The EU might not have a dairy cartel, but they buy the milk and butter which are overproduced with taxpayer money to keep the price stable. And they spend billions every year for it.
And they have way more regulations for dairy farmers to keep up the quality.
And he's only able to do it because the EU pays him $$. Would you like the Canadian government to throw billions of $$ every year at dairy farmers? Because that's the alternative to supply management. The US does it and the EU does it.
Exactly. At least let the tax dollars go to things that I can directly benefit from, instead of programs to support political identity victimhood groups.
I'd love to see small local producers again... like we used to have.
I work in agriculture. There are small local producers in Canada, though it may be hard to find them if you live in a bigger city. We have the same amount of farmers per capita as the US (though our farms tend to be bigger). We also employ more people in the agricultural sector (2% vs 1.6%).
There is a trend that farmers vanish and the land is bought up buy big companies, but this isn't just a Canadian trend. Happens in the US, EU, SA, Asia and so on. It's a global trend.
I want less regulation and less government interference.
I mean you praise the EU which has way more regulations and government interference compared to Canada ... doesn't seem that you want "less regulations and less government". Canada has less regulations. That's why you are able to buy shitty food in big box stores. This wouldn't fly in the EU because they have certain laws and regulations against that.
