"Tax Freedom Day is today in Canada. Food Freedom Day was March 21 — nearly three months ago. In the United States, Food Freedom Day arrived even earlier, on March 7. The comparison is striking: Canadians spend far more of their annual income covering taxes than putting food on the table. It's all a matter of perspective."

🚨 BREAKING: The Parliamentary Budget Officer has just confirmed the government’s fiscal plan is falling apart.

The PBO says there is less than a 1% chance the government will achieve its own deficit target.

Federal operating spending has been revised up to $142 billion. Economic growth continues to weaken. Canada is now in a recession.

Yet, as the country’s finances deteriorate, the Finance Minister still refuses to disclose the cost of a sovereign wealth fund that would be financed with $25 billion in borrowed money.

Canadians are being asked to take on more debt without being told the full price tag.

Parliament cannot properly scrutinize a fiscal plan when key costs are being withheld. If this is a sound investment, why is the government refusing to show Canadians the bill?

They are not Fake Conservatives.

I take that back

They are much worse than that

THEY ARE POISONOUS TRAITORS

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.
