Canada  woefully lacks in allowing the free market to render efficiency in allocation of production.  While I agree that some aspects of service to society are best delivered in the public domain there has been far too strong a rise in the state's intervention in our lives and we are the worse off for it.

We have become a nation that does not want any losers in the economy.  Hence the notion of dairy supply management, a loathsome escapade coddling wealth-protected farmers who are firmly shielded from the market and can wallow in high cost inefficiency, to the detriment of us all.
