Apparently, if you're a Canadian dairy farmer, and you enjoy a 30% surplus of milk thanks to robust production, the Canadian government will order you to dump your milk. No, you may not make money off it, and no, we don't care if the pooling milk stinks up your facilities or somehow harms the environment. Dump it. In the video below, one pissed-off dairy farmer goes on a rant (a politely Canadian rant, of course) in which he shows the milk as it's being dumped while he explains the situation. It's sad to see, frankly, and I can understand his anger. Even if he's not worried about lost profits thanks to an anticapitalistic government, he still has a right to be angry about the sheer waste that the government is ordering him to create. What sort of retarded system would allow this to go on? The guy's got balls, too: he makes sure to put his name out there so people know who he is and what he's mad about. You'd think that the government could buy up the extra milk from all those farms and ship it somewhere that might need it. But, no. That would make too much sense.
So! Do you still stupidly trust your fucking government?
