Adler vs Supply Management

[wilagro]

Fransisco: Please buy all the bacteria-laden products from the USA that you want.

I'll stay with Canada's standards and a system which has worked well for Canadian dairy operators and for consumers as well.

If you read anything about our system you would know WHY and HOW it came about. Take your American system and shove it where the sun don't shine...you and Harper would sell us out in the blink of an eye and think nothing of it as long as your precious MARKET was served.

As far as Adler is concerned...a facetious phoney egotistical jerk trying to be a nouveau Rush Limbaugh. No doubt his abrasive style appeals to you but he is no pundit...just another pseudo-entertainer seeking ratings.

Willy your bacteria count standard is a red herring
that avoids the real issue about the sustainablity of
this communist style system we have now. Tell me
how $25,000/kg quota or what ever it is now, works
for anyone? All it does is keep bankers happy, and
innovators out.

Oh man, what a dumb-ass Adler is - only in redneck
western Canada could a fool like this be considered a
"pundit" with enough credibility to be given air time.

He is outraged that dairy farms are so huge they have
a net worth over $1 million. Wow, He has no clue.

Didn't understand the man trying to correct his
misunderstanding of "corporate farms". Completely
wrong on this score.

Claims CDN store prices are 2-3 times higher than
the US which is gross exaggeration. Doesn't
appear to realize that the price milk sells for in the
store isn't the price the farmer receives.

Chose not to comment on the store price of chickens
or eggs although they too are supply managed
products - wonder why?

Wants to "free" dairy farmer just like grain farmers
were "freed" from the CWB. He will have a job
convincing dairy farmers they need to be "freed" from
the fruits of the most successful dairy sector in the
world.

As I've said before the whole issue is bogus. In my
own sector (beef) organizations like ABP have long
said "we" were being denied market-access to certain
countries because of supply management. I've asked
several times for them to name one country that has
indicated it would either allow market access for CDN
beef, or increase their importations of CDN beef if we
were to abolish supply management and they can't
name one because there isn't one - completely bogus
issue which is nothing more a than hostile trade
threat by foreign competitors. Time for Canadians to
smarten up.

Lie #1 - that CDN consumers pay $2.30/litre and US
only pay 90 cents.
According to Conference Board of Canada research
Canadian consumers pay 60 cents more for a one litre
carton of whole milk.

How about this article Fransisco?

This flies in the face of your propaganda.

[ASRG]

Read the TPP? It isn't about supply management. It is about your return to slavery! Back to the same bullshit your great grandfather escaped from!

If you can't understand that....be happy and listen to assholes like Charles Adler...you deserve it.

<i>"According to Conference Board of Canada research

carton of whole milk. </i>

They didn't actually go into a grocery store in the US to find that tidbit of <i> data </i> did they?

It's time to seriously look at the best way to end the massive subsidies for a select few, and regain some credibility with our trading partners.

Fransisco: You may read this article as well regarding the TPP. It is very revealing.

"It's time to seriously look at the best way to end the

I agree entirely - and given that the supply managed
sectors are the only ones that get their entire income
from the marketplace I assume you must be talking
about the massive subsidies given to grain, beef and
hog farmers in Canada through Agristability etc?
