That is all bullshit from the anti oil liberals.

Apparently you missed what happened with Exxon, and BP in the Gulf?

Federal law.

Should still be up to the province of the people who live there to decide. IMO. And if the choose it, so be it.

Transfer payments help no one from Manitoba West.

No equalization maybe, but other transfers... seems like they all get help.

I don't especially care which one. Right now, it protects Ontario and Quebec farmers.

Um... no, actually. It USED to but looks like not so much.

2 million litres of milk dumped after Quebec dairy plant labour dispute

A labour dispute at a Quebec dairy plant has led to the dumping of 2 million litres of milk since Wednesday.

Seems like it gets dumped everywhere.

Point is, it should NOT work like this, I agree. There shouldn't be dumping anywhere, regardless, and it needs to change.

But seriously, you're so anti-anything east of Manitoba it's crazy. Even I don't have that big a bias against the West and that's even with Moesy and Smith in charge of Sask and Alberta.

Not in BC. They are forced to dump it. Even lamestream media covered it.

Bullshit.

There are certainly strengths and weaknesses to supply management, but many are critical of it from a consumer standpoint. As explained in a national Canadian newspaper: “Milk dumping…is done very deliberately to maintain high prices for Canadian milk. Ever since the 1970s, Canadian dairy farmers have been subject to a state-sanctioned cartel that artificially limits supply in order to drive up prices and ensure profitability for farmers.”

Malarkey. Who says this? Dairy producers who don't have guns? If you're spilling milk you're feeding too many cows. You shoot the overproducing cows and sell at $3.00 an lb.

Apparently, the western producer, the financial post, CTV, etc…it’s as far as I bothered to look because it was all coming up with the same answer. Maybe they’re all wrong.

Drama. You don't feed cows if they don't pay. PERIOD.
