Distribution of the benefit is slightly skewed?
Quebec has 1/3 more than the 4 western provinces.
BC and Alberta have 10% more people.

As usual, the benefit is more clearly explained with the addition of population data. Let me be more clear - once again we get _____ by Quebec. Welcome to Canada.

the buyout for the quota will be in the hundreds of billions of dollars...unlike the western canada crow payout of a paltry billion and the payout to the middle east when the cwb was mercifully killed

Clearly that sux. But its not going to fix itself. And we can't screw over the dairymen who in good conscience paid millions of dollars for a piece of paper. That buyout is only going to get worse the longer we put off making it.

My memory isn't great and I'm not wanting to dredge up old fights. Original buyout for the crow rate was $50b, remember pepin?....but the nfu and other orgs trying to protect farmers kept the gov kicking the can down the road till gooddale just hammered down and said a billion take it or leave it, the crow is dead.
I don't have an answer for how the quota system needs to be resolved but I do agree Family farms with a lot of quota debt should be very wary of what may come.
Actually any farm with a bunch of debt should be very wary...lol
