They are getting help from the Liberal government.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"4988692\" data-originallang=\"en\">The new tax changes will apply a 45% dividend tax on the sale of farmland from father to son, and zero tax on the sale to a foreign-owned conglomerate. Why is the government helping foreign businesses turn our farmers into tenants of foreign landlords?</p>",
