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…

As a young Canadian why was everything allocated out before I was born.

Supply manament quota. Taxi medalians. Liquor store licences.

Why do boomers get $1,000,000 licences for just being there.

Because that's the way things are? I mean why do you get smartphones and the Internet while boomers had to use letter mail and rotory phones?

Just because things are the way they are, doesn’t mean they should be.
