    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?

        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.
          Source: https://www.progressivedairy.com/blogs/ryan-dennis/the-milk-house-the-greening-of-greenland https://www.progressivedairy.com/blogs/ryan-dennis/the-milk-house-the-greening-of-greenland And the supply is strictly managed by the climate. 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.
