We're in trouble: New Dangerous Bylaws Proposed for Grand Manan, New Brunswick

from Homegrown Show with Ben Cummings · host Ben Cummings

Across North America, small farmers and homesteaders are being regulated out of existence — one bylaw at a time.In this episode, Nicole breaks down the shocking new Grand Manan bylaw proposal in New Brunswick that could limit how many chickens, goats, or livestock you can own — and even force you to register your animals with the local government.What’s being sold as “sustainability” and “planning” looks a lot more like control. And it’s not just happening on Grand Manan — it’s happening across Canada and the United States.Nicole dives deep into the bigger picture:Why small farms are disappearing faster than everHow new “green” policies and zoning rules hurt rural independenceWhat these changes mean for food security and community resilienceAnd why the fight for local food freedom starts right nowThis isn’t about nostalgia — it’s about survival.📢 If you believe people should have the right to grow food, raise animals, and live freely on their land — this episode is for you.⏱️ Timecode Chapters00:00 – Introduction01:00 – The Illusion of “Order” and “Sustainability”01:25 – The Hidden Agenda: Control of Rural Life02:10 – The Disappearing Small Farm Crisis03:40 – The Canadian Farming Collapse04:54 – Grand Manan: A Case Study in Overreach06:00 – Chicken Regulations and Registration Madness08:26 – Livestock Laws: Five Acres or Nothing09:45 – Hobby Farms Under Attack11:00 – The True Cost of Compliance12:33 – Bureaucracy by Design: How the Little Guy Loses13:27 – Greenwashing and “Climate Smart” Agriculture14:33 – The Corporate Capture of Farming15:40 – What We Lose: Food Security, Freedom, and Tradition16:34 – The Battle for Grand Manan17:17 – “You Will Own Nothing…”: The Bigger Picture18:03 – A Call to Resist and Reclaim Rural Rights18:49 – Final Words: Survival, Not NostalgiaLeave a Like and Subscribe if you enjoyed!
