Trudeau Government plays dirty games on Farmers

Huigen said the excess milk could go to low-income families or food banks, or even donated to hospitals, but instead it is ordered dumped by the regulators of the system.

Milk production in Canada is controlled by a national supply management system that also has provincial arms at work. Farmers have a quota of how much milk they can produce — a quota that must be purchased. No farmer is allowed to sell or distribute more milk than their quota allows.

Dumping milk has been going on since the start of the system to control supply, and thus price, but few people know about this dirty dairy secret.
