A special video here, of a special family. The Schuurman's of Elmira, Ont who traveled across Canada on @CdnMilkTour to raise awareness of the dairy industry. At Queens Park today they met with @fordnation & @PremierScottMoe. We stand with our dairy farmers! #cdnmilktour #onpoli

@KenSchaus With that kind of margin, surely someone will figure out to get it moved east?

Celebrating #Thanksgiving in #Canada on the second Monday of October is part of our culture. Supply management is part of our culture. Changes to a country's culture are hard to swallow. Here's why the #USMCA is about more than money https://t.co/VN9fPJAQBa #supplymanagement

Unblievably sad. If only Canadians knew what the leverage of 120 billion dollars amounts to in the economy of real families, they'd get it instantly. Criminally stupid anti-Western politics is a serial thief stealing from our children - never caught, cuffed, or convicted.

@Fischerlind Wow...nice timeline. Anne and I were just admiring the resemblance of your kids and your younger years. Congrats!

@NDubuc Martin Harverstor just north of Mount Forrest will rent a processor/harvestor for around $30/ac. He will mount controls in your cab. He will also sell you used Deere or NH ready to go with processor. Has been great to deal with. [phone]

#ontag soybean prices have been directly effected by the US and China tariff trade war
US growers didn’t ask for this nor did the Canadian farmers
Nov 845 x 🇨🇦$ at 131 is 11.09/bu Can
The US grower is getting direct payments because of the market
🇨🇦 Beans left without any

By standing together Supply Management has overcome many threats and challenges in the past. United we will ensure the continued success of our Industry. A strong #DFO is essential to a strong 🇨🇦 Dairy Industry. @JustinTrudeau .#supplymanagement #DFC

As I watch the news this morning. Re NAFTA. @RealDonad_Trump used the words, 'ruination' of Canada.
If this man doesn't get his way. He wishes his biggest ally to be ruined.
Just.....WOW.

I love how Max fans have nothing to say when asked how they would end supply management without addressing the $22 billion a yr the US gov subsidizes US dairy corporations with. They will put unsubsidized Cdn farmers out of business and control Canada's food supply. That's crazy.
