No Sacred Cow

[parsley]

How it was in Canada, until enough stood
strong, and refused the argument that a person
should be jailed for trying to sell what they grow.

Regulatory production is an idea that has
'passed' and will continue to go,the way of sour
milk. I'm happy with the metamorphosis of so
many young farmers' thinking. It's you rocky, who
will lament, while I celebrate the 'youngers' who
no longer have to jail the govt-unlicensed
productionists. ha! Call it vitriol!

I don't disagree that farmers should have the right to sell where they want. But at the time the law was they could not. Therefore until the law is or was changed if you did different you were in the wrong it was illegal and although morally it was wrong for them to be jailed it was the law at that time. They chose to break it.

There are many laws I may not agree with and maybe feel they do not apply to me but I obey them until they are changed.

In regards to the cwb if the minister at the time would have let those farmers through, would that have been fair to the farmers that followed the law and committed grain to the cwb? no, even though as I said all farmers should have had that right to begin with.

Parsley who is saying regulated production is not the in thing? Not consumers, consumers are very pleased at the quality etc. of the dairy industry. I for one do not want any foreign milk from some rat eating countries on my table for my kids, just because someone has a warped idea that money is the only thing of value.

Except for the fact that Canadian consumers aren't given a choice. You are forced to buy the stuff that is twice as expensive or do without. As far as quality goes, I've never heard of anyone dying from eating California cheese.

Well you got me there because I never heard of anyone dying from eating a rat either! lol

[riders2010]

However when you get rid of our dairy and egg industry what choices will we have then? We will be subject to the standards of the other country. What if California goes broke and no cheese, then where.

[riders2010]

Also how does California produce cheese and ship all that way here cheaper? by using basically slave type labor. Our oil industry has a campaign for the world to buy our oil because the workers are paid well the environment is not compromised so why is that slogan good for oil and not for producing milk and cheese by paying the producer fairly as apposed to slave labor.

I believe we should supply manage running shoes
so that the price will double and people making
running shoes get way more money out of our
pockets,otherwise the entire running shoe
business will be destroyed and the quality will be
destroyed,and my god think of the children do you
really want your kids in cheap running shoes that
will make them trip and fall,and for god sakes
think of the health care costs that will come from
all these poor little kids going to emergency
rooms,dont you see my logic and how our society
should be structured around my logic,for gods
sakes we are talking about running shoes!!!!

[riders2010]

I don't eat running shoes!

riders you said "Also how does California produce cheese and ship all that way here cheaper? by using basically slave type labor." Pretty loose with the slave label and not very accurate. I've seen their dairies. They are not my cup of tea but the people working there are surely not under duress.

Do you eat when you goto the u.s?
