One more issue the Conservative won't touch...
Road Hammer had a good comments on my post yesterday on the '7 Issues the Conservatives won't touch'. Agricultural subsidies and our supply management programs need to be debated. Our various supply management boards (for poultry, eggs, milk, etc) all tend to keep prices way too high, stifle innovation, and force farmers to deal with one vendor. I'm not an expert on supply management, but it seems that this is one area where there should be a debate - certainly, there is huge disagreement in the west on the use of these marketing boards.

I look forward to the Conservatives raising this issue during the campaign. Maybe I've missed, but they sure have been quiet about it.
Most of the policies support farmers, for sure...but what about rolling back subsidies. What about breaking up the milk marketing boards, etc.
I don't find these policies very 'conservative.
