Supply Management or NO DEAL

[Guest]

I didn't realize we had an adult negotiator ?

So what do you suppose will happen to all these expensive quotas.
Will they go back to where they started FREE.

Don't need quotas, called free market like grain...

Just out an hour ago, Trump is PISSED! Dumbo's little new conference after the summit in which he said Canada would not be pushed around. Well that lit the fuse! Trump told his men to withdraw his support for G7 statement and to begin process of putting tarriffs on all Canadian autos.

This is gonna be fun to watch this next month! Little beaver thinks he is more clever than the elephant, but he is going to get his ass flattened.

Justin and Jerry will have to sit down smoke a joint and try to figure out what their next move will be.

Should be fun to watch!

If the supply managed Industries in Canada lose their protection is anyone on Agriville going to start a dairy or a poultry operation(take your pick of what kind). If you expect prices to drop I'm sure some will be first in line to do it....sarcasm!

I have never begrudged a dairyman/maid their wage. In the old days they wore their knees and backs out and were married to the ****ing thing. Now the methods have become physically easier but the capital needed to adopt the new tech is crazy. The area I live in was a hot bed of small dairies. There are only two left of modest size...and its hard to fathom those two producing more milk than when the countryside was littered with them. The dairies probably consolidated and are located closer to the processing facilities now.

$4.50ish for a 4 liter jug of milk is reasonable in my opinion. We live close enough to the big city we don't have to pay small town convenience store prices.

Ask the people of Hudson Bay Manitoba what happens to the price of groceries when the supply gets cut short. That's not a free market....thats a captive market.

Buy a cow! ...better get two.

Edit; a ****en beer at Mosaic Stadium is $9.00...

Careful what you wish for.

Didn't Harper have a deal arranged to pay out the dairy quota?

To me the dairy quota system is much the same as the ethanol deal.

Transfers the subsidy to the user but still a government mandated subsidy.

The days of it keeping the family farm thriving are long gone.

Beer is not a staple food and going to a stadium is not a critical life necessity, so as far as I am concerned, the price for both can be the sky's limit.

How far are we from the day nobody will lend Justin money for all his pie in the sky promises?

Every pledge he makes is borrowed money.

He had a deal to compensate dairy producers based on what would be imported due to TTP obligations. 5% imports worked out to a $3 billion payout or so. So you can imagine the bill to buyout the whole system.

Which is a whole crock of shit in the first place. Quota had no value in the beginning. It was the marketing boards that changed that so producers could leverage themselves. Go **** themselves just like beef guys did in 2003. Lots of us took it up the ass for several years.
