again: i don't agree with these numbers at all.

i don't think we have to choose between supply management and market access; i think our domestic supply can outcompete these imports, and you're just going to see american products sitting on the shelf, or expiring before they get to market.

and, if i understand what's happening, i may even make a conscious choice to buy canadian.

what i'm getting at is that opening the market a little might be a reasonable concession, because it's not going to actually harm our industry, anyways - it's just going to lead to greater losses from american farmers, until they get their supply under control.

the bigger threat is the spread of factory farming.
