If you google "supply management" today, hundreds of article pop up.Most of them would be grounds for legal action if supply management was a company.
As the media continues its relentless onslaught against the system of supply management, one has to wonder exactly who they are satisfying and why.
I thought I lived in a democracy with a free press. They are free all right, free to embellish, lie and ignore.
Why is it that not one reporter has sought to find out what the system really means to farmers? No one even seems prepared to tell their side of the story in spite of mountains of comments full of information that should make people pause.
The issues about the safety and security of our food supply (remember the China syndrome?) and the need for safe secure local food supply seem to have gone missing too.
If we cannot depend on our press and media to give us some reality and truth where can we find it? - cg
