All those dairy and poultry farmers applauding the recent Supreme Court decision banning farm labour unions, need to be reminded that the Supreme Court of Canada could just as easily declare supply management (or the Canadian Wheat Board) to be unconstitutional.

All the applause for the Court's "wise" decision banning farm labour unions would then turn into claims that the Supreme Court has usurped Parliament's role in making policy decisions affecting Canadian farmers - thereby once again demonstrating Canadian farmers are the champions of always wanting things both ways.
