    Some market have strategic value other are essentials and you need to control. Under cutting local producers until they give up means you can price gouge after and make huge profits. Deregulate milk and see your farmers disappear, you become dependant on a not so friendly neighbor.

      My wallet shouldn’t be used to subsidize a fundamentally unproductive Quebec dairy farm because political parties need to prop up their Quebec MPs. Markets should be free, trade should be open and fair for trading partners that feel likewise.

        Markets should be free, trade should be open, industries should be monopolized and the masses should be exploited.

          Yes, that seems to be the preference among this crowd. It’s good to lick the boots of monopolies and I’m sure everyone loves paying 3x the global cost for cell phone service.

          Canadian society is about supporting individuals

          A strong, viable welfare system isn’t funded by good feelings. You too are also welcome to leave if you contribute nothing to society.
