Nearly 4 BILLION to dairy and supply managed

[the big wheel]

Budgeted nearly 4 billion for supply managed sector affected by trade deals. So let me get this straight you get screwed in trade deals then you simply open up the budget? Then you mismanage relations with other countries regardless if caused by trump stupidity but no compensation for grains and pulse?

[bucket]

Only 4 billion......pity!!!!!!

Nice to know that those that have an indexed pricing mechanism get a handout while pulse producers that get to deal with scheisters in the name of business ...even with the CGC overlooking....get screwed...

[SASKFARMER]

And we get a ****ing loan.

This is the most insane country in the world

Not sure where 4 billion came from. 1.75 Billion over 8 years which covers the Pacific and Euro trade agreements, not the USMCA as it hasn't been ratified yet.

Works out to $28k for a producer with 80 cows just in the first year.

Not that the ****ers need it. Meanwhile government has no problem slamming beef in the new food guide or leaving grain guys out to hang.

Any nuclear reactors in Quebec? Hope one has a meltdown someday. Such a ****ed country.

4 billion was in the last budget...

Remember that this is compensation for losses suffered in NAFTA 2.0 WHICH HASN'T EVEN BEEN SIGNED YET. Minister Bobo's seat at least should be secure.

BUT BUT, looking after jobs....I am a QUEBECER first, screw rest of Canada to bribe the LOSERS to get re-elected to keep funnelling $$$$ into Kaypecers.

This is what successful lobbying from a effective, powerful producer organization looks like. All of our organizations could learn a thing or two from the Dairy Council of Canada.

I asked a guy at pulse Canada if it was maybe time to hire a lobbyist from either...

A. The dairy sector
B. The auto sector
C. The steel sector
D. All of the above

Gord thought they were doing a good job....


My response...." whatever you are doing isn't working. "....

I don't think he caught the insult nor latched on to the idea...

This is why we have no voice....

Oh sure they cover their ass by telling producers they are very vocal in private conversations with government officials.....well that ain't working either....

Pulse Canada management should resign....pulse growers have been in deep shit for 3 years already and they are not making a difference other than a retirement fund for themselves. ...

Sub 6 bucks for peas while beyond meat is worth more than real meat?

Lentils at under 20 cents and the hardest crop on headers and combines. They paid more for garbage reds in 2016 than good quality for the last 3 years...

But producers are suppose to say ....good job Gord.....here is some more mandatory checkoff funds. ...

Actually I heard yesterday that this 1.75 billion was to compensate for the Trans Pacific and the EEC trade deals. Half the money going to Quebec.

Perhaps the remaining 2.25 billion(of the 4 billion) is budgeted for the USMCA trade deal. Half again, I'm sure, will go to Quebec.

Is anyone really surprised? Anyone here really think the Liberal Party of Canada wouldn't funnel as much money as it could, into Qbeck. Getting money from Canada into Qbeck is essentially all of what the LPC is about! Qbecks love knowing, they're getting money from the rest of us.

Bullshit,,, straight up this is all about buying votes before an election. This has been planned out for probably 2 years already. This is the only way the Trudeau administration has any hope of winning re-election. The LPC will be loosing seats in B.C., AB, possibly Ralph's in SK, they need to gain seats in Quebec and hold what they have in the Maritimes.

Pulse and Canola problems haven't seem to be heard in Ottawa because these huge payments(half of which are going to Qbeck) have been in the works for atleast 2 years.

How much money can any Canadian government give to Agriculture without causing an uproar? Only a finite amount of money will ever go to Agriculture, and the Liberal Party of Canada needs that money(or as much as it can) to go to Qbeck.

Besides, as soon as you have some sort of payment going to Ag, you know there'll be posters here complaining that free marketers shouldn't get anything. They'll cut off their nose, to spite their face. Have you ever heard dairy people complaining about receiving any government payment, or complaining about milk price structure going up? There all in on it,
