Airbus and Boeing receive billions of dollars in subsidies, despite the fact that they are a duopoly. Meanwhile primary food producers are being destroyed by tariffs.

Yup look at the recent announcements ....

Weston's receive 12 million
Evraz received 40 million
Steel companies down east received 100s of millions
AGT received 110 million
50 irrigators at Riverhurst were gifted a 75 million project plus further money going forward


There are many more examples...

And we get Terry " big walleye" Youzwa and Meg Reynolds and WCWGA representing us at the ag committee...

Thats excellent...

Do you think they will mention canola gets priced off a US market and it had a 12 billion injection????

Do you think they will ask for weekly reporting?

Do you think they will mention that red lentils are off 9 bucks a bushel from 2016?????

macdon, this is what was completely missed by journalists during the trade negotiations. The Trudeau, Freeland et al never asked Trump's trade team to give anything up. They were always on defense, always trying to save the NAFTA trade deal, always negotiating to not give up anything,,,,rather than be offensive, and suggesting the USA give up something Ag, or anything at all! Really a true sign of rank amateurs trying to complete a business deal. It's like coming out with your best offer, not expecting them to counter offer lower, you then have no room to move to their offer, because you already gave your last position.

Now Johnny comes lately and wants to ask the USA to give up things. It's about as stupid as signing the agreement, even though you want them to drop the steel and aluminum tariffs, and thinking they'll just do it after! huh !!!
