@puravidadreams All we did was say 'No, thank you'. That was it!

Then our own Prime Minister demonizing us, calling us horrific names, banned us from society, from flights, and public spaces.

We weren't even allowed to eat with 'the good people' who did what the dictator wanted. Imagine!

@CityNewsTO Is this not just a distratction piece for the godfather of @cafreeland 's child?
Mark Carney was described as the 'Unreliable Boyfriend' during Brexit.
This is hysterical, actually! It's another classic juxtaposition of @MarkJCarney on @realDonaldTrump . Too funny!!

22 impressions in 2 days. Seriously?

It seems the Hall Monitor assigned to my account has a mandate to ensure no more than 30 people can possibly see my posts.

Can you help me send a message to @elonmusk that he still has too many leftist Tvvitter people on righteous X?

Tks!!

A Syrian- Canadian group used the correct spelling of his name as recently as a few months ago.

Two names, two faces, for two audiences, kind of like the guy he reports to.

[Mark O'Farrell @MarkOFarrell9]

I'm sure @MarkGerretsen would be happy to explain. He posted about it so much at the time that you'd think he brought the project from China himself.

You have all the figures, right, Mark?

CHARLEBOIS: The Canada Royal Milk story Ottawa doesn't want to explain📷
-Canadians deserve to know how much public money has been committed to the project-
The facility was never primarily designed to serve Canadian consumers. Early planning documents projected that approximately 85% of production would be exported to China. Canada was expected to account for only a small fraction of sales. In other words, from the outset, Kingston was envisioned as an export platform.
The documents also strongly suggest that exports have already occurred to markets including China and potentially the United States.
That fact alone raises important questions. And all of this is occurring while Canada continues to face periodic baby formula shortages and Canadian parents are paying the price. Over the past five years alone, baby formula prices have increased by more than 70% in Canada.
That is why newly released government records related to Canada Royal Milk in Kingston, Ont. deserve far more attention than they have received.
The story began a few years ago, when construction started on what would become Canada’s largest infant formula manufacturing facility. Owned by Chinese dairy giant Feihe, the project was celebrated as a major investment in Canada’s dairy sector.
After years of regulatory reviews and approvals, the company received authorization from Health Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency in March 2024. Production began shortly thereafter, and in July 2024 Canada Royal Milk officially launched its Niuriss infant formula brand.
On the surface, it looks like a success story. Jobs were created. Manufacturing capacity was added. Canadian farmers gained another customer for their milk. The company invested heavily in Canada.
But newly released documents reveal a much larger story.
What the documents reveal
The facility was never primarily designed to serve Canadian consumers. Early planning documents projected that approximately 85% of production would be exported to China. Canada was expected to account for only a small fraction of sales. In other words, from the outset, Kingston was envisioned as an export platform.
The documents also strongly suggest that exports have already occurred to markets including China and potentially the United States.
That fact alone raises important questions. And all of this is occurring while Canada continues to face periodic baby formula shortages and Canadian parents are paying the price. Over the past five years alone, baby formula prices have increased by more than 70% in Canada.
For decades, Canadians have been told that supply management exists to ensure domestic food security, protect Canadian farmers, and reduce dependence on foreign markets. Yet here we have a Chinese-owned processor operating within one of Canada’s most protected agricultural sectors, purchasing milk produced under a quota-protected system while pursuing opportunities beyond Canada’s borders.
The issue is not legality. There is no evidence that Canada Royal Milk has violated any law, regulation, or trade commitment.
The issue is consistency.
How much public money has been spent?
Canadians also deserve to know how much public money has been committed to the project. Public records show that at least $24 million in federal support has been provided. Newly released documents indicate the company sought additional assistance through Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s Supply Management Processing Investment Fund, while portions of the records remain redacted.
Questions that need answers
Canadians deserve answers to a few straightforward questions.
How much taxpayer money has ultimately been invested in the project?
How much supply-managed Canadian milk is being used to manufacture products destined for foreign markets?
What volumes have already been exported, and to which countries?
And perhaps most importantly: If supply management is about food sovereignty, why are Canadians being asked to subsidize a Chinese-owned dairy processor exporting products made from quota-protected Canadian milk?
Supply management remains one of the most politically protected policies in Canada. Liberals defend it. Conservatives rarely challenge it. The Bloc Quebecois treats it as untouchable. Yet public confidence in any public policy depends on transparency.
Canadians who pay a premium every time they buy dairy products deserve to know who benefits from the system, how it is being used, and whether public investments remain aligned with its original purpose.
This is really an accountability story. And before Canada enters another round of trade negotiations, Ottawa should be able to answer a simple question: If supply management is designed to protect Canadian food sovereignty, why are Canadians helping finance a Chinese-owned dairy plant whose original business model relied overwhelmingly on exports?
At the moment, Canadians only know part of the answer. That should concern us all.

“We can’t depend on America.” 🇺🇸

Do you see the contradiction?

@Dallas_Brodie More on Truth and Rec: We're paying $88 Million PER DAY, to indigenous peoples, with ZERO accountability, who don't have drinking water, in 2026.

'Oh, but statues of men who were dead and buried long after the fact are the problem!'

Can we puhlese take a moment here??!!

[Mark O'Farrell @MarkOFarrell9]

@Dallas_Brodie I don't know about other hard working, tax paying Canadians but I'm ready for both parts of Truth and Reconciliation.
The truth is there are no missing graves, the schools were requested by the chiefs, there was no genocide, and it's time to cancel and repay the $32B per year.

[Mark O'Farrell @MarkOFarrell9]

Might I add, the reserves are one of the hotbeds of all of the fentanyl and illegal cigarette trade entering the U.S. , which is WHY we have tariffs?

We're FUNDING, to the tune of $32 Billion per year, the criminals that are destroying our economy and international reputation.

Quiggin is not lying about this.
Why do Liberals support government gaslighting?

[Tom Quiggin @TomTSEC]

Hodgson is lying about this.
Construction of phase one started in 2021. Planning for the whole project began after survey work in 2013. The Major Projects Office played no real role in this.

[Mark O'Farrell @MarkOFarrell9]

@SandraCobena_ Can we please begin by refraining from gaslighting Canadians with misleading names?

This is a Sovereign Debt Fund, 'the SDF'. If we all refer to it as such going forward, at least less informed Canadians will understand that it isn't our money we're talking about 'investing'.

@QueenAnticommie As a busboy, server, bartender, kitchen manager, general manager of multi-million dollar restaurants, I can fix this for you.

If you want them, EARN them! Great work is greatly rewarded!

(If you don't... the government is still hiring.)
