CBC, this morning, platformed a dairy farmer as if he were just another ordinary small business owner facing “uncertainty” and “psychological impacts” from U.S. tariffs—right alongside a sole-proprietor wig maker What they carefully omitted: he is a member of Canada’s government-protected dairy supply-management cartel. The system that sets production...

🚨Debunking Canadian Dairy Claims: ➡️Claim 1: “American dairy farmers never hit the 250% tariff. We never charge your dairy farmers that!” Answer: Because U.S. farmers stay under the quota on purpose. They self-restrict. They could easily blow past it. They don’t, because anything over the line triggers a 250% tariff that would wipe out their margins. Canada’s dairy supply-management system, govt production quotas, administered prices, and sky-high over-quota tariffs is used by no other OECD country. A protected, politically powerful cartel that inflates prices, restricts output, blocks fair competition, reduces choice and is extremely wasteful. ➡️Claim 2: "We're reliable trading partners & don't violate trade trade agreements." 🇳🇿New Zealand, Australia, UK, Mexico, not just the U.S. would disagree. Both the USMCA & the CPTPP required Canada to grant limited extra dairy access. 🇺🇸Under the USMCA, the U.S. was promised access to about 3.5% of Canada’s dairy market. 🇦🇺Under the 2018 CPTPP in force for Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, Canada also promised to open about 3.3% of its dairy market to CPTPP partners. However, Canada then administered those quotas in ways that BLOCKED the access it had promised in both agreements. The U.S. won a USMCA panel over that quota system. New Zealand won a CPTPP panel over the same basic problem & Australia joined the CPTPP case as a 3rd party. 🫵When multiple trading partners say the problem is you, maybe the problem is you. New Zealand dismantled a similar supply management system in the early 1990s so it could compete on open markets. Canada is free to keep this archaic system. At the same time, other countries are equally free to walk away from trade from a country whose market is this closed, costly, incompatible with fair competition, and repeatedly fails to deliver the access it promised. ➡️Claim 3: "But U.S. dairy contains rBST/growth hormone!" False. While it's legal in the U.S., less than 2% of farmers use it according to the Food Professor on Clyde Do Something 🇺🇸🇨🇦 podcast. ➡️Claim 4: “But the U.S. & other countries subsidize their dairy industries too!” 😡 Not all subsidies are created equal. Examine which is more unfair. Supply management is by far the more distorting to a market. Constant govt price-setting & output control is far more unfair than the short-term crisis or disaster payments used by the U.S. & other countries. Those countries use short term subsidies that are not built into the market as a permanent cartel. Canada should stop being the outdated outlier and, if it insists on support, subsidize in a temporary way that most other countries use. Ideally there would be no subsidies. But if there is a choice, short term payments are far fairer than the current systemic supply-managed cartel.

Peter Armstrong prepares the way for CBC viewers to accept the dumping of supply management. If the Japanese can dump protections for rice farmers... "There's about 1,700,000 to a million rice farmers in Japan." "There's about 9,000 dairy farmers in Canada." "...not a lot of debate in the economics community about the benefits of, of, of supply management, that, you know, there's a lot of people who say, look, this artificially keeps the price of milk high for Canadian families." "What are we doing protecting that as opposed to trying to make a deal with Trump?" "A little bit like they are in Japan, that, that opening up of the rice market, deeply protected, hugely important, and almost symbolic to Japanese people." Peter Armstrong

Watch this whole segment with Trevor Tombe and Pamela Wallin discuss supply management "And so at the end of the day, I suspect, despite the rhetoric that a federal government government would not jeopardize the entire Canadian economy in order to protect a very, very small handful of now largely corporate interests in dairy production within, within Canada" "...So we can't just keep pretending like the current system is not a problem." "It's a problem for consumers, it's a problem for our partners, not just the United States." "...And the simple transition here could be something where we levy a tax on milk and we use the revenue from that tax to compensate farmers for the lost quota value." "And that might not sound great like, oh, a tax on milk, but there's a way to have the tax be actually less than the cost we're implicitly paying right now in the form of more expensive milk because of the supply management system." Trevor Tombe Pamela Wallin

Canadian food sovereignty is prioritized on where your base is located Canada’s dairy industry is concentrated in Quebec and Ontario (roughly two-thirds of national milk quota and the vast majority of the ~9,000 dairy farms). It operates under full supply management: production quotas, administered prices, and sky-high over-quota tariffs that keep most imports out. When trade talks threaten even modest extra access, politicians of all stripes and industry groups invoke “food sovereignty” as non-negotiable. Defending it is treated as a core national interest Canada’s beef industry is concentrated in the West—Alberta alone holds about 43% of the national cattle herd, with Saskatchewan and the rest of the Prairies making up most of the remainder. It faces open (or near-open) competition. Cheap Australian beef shows up on Loblaws shelves at half the Canadian price, retailers call it “choice and value,” and the response is mostly shrugs, quality caveats, or quiet acceptance that North American herds are tight. No equivalent political panic about food sovereignty. No production quotas or 200%+ tariffs to wall it off Same country. Same language of food security when it suits. One sector is treated as strategically essential and politically sacred because of where the votes and farms are. The other is expected to compete globally, absorb import competition, and absorb the weather and cost shocks that come with it That’s the fundamental difference: food sovereignty appears to matter a great deal when the industry is Quebec/Ontario-based and supply-managed. It becomes optional when the industry is Western-based and market-exposed The Food Professor

