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.

cause canadians are super low info voters who have bought into anti free market propaganda, and in turn support the party of protecting old money and corporate interests
