U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats to levy tariffs on Canadian dairy products have rekindled criticisms of the unfairness inherent in Canada’s supply management system.
Millions of gallons of milk dumped every year to control the supply while Canada's families cannot afford overpriced dairy products. Remember covid scam when thousand of pounds of butter was put in storage financed by the crooked Liberals to keep the prices high. The biggest joke is the cartel advertising dairy products on legacy media like Canadians have a choice.
It is remarkable that a politician should criticize supply management, which is bad for consumers and is now bad for all Canadians, when people who are supply management promoters live just outside his backyard? I support him for that alone. I remember travelling through Maine to get to New Brunswick faster. I neglected to think I might get thirsty during the trip. I only had one American quarter with me but hoped I could find something anyway. Alas, I found a half-pint of milk for 25 cents. In Quebec the cost was double! That a privileged few should be the only ones to benefit is wrong.
Then regulate what can be in the product. If an American producer can produce products compliant with our regulations then they should be abel to sell her. Limiting competition is idiotic. We can't get a free trade agreement with the UK Becauae of the same supply management rules. Enough is enough.
And Quebec dairy farmers breed holsteins into monster holsteins, which authorities approve over handing out larger quotas or new quotas to new farmers, assuming a greater production is needed, which it isn't.
Bill. That may happen in Quebec where most things that happen are shady, but I have numerous dairy farmer friends in western Canada and they have to follow strict rules imposed by Supply Management.
Every discussion about how unfair supply management is in the dairy industry fails to talk about the huge subsidies paid by the US government to their dairy industry. Ditch the subsidies and ditch supply management or keep the tariffs, they're not unfair given the circumstances (in spite of what the noisy little orange man says).

Dairy products in the US are cheaper because they are allowed to use growth hormones
and numerous antibiotics that Canadian dairy farmers don’t use, thus keeping us healthier. I fully support supply management.
