“But it seems the Quebec Farmer Milk Mafia isn’t leaving us alone.”

It’s still available here: Quebec Milk Board levies $70K fine on Quebec monastery in milk sting

Brownsburg, Quebec – The devout nun in charge of administration insists she didn’t swear after she opened and read the letter in late August, addressed to her monastery from the Quebec Milk Marketing Board, but admits she did gasp in disbelief.
 
Then she picked up the phone and asked, “what in Heaven’s name is this all about?”
 
The August 19th letter from the Les Producteurs du Lait du Quebec (PLQ) to the Mesdames at the Saint Monastere Vierge – Marie la Consolatrice, on their 265-acre farm in the rocky, bush hills north of Montreal, didn’t mince words.
 
The letter, written in French and given to Ontario Farmer by the nuns, was translated into English.
 
After ‘an investigation’ by the PLQ, it ‘leads us to believe’ that over the past two and a half years “you have produced and/or marketed a volume of 38,304 litres of milk without the knowledge of the PLQ and without holding quota,” it stated.
 
“In consequence, by virtue of article 18 of the Regulations, a penalty of $53,207.00 has been imposed on you. In addition, a penalty of $20,000 has been imposed on you by virtue of article 8.03 of the Conventions,” stated the letter.
 
In bold print the letter stated, “as of today you must make payment within 10 days of receipt of this notice of $73,207.00 to the PLQ.”
 
The letter concluded, “govern yourself accordingly.”

Quebec dairy cartel… rings a bell.

  1. It is a foreign country and we should have nothing to do with it. People in the West please separate so the dominos can begin to fall. The sooner the better.

      1. Max who? Oh you mean that Vichy traitor? Stick a fork in him. He’s done. Aladdin no longer requires his services.

    1. “Elections have consequences.”

      Says an Aladdin supporter.

      “So do leadership conventions and party platforms.”

      That your beloved Maxipad could have been challenging Dairy Queen for now, had he not been a traitor working for Aladdin.

    2. Elections in Canada have no consequences as we have just witnessed. When all parties are progressive green scammers with the exception of Max and as a Quebec pol who knows what he is. What are the consequences?

      1. “When all parties are progressive green scammers with the exception of Max”

        Yes. Max was not a party. Evidence? Max holds no parliamentary seat. Max was a wannabe.
        Had Max run as an independent like his daddy did and not pretended to be a party, …well he might still have a seat, again like daddy.
        Seems that those Max duped are staying duped and yelling La La La La Laaa with fingers in their ears. Still, Max weren’t no party.

        1. The stupidity of the average Canadian socialist will never permit the election of any truly conservative in Canada. The incessant babbling about the PPC and Max will not alter the fact that fools are fools.

    1. Robert the colon is and always has been an ignorant of fact blow hard, great example of the dunning- Kruger effect

  2. Marketing boards exist because, for the most part, Canadians are a bunch of ignorant assholes.

    1. No. I believe we will have a constitutional republic, if I get any input in the matter.
      I would hope all vestiges of colonialism are eliminated. Free market capitalism will have the new free republic stable and growing. We need a republic for it’s 3 equal branches of government. This is the best way, that I know of, to keep control of government power, and the inevitable overreach of said power. That is EXACTLY what ails us today, a tyrannical federal government destroying the oil industry in Alberta. Also, I believe canola farmers are having a hard time now, with China blocking our imported grain.

      1. “I would hope all vestiges of colonialism are eliminated.”

        Yes, I agree. And Mercantilism gone too. I have little doubt that the Republic of Alberta will be a manufacturing giant.

  3. Soooooo, I guess the fact that Scheer didn’t win over rural Quebec means, the Quebec dairy farmers did fulfill their part of the deal with Scheer and the CPC in getting rural support.
    Deal not fulfilled = deal off the table!

    1. The supply management lobbyists, the biggest lobby in the land according to The Canada West foundation, aren’t stupid. They knew the only potential source of opposition to their monopolistic, gouging, protectionist ways was possibly the CPC, and, being led by a smiling idiot, it was an easy sell.

