Conference
October 25, 2000

At the Recapturing Wealth of the Canadian Prairies conference in Brandon, Manitoba, Lawrence Solomon gave a speech explaining why farmers were likely to lose the government protections they currently have, and how, as a result, this would lead to better farming practices that benefitted not only the farming community but also the environment and the economy as a whole.

He gave interviews with several members of the local media, including:

• 730 CKDM (Dauphin, Manitoba)
• CBC-radio (Winnipeg)
• CBC-radio (Regina)
• Manitoba Cooperator, a farm journal
• The Brandon Sun

Mr. Solomon was also interviewed by the author of an upcoming book on Canada’s farm crisis, to be published by Penguin Canada.