Canada clings to its dairy supply management system like it's sacred, despite dairy trade being a tiny sliver of the massive US-Canada relationship Dairy Farmers president David Weins says US exports ~$1B+ in dairy to Canada annually, while importing just ~$390M — a huge surplus for the US. Yet Canada defends rigid quotas, high tariffs, and barriers as vital for "food sovereignty." Total bilateral trade? Nearly $880 billion. Dairy? A rounding error Meanwhile, Dairy Farmers of Canada — the main lobby group — pulls in nearly $70 million annually and maintains an outsized presence in Ottawa with hundreds of meetings per year pushing for even more protections (like Bill C-282) This isn't about protecting Canadian farms from collapse — it's entrenched protectionism that limits competition, raises prices for Canadian consumers, and ignores how freely the US market already buys Canadian goods Time to drop the excuses and open up. Free trade shouldn't have literal sacred cows

BOOM! Extraordinary that we have to hear this from a former British MP on CBC And Ian Hanomansing acts surprised after CBC and Liberal MPS called people racist for saying what Andrew Percy says here: "I think there are, and one of the biggest ones is, of course, in the UK, the electorate told me people who were in elected office, three elections, the Brexit referendum in, two general elections, were concerned about the large numbers of and the failings of the immigration system." And he describes CBC "And to be perfectly frank, we in the mainstream didn't in fact, too many people in the mainstream closed down legitimate criticisms of the immigration system." And more about CBC "By telling anybody who wanted to raised some legitimate concerns that they were a bigot or a racist, we've ended up fueling, I think, the rise of this populism." ON CBC!

Ian Lee on supply management "I think the Americans felt tricked in the last round of negotiations that they got access to producers but not to actual stores for their dairy." " I think every Canadian has to ask the question, are we going to sabotage a potential, potential trade agreement to save that's going to benefit 40 million Canadians to save 9,000 dairy farmers and mostly located in eastern Ontario and Quebec." "And, and I, and I think we will conclude as Australia did in New Zealand in 2000 when they ended supply management, it's easier to compensate those farmers generously and bring this system to an, to an end." "It will also bring down prices for milk dairy products because in Canada they were doubled as part of the supply management arrangement." Sprott School of Business at Carleton University

This deal is beneficial for every single farmer in this country. We are thankful to the government for its stance in favor of our farmers. The results will be there for us.”

CBC spent a 9/11 commemoration in Gander treating the invited U.S. ambassador as the story Pete Hoekstra said the day was about the dead, the stranded passengers, and the town that took them in. CBC kept steering it back to tariffs, “51st state” talk, and whether he should have been allowed in the building. That is not reporting a ceremony. That is using a memorial as a vehicle The transcripts are not subtle. Anchors and reporters loop the same lines: he has “drawn the ire,” he is “Trump’s man,” some people “don’t even want him here,” there was a petition, Gander had to issue a statement that September 11 is bigger than politics. Then they cut to Hoekstra saying, again, that this is about thanking Gander and that the economic fight can wait. CBC treats that answer as an obstacle to be worked around rather than the point of the day That pattern is the inflammatory part. A publicly funded broadcaster with a large older audience does not have to invent a trade war. It only has to keep naming the ambassador, the tariffs, and the sovereignty rhetoric in the same breath as a 25-year-old act of hospitality. Viewers who already dislike the administration get a fresh reason to stay angry. Viewers who came for the history get the current fight instead. The town’s organizers wanted the focus on 2001. The coverage did not Gander’s record that week was practical and decent: planes on the ground, people housed, fed, and treated as guests. Turning the anniversary into another round of “can you believe they invited him” is the opposite of that instinct. If the relationship is strained, the strain is not clarified by making a memorial the latest venue for it. CBC chose to inflame anyway Brodie Fenlon

Ian Lee offers a wake-up call on Canada-US trade leverage: “Why don’t we Canadians tariff products that will hurt them, like potash, oil and gas?” “These are the natural resources. Natural resources are commodities. That means there’s a single price… Most of those natural resource commodities are a world price and you can source them… often from other countries around the world.” On size: “The totality of our exports, 400 billion going to the States is 1.5% of US GDP. And I don’t think anyone’s going to argue you can bring down any company or country because they lose 1.5%.” “Even if we eradicated all exports to the United States, it would affect 1.5% of US GDP.” “They’re so large at 32 trillion and we are relatively so small that we don’t have the leverage or the clout or the muscle… to inflict serious pain on the United States.” “This is arithmetic, this isn’t theory. The numbers do not support the idea that a 2 trillion economy can devastate a 32 trillion economy that can source from the rest of the world.” Commodities have world prices. Canada’s entire export book to the US is a rounding error on a $32T economy. That’s the constraint Sprott School of Business at Carleton University

