Not sure what I think about this since I don't know a lot about farming. I guess freedom of choice is a good thing, but there is always a downside.
As an aside, one of the things I hate living in Ontario is that all the papers and the media just hate the Harper governement. Looking at the comments sections always seem to bring out that he can't do anything right and we're all doomed. Kind of hard to keep a level head here. A quick look at the commentary suggests that the Conservatives are selling out to large US corporatations and the farmers will be squeezed out by these large corporations. |
I hate the hypocrisy of the media over there, Ontario farmers have had the right to sell outside the wheat board for ages. Why shouldn't the rest of the country?
Mind you, they do have a point of being concerned with the US corporations. Look what happened in the financial sector since deregulations happened. Increased individual corporate profits and large public expense, speculation caused food pricing bubbles, etc.
