It's time again for the annual Doha Round emergence of Right Wing extreme editorial comments! I can't believe I missed this one! Neil Reynolds, writing for Report on Business has come up with another editorial that targets dairy farmers and their system of supply management.
This one is entitled: "Make dairy farmers an offer they can't refuse" June 15, 2007. Reading through the article just makes me very angry. Many of the same old assumptions about the industry are rife, through-out. Not only doesn't he 'get it' about supply management ...... he doesn't 'get it' about the whole issue of the dangers surrounding imported foods, period.
The best way to protect consumers is to continue to support domestic food production and a decent standard of living for domestic farmers!
'Save the Doha round'.... indeed. If Canada is stupid enough to even consider this, with what has been happening lately and the eye opening scandal around imported foods, we are doomed.
But with ideas out there to 'integrate' North America.... it would be a good way to even that playing field in a hurry. Simply apply the New Zealand model asap and you are set.
God save us all from fools and economists. -CG
