So, you are saying that the Canadian identity is to artificially distort the market so that a small percentage of people can be lazy as fuck while the rest of Canadians just try to be nice and get along with it??? I'm not a born and bred Canadian but that's not the Canadian identity that I have known before making the decision to become one.
The Canadian identity is to work hard to become better for ourselves, our family and ultimately our society by helping others while we can.
I agree with you on the helping others part. I'm all in for supporting the dairy industry to succeed by becoming MORE productive, but this whole quota system is broken as fuck. They lack of any incentive to become more productive because even if one producer decides to work harder and create more AND/OR better product, he/she can't sell it on the market because the amount and pricing are fixed.
See where I'm going with this? Trudeau can make a timeline to abolish supply management while putting a heavy incentive for farmers to grow and become more productive or better/more diversified. Farmers with large operation can grow bigger as they are volume-focused. Smaller farms can focus on high quality niche products demanding higher prices. This creates diversity in the market and drives out farmers whose operation isn't efficient and shouldn't be in this business in the first place.
With the current supply management system, you are NOT allowed to be better even if you wanted/abled to. Last time I checked, this is not what Canadian value is about.
