Greenland is not for sale...but...

From those 8000 dairy farms the spin off in the local economy and jobs is huge .... tell the whole story grass ...

So if the votes of 8000 dairy farms in Quebec affect the outcome of the provincial and federal election why don't the votes of 43,000 canola farmers, primarily in MB, SK and AB? There has got to be a spin off effect for them too.

and the $13B coming in from Ab not to mention exclusive govt contracts, direct handouts to Bombardier, extra social programs the rest of us don't get like daycare. Its a vote buying orgy. Add in the fact that Ontario and Quebec and Atl provinces have proportionally more house and senate seats than the west. Totally rigged system.

So far Trudeau hasn't shown us the money !
I think it's a good idea for the Liberal Party of Canada,,, drop $4 billion onto the laps of canola growers, and lets see all the extra votes they will garner. It's worth a try!

Do you ever think it's maybe your perception that's wrong? The fact that 43,000 western canola growers votes don't count politically but 8000 Quebec dairy farmers do? If their votes were so politically important how come the Government ignored their wishes and started to dismantle the SM system?

Where are the majority of dairy farms ??

And lets look at the climate change funds. Apparently the sands are the biggest problem so we need to transition away from FF, so we implement a carbon tax to incentivize that shift and now help those areas transition to green jobs. So zero dollars go into the west and money for Loblaws and Hydro Quebec for exactly what.

if grass cant see what vote buying is we are fd.

I'm a little slow, and I didn't see the connection between Greenland, and supply management of Dairy. But upon further research, it turns out that Greenland does have a dairy industry, with a grand total of 22 dairy cows.

The climate being cold in the modern era, supply is limited to what 22 cows will produce, but back in the days of the Medieval warm period, the much better climate allowed possibly many thousands of cows. So supply management does work, and when nature managed ( cut the quota) down to zero cows, the dairy farmers of the day were generously compensated for the loss by starving to death or moving.
