everybody else in Alberta was forced to protect their employees with worker’s compensation, why not farmers?? I went working for a friend a few years ago. A friends as in I was working for free. He had just bought a new hydraulically powered post hole auger that fit on a front end loader. He threw the pressure on without looking if anyone was standing near, the auger spun in a wide circle hitting the handle of my shovel, and the brim of his 21 year old grandson’s hat and within an inch from his head. That’s one of about five close calls I saw that fall. And no, they didn’t have a penny’s worth of insurance. Needless to say, I never went back there.
I’m not NDP, I’ve been a paid up member of the PC and subsequently the Sask. Party for 34 years, maybe more. I have a simple solution for farmers who can’t afford accident insurance or workers comp. Sell the farm. And no pun intended, but I do take my hat off to Rachel Notley for having pushed this through. And by the way, my favorite uncle died because my grandfather couldn’t take five minutes to top up the brake fluid on a three ton truck.

No, they’re forced to buy gov’t insurance. Forced collectivism. I have a simple solution for farmers who can’t afford accident insurance or workers comp. Sell the farm.
Here’s an idea that probably hasn’t occurred to your simple collectivist mind, don’t work for them.
Gawd, if it weren’t for safety warnings all over everything, all these simple collectivists would be dead.
Rachel and her ministers have been running around trying to soothe farmers and explain how WCB requirements don’t affect family members or neighbours, but this Employer Fact Sheet (currently still live) says otherwise: http://www.wcb.ab.ca/pdfs/employers/EFS_Who_do_i_have_to_cover.pdf
I don’t care if they (farmers, contractors etc.) buy insurance in China or Russia. The Province of Alberta (like all others) needs a board to regulate work related injuries. My family (3 generations) was in the garage business for 60 years. I was a farmer, now retired. I didn’t want to be sued by an injured worker, and they (workers) didn’t need the hassle of having to fight for compensation if they were hurt. We went with Sask. Workers Compensation because the rates were competitive at the time.
Just an example. My Dad and I were having a shed built in 1985. Beautiful winter morning, temp was about -2C when one of the workers got up on the frost covered roof to install a vent. He slipped and broke both legs. He received Workers Comp and later got a settlement for his permanent injuries. With he money, he was able to start a family business that they still operate today. We had zero problems with lawyers, courts etc., it was all settled through Workers Compensation in Regina. And trust me when I tell you that looking at the comments, a lot of people have no clue as to the risks of being sued by the victims of injuries and accidents.

With forced payment extorted from those without fault. The collectivist’s dream…something for nothing.
Back then–we had no choice. Workers Comp was compulsory. It was not ”something for nothing” because we paid the premiums to Workers Comp, no different than any insurance company. What’s the difference if Workers Comp collects the fees or a private insurance? As long as they remain competitive. And at the time, I don’t know that there was a private insurance company that would have covered us. Even today, and here in Saskatchewan, personal injury claims on a commercial package policy will always mean higher premiums and for years to come. End of story.
