Butter...

[GDR]

Hmmm , a lot of people on here seen this coming a long time ago .
Disposable income is about to be drained hard for everyone on the back of this carbon tax scheme.
Careful what thy wish for .....

Yes but this message has not gotten out to the general public. That small tax being compounded at the farm, processor, multiple transports, wholesaler then retailer is going to add up huge.


On the butter thing, yes has gotten more expensive over the last number of years but part of it is due to the supply and demand factors that have changed in Dairy. The demand for cheese and butter has gone up huge the last 10yrs and outpaced the fluid milk consumption. The quota system has been changed to reflect that over time also. There are staring to be quite a few Jerseys (high milk fat) being milked again where 20yrs ago was virtually all holstein in western canada.

Ag minsiter BoBo is going to study if carbon taxes increase grain farmers cost of production. But Supply management will be granted increased milk, egg, poultry prices in the pricing formulas as a result of the carbon tax. Cant make this stuff up.

Bobo has been visiting a lot of Quebecer dairy farms lately to get her marching orders. Even though she is representing Canada, Bobo always points out the dairy owners she visits are “Quebecers”.

Furrow you are right on with your comment.....just drive around and look at gas..... nothing under $1.00 per litre infact $1.17 plus...look at food, parts, shipping costs, power and gas.....it’s all sky rocketing on account of a phucking ideological depressive anti product dream tax brought to you by the children government and the flakes they have running it.....

Truedope, climax Barbie, the uke from Peace River that needs a new wardrobe....::they remind me of the drama group kids in high school....udder useless, clueless, damage inflicting opportunity killing dopes.

Income is being drained at a rapid pace and we are all going to be poorer at the end of the day and wonder where the hell it all went.

These chickens are going to come home, how can land continue to go up? Equipment cost soar? Inputs come down nothing? Grain go down or stay the same.....seriously we can’t keep this up. I am glad I have been paying off debt the last 5 years rather than reinvesting it into a coat squeezed industry and a government that doesn’t have a clue and is doing more damage.

If you look at average fuel prices from 2011 -2014 you can see that prices before the carbon tax were much higher than now.

It was beginning of the end of the commodity boom that started while Harper was in office. Is Harper to blame?

Not in terms of oil price. Per liter pump price was higher than now but the price of oil was also more than double where it is now. And the problem is the price of oil will go back up sooner or later without question as there is no alternative and need is growing. Then what will the price be?

Not to Disrupt the thread , here is a sidenote
Gas at the pump has Not increased since Refinery lockout even though Coop says there is a shortage.... so if the price Didn’t rise, then there is no shortage and it’s just a PR scheme to get public on the Side of COOP

Fill farm gas tank at 25 cents a gallon was a long time ago when there was competition.