Rosie with Danielle Smith on the separatists... you don't see her get this confrontational with other premiers, Carney or Liberal MPs. Look at Barton's aggressive body language cutting in while Smith is answering... Smith "I just feel like it's my job to allow for a bit of a pressure release valve. If people feel this way, they need an avenue to be able to express it." Rosie " That seems risky to me, particularly at a time when there are real threats to our sovereignty that are coming from the outside." Inserting her opinion has become commonplace Smith "If this is an acute issue that we're facing because of the last 10 years of being treated so badly by Trudeau, if there is a new government, there's sort of a recognition of whether or not he's moving in the right direction." "The person who's leading the petition campaign is a gun shop owner, and he has a federal government that has made him a criminal for part of his inventory that he holds, made his customers criminals with just the stroke of a pen. And those are the kind of things that are unnecessary when we have so much we can agree on." "There's a whole series of things that the Trudeau Liberals did that went not only against our economy, but also against our values and way of life." "I said I believe in a sovereign Alberta within a united Canada federal government that stays in its areas. Jurisdiction that honors and respects our areas of jurisdiction, treats us with respect, allows us to develop our wealth so that we can all benefit." "I actually, I do believe the citizen initiative is a mechanism for people to address things that we as a government would not put on the table." Danielle Smith Brodie Fenlon

THE TRUTH ON TARIFFS: Trump's claim that Canada holds an unfair advantage due to 250% tariffs on U.S. dairy products is misleading. In reality, the U.S. exports approximately $1.03 billion worth of dairy products annually to Canada, virtually ALL TARIFF-FREE. That's right—these U.S. dairy exports enter Canada with a 0% tariff. On the other hand, the U.S. imports only about $293 million in dairy products from Canada each year, significantly less than what it exports to Canada. The "250% tariffs" that Trump references apply exclusively to dairy imports above Canada's established quota limits. Such quota limits are rarely surpassed, as the U.S. already exports far more dairy products to Canada than Canada exports to the U.S.—more than three times as much, in fact. This is what MAGA does. They create huge controversies out of nothing, as a way to try and sell a narrtive.

Old video, but worth watching again He dumps 30,000 litres of milk at the end of the month. On purpose. Because the quota system says so. Watch him. It breaks his heart. He grew up on a dairy farm. Work. Work. Work. And this is where it lands. Canadian families still pay through the nose at the till. A premium bottle in that barn is sitting near eight bucks. Regular milk is still expensive. And usable milk is going down the drain. He says farmers have no say anymore. The board decides. Ottawa protects the system. Then writes compensation cheques when the trade file blows a hole in it. Billions already paid to keep supply management “intact.” Meanwhile a guy in the parlor has to dump product he produced. That is not a farmer failing. That is a protected system failing Canadians on both ends. Food wasted. Prices high. Nobody at the grocery store gets a vote. #cdnpoli #CanadaFirst

"I’m astounded that Ottawa isn't pointing out that Canada has experienced much higher food inflation than the United States, even with a tariff-happy president in the White House. The explanation is simple: exporters to the U.S. are largely “eating” Trump’s tariffs. As a result, American consumers aren’t bearing as much of the cost as Canadians may assume. So the 50% tariffs taking effect August 19 on Canadian dairy products and liquor will therefore be absorbed largely by Canadian companies—not American consumers."

Matt Damon participated in Howard Zinn's great "The People Speak" series, and read out a great speech by Zinn about the importance of civil disobedience, which is as apt today as when he first wrote it in 1970: "I start from the supposition that the world is topsy-turvy, that things are all wrong, that the wrong people are in jail, and the wrong people are out of jail. That the wrong people are in power, and the wrong people are out of power. I start from the supposition that all we have to do is think about the state of the world today, and realize that things are all upside down. If you don't think, if you listen to TV, read scholarly things, you actually begin to think that things are not so bad. Or that just little things are wrong. But you have to get a little detached, and then come back and look at the world, and you are horrified. So we have to start from that supposition—that things are really topsy-turvy. And our topic is topsy-turvy: civil disobedience. As soon as you say the topic is civil disobedience, you are saying our problem is civil disobedience. That is not our problem…. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is the numbers of people all over the world who have obeyed the dictates of the leaders of their government and have gone to war, and millions have been killed because of this obedience. And our problem is that scene in All Quiet on the Western Front where the schoolboys march off dutifully in a line to war. Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world, in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves, and all the while the grand thieves are running the country. That’s our problem."
