Tariffs take care of that. American dairy isn't magic - it's just subsidized. Dairy tariffs will prevent American dairy from destroying our market. We ourselves don't have to subsidize it to the same extent the Americans do. Right now if you want to go into dairy farming your best option is to inherit a dairy farm. Barring that the barrier to entry for you to be able to legally milk a cow and sell the milk is absolutely massive. If you want to create higher quality milk? Well too bad it'll all get pooled anyways. SM is the most heavy handed way to manage any market and it's fundamentally unnecessary.
I'm with you.
I agree that SM isn't serving Canadians, and that we should have a system that protects domestic dairy farmers and other 'staple' producers as an essential part of our national food security infrastructure. A well regulated market is the answer here.
A bit of a nonsequiter but: Instead of trusting a precariously funded patchwork of volunteer organizations, we should have a national system for getting food to hungry Canadians. I think we should leverage the existing national food distribution oligopoly (Loblaw/Sobey) to accomplish this.
