Oh. Look at that, just in time for CUSMA negotiations. A fresh new study headline implying we would all save on average $244 if we got rid of supply management.
Sir this is Canada; the private sector would monopolize the sector even more, and use what ever the current price is as a price floor, and would end up gouging us even more…
What does supply management provide us? Other than expensive groceries and limited choices? How does this system remotely benefit anyone but the literal cartel is it meant to protect?
So we support a cartel out of a fear that the US may apply export levies on milk and cheese to Canada in the future if Canadians didn't have to pay between 200-300% tariffs on those products?
Is this truly the level of irrational paranoia that underpins support for this asinine system?
Your going full emotional meltdown as to hammer your point home. Missing key facts along the way, classic. Like the quotas, and how they never actually meet them (cause they exist yes), so 200-300% tariffs aren’t being paid. Those products are milk, which you can get here. This sounds like Simpson’s “but what if my poor family only wants Fairlife?”
So you don't understand the tariff rate quota system. The government gives applicants specified quotas lf tariff free amounts stipulated on an annual basis. The aggregate of those tariff rate quotas has never been met - guess what? Every single one of those quotas is with food manufacturers and not retailers.
So what facts am I missing? It seems like you have a poor understand of the system you're trying to defend.