    2. and it could mean that scheep was the Turd’s useful idiot. One has to wonder what it cost us tax payers for the liberals to buy the dairy cartel to infest the conservative party. Maybe the colon has the answer, as he appears to be a libtard shill

  4. Could it be, the worst part of separating will be how little dairy we will have to start?

    They’ll ask for$20B in cheese subsidies or send some guys to break our legs.

    Now I’m wondering if I can buy Wisconsin cheese futures. Or break the sweat of setting up a US buyer/shipper/importer and lobbying the king of Saskberta —Buffalo–Rupertsland for import indulgences?

    Of course there is always powdered milk and questionable spray cheese from your cold-war readiness horde.

      1. You know, edible oil products. They are to cheese as Nutri-Whip is to whipped cream.

        The flavour and texture can come close, but if you ever try to melt them during cooking you’ll discover there’s a big difference.

        1. Thanks for the explanation. As a kid, I loved grilled Velveeta cheese sandwiches, while my Dad insisted that he would only eat aged Cracker Barrel cheese. Velveeta is akin to plastic in my view, now.

        2. ha ha !!!
          yep.
          never bought anymore after that experiment.
          ha ha ha !!!
          ‘edible oil product’ ya right. that mean I can smear it on my bicycle chain in a pinch? LOL !!!

  5. We should all join the Bloc Quebecois, then when enough of us do, DEMAND that Quebec leave Canada.

    https://contribution.bloc.org/informations.php

    From their website:

    “To become a member , you must be 16 years of age or older, but you can reside anywhere in the world.”
    “To become a member of the Bloc Québécois is to actively support the noblest objective, that of giving oneself a country.”

  6. Without the knowledge of the PLQ? A likely story. The Greek Orthodox convent is recommended on the Tourisme Québec website as a local attraction and has been written about by the CBC.

    Here are my thoughts as to what may really be going on.

    After buying an abandoned farm in 1993, the nuns spent the next 25 years re-building the place from the ground up. Now that the place is actually worth something, some rich scumbag wants it for a hobby farm/”agrotouristic” hotel to keep his trophy wife occupied and far away from Montreal’s Haitian and Arab stallions. And he has no intention of paying the nuns what the place is worth.

  7. The problem of the republic of any seperated province(s) is the large population areas. As long as you have big cities you have a breeding ground for globalists/socialists/communists AKA progressives. Until we solve this problem we will continue down this creeping communist rat hole.

  8. Clearly what canaduh needs is an oil and gas marketing board. Run by Alberta and Saskatchewan of course.

    1. They’re Orthodox nuns, which is to say actual Christians. Their website is not shy about pointing out that the homosexual predators that style themselves the Roman Catholic Church are the heretics.

      Quebec’s elites know who the nuns work for. That’s another reason they want them shut down.

  9. The letter concluded, “you have developed bad habits.”

    Sorry, I was a bit lait getting here. (oeuf)

  10. The Canadian dairy industry is representative of everything that is wrong with this country.

    It should be kicked into trash bin to join the wheat board.

    WTF is wrong with us?

    1. “WTF is wrong with us?”

      Us? Oh, you mean you Canadians. Here in Alberta, we had farmers arrested and spend Christmas season in jail to fight the wheat board.

      Hey Alberta Dairy Farmers! I’d buy your “over quota” dairy products.
      Here’s an idea for you. A few years back, I tried to buy Australian canned cheese to stock my war supply. Couldn’t get any. Canada won’t import canned cheese, although no long shelf life canned cheese product is made anywhere in Canada. Get to it Alberta dairy farmers.

  11. My brother in Quebec used to have a few chickens on his rural property. One dag a large italian guy showed on behalf of the Egg Management board showed up and told him they needed to be culled.

    A real good fella

  12. In the 1950’s and 1960’s the Texas Milk Mafia shut down all small dairy farms in the state through such machinations, including my father’s, and only large corporate dairies are left.

  13. PLQ?
    any relation to the FLQ that *other* kaybeck terrorist organization?
    maybe sumbuddy can give POTUS Trump a call considering his recent success dealing with a terrorist.

  14. The dairy cartel is a sop to quebek courtesy of bongo’s old man. It’s all about quebek….
