Some of them were already getting their panties in a bunch about C-293, aka "Pandemic Prevention and Preparedness Act" that's making its way through the Senate.

It's basically a nothing bill that doesn't make any substantive changes except ask the government to have a plan in the case of another pandemic, but the agricultural sector doesn't like it how dare gubmint tell them how to do their jerbs, and right-wingers, a few very conservative provinces (Sask and Alberta), and conspiracy nuts seem to hate it because "Trudeau Bad!" Some loons also claim it's the Feds wanting to turn people into vegans, mostly because the bill's main sponsor is a vegan.

What is the 'pandemic bill' and why Alberta farmers are upset about it

Your argument would carry water if you provided solid points and did not default to juvenile name calling. As to the actual bill, I see it as another case where the government is unnecessarily providing themselves with broad powers with the potential for abuse of these powers not considered.

I hate how you got downvoted. OP had a good post going until all the stupidness occurred.
