THREATENING MARKETING BOARDS

Ottawa plans compensation for farmers to blunt impact of trade deal

  1. My wife and I rented a little RV in May and motored down through Montana. We stopped in Browning and we picked up a few groceries and my wife just dug up the receipt. Butter was $2.49 a pound, milk was $1.99 per gal, eggs were $1.29 per dozen. In our local Safeway this week butter is $4.99 a pound, milk is $4.49 for 4 liters, and a dozen eggs cost $2.99.

    I guess what I am trying to say is that as far as I am concerned the dairy farmers and egg producers have already been well paid for their quotas.

    1. "dairy farmers and egg producers have already been well paid for their quotas."

      Excellent point tj, but we know that this kind of logic just won't enter the picture. It is election year, so Harper will pay any ransom that the extortionists demand.

  2. Seeing how Quebec holds the bulk of the Canadian milk quota expect them to go bat shit crazy like their comrades in France, spewing milk out of tanker manure spreaders, when the SHTF.
