I'm losing focus on what farmers want here. Do they want no OHS coverage for family farms? Or do they want special exemption for certain parts of it because of the goodwill system?
I'm having a hard time supporting either side. However, if the argument is "we've been doing it this long without any OHS, why change now" then I'm not sure that's enough grounds to stand on. Conversely. the NDP haven't done enough homework on this and are backtracking. So perhaps both sides need to come to a reasonable middle ground.
And if that's what happens - negotiating a reasonable middle ground - then I would say democracy is a success, since the people spoke up and the government listened.
