My issue with grocery prices is that then the war started and commodities skyrocketed... groceries came up, albeit slowly, and was blamed on that. Now commodities come back down and there is no drop in price, but rather its blamed on inflation
..etc..etc. so i dunno. Pick your lane and stick to it.
Supply management.. now thats a completely different story and argument.
I went to University in new york state and they have atleast 5 times more dairy product brands and types of dairy products than we have. The cost is ( to date) roughly 40% of what we pay here in canada and im willing to bet that they have no more cases/ capita of reactions to antibiotics or dairy product poisoning than we have. Now, im sure a stat will show they have MORE cases.. but i doubt its any more PER CAPITA. Now some of you are dairy farmers that read this and we work with a neighbour dairy farm ( they give us manure..we give them straw to bail) etc.. i will never say a bad word about their work ethic or their costs being more fixed than the avg farmer.. BUT ive watched them.dump out milk because its beyond quota.
Think about that for a sec.
Dumping out milk.
Milk. Which we eat and make so many products out of... gets dumped out. Because they did too good of a job with their cows producing it .
Dumping
Out
Milk
Its so effing beyond stupid that anyone with a pulse should be up in arms when we are now avging 3$/ L for milk in Canada as per latest stats.
Dumping
Out
Milk.
You know who can boil milk and make homemade cheese, butter and milk stuffs? I can. And i have. But not with that dumped out milk bcuz they could lose their effing quota. Anyone with even 1 100th of a 10nth of a brain would see how ludicrous our system is and that you could easily scrap the quota system but keep a complete ban on antibiotics and such being introduced into the animal. Its not rocket science.
You know what else isnt rocket science?
The fact that my local food bank just took all of my garden potatoes...cukes...zukes..carrots... etc. People are hurting.
And here we are.. dumping
Out
Milk.
What a joke.
What a complete and
Udder
Joke.

Also, there is no viable response to anything i wrote about the quota system.
There just isnt. Its absurd. Its horse crap. Food is political and the quota system will never be scrapped because every one running for prime.minister is too scraed of losing the french vote
You know it
I know it
Chuck knows it
Pierre knows it
Notley singh blah blah everyone knows it. And its disgusting whats happening.
I would love to see a private wealthy citizen taking all that over quota milk and pastuerize it then sell it for peanuts on the dollar.
