The scare quotes are on the wrong words.

In other words, lets keep pandering to Quebec.

Wonderfully ironic that Trump might force us to adopt rational economic policies, ain't it?

Canada's Dairy Lobby, likely our largest, is around $100,000,000 per year, all to protect 13,000 farmers (and screw 35,000,000 consumers), farmers who could likely thrive by scaling up for an export market that would open up for them once they lose supply management. Not only Mad Max, but Martha Hall Findlay (failed Liberal Leadership candidate) of the Canada West Foundation is against it. This where establishment Conservatives come across as fatally compromised libertarians.

I'm voting with my wallet, soy milk ftw!

There you have it. The Hypocrisy otherwise known as (note the large C) Conservatives.

"A bit of background: My riding has the most dairy farmers of any riding in the country... It’s Perth-Wellington. We have more dairy farmers than anywhere else, and I think we’re No. 1 for chicken and No. 3 or 4 for eggs."

Translation: "My riding has pocketed an inordinate slice of the billions of dollars extorted from middle and low income mothers and fathers."

Like any successful organized crime boss, he knows how to divert attention, "oh, look at the bunny / beer...

Be careful with the soy products. You do not want to turn into a Soy Boy.

Had a rancher buddy stop by this morning. He suggested that the national milk quota is controlled by a two guys? That was news to me but who knows how a monopoly might play out?
It seems like the country is being bilked by a small cabal of players. Why would anything change?

The "Conservative" from Ontario certainly reads like a damn fool in the interview.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

I'll take the tariff-free beer for starters. Then we can work on the milk, the eggs, the beef, and every other damn thing that's taxed in this idiot country.

You guys are crazy. You think they can take the whole thing down at one go? There's BILLIONS of dollars in play on this issue. It took 75 years to get this way, you can't rip it all down in a day.

Take the beer. I don't even drink beer any more, but I'll take it anyway. Then go after the next thing, and the next, and the next. That's how the Lefties got us here, an inch at a time. We win the same way. Shove them back an inch, then shove them again, and again, and again. Shove shove shove shove. Maybe the odd kick in the jewels to spice things up.

But just keep voting blue 'cause things'll change, amirite??

"So, your position is, free trade across provincial lines in beer, but not free trade across provincial lines in milk?"

To be fair, no one is going to charge you and take you to court for buying milk at the dépanneur in Cabano and then bringing it back to Edmundston (even more interesting: no one seems to care much at all if you buy smokes in one province and take them to another).*

* Heh. Which makes me wonder: now that marijuana will be legal, will potheads in Québec be able to slip over to the LCBO to pick up their supply if the price is better? And vice-versa?

Does soy contain estrogen? No - It contains phytoestrogens which in the human body are relatively weak and can actually bring benefits, such as a lowered risk of cancer, by 'blocking' actual estrogen. There is no evidence for soy disrupting sexual development in humans.

Many people claim that soy consumption will alter sex hormones in men. In several studies examining soy protein or isoflavone supplementation, men did not have significant changes in testosterone, free testosterone, estrogen, sex hormone binding globulin protein, or semen quality.

Cow milk is a source of estrogen in the diet and can constitute as much as 80% of your dietary intake of estrogen. Cows give milk while they are pregnant and nursing, so their estrogen levels are significantly higher. That’s why dairy has been proven, in controlled trials, to contribute to gynecomastia.

The irony is that pay forking out %50,000 every year for the right to sell milk, the farmer foregoes %50,000 dollars of investment in his business and there is no growth. Static, comfortable but wasteful.
