Milk is pictured at a grocery store in North Vancouver on Sept. 24, 2018. (The Canadian Press/Jonathan Hayward) The Canadian Dairy Commission (CDC) plans to increase the price of farm gate milk on Feb. 1, 2022, which is expected to push up the cost of other dairy products .
“The increase in producers’ revenues will partially offset increased production costs due to the COVID-19 pandemic which caused revenues to remain below the cost of production,” the CDC said in a statement on its website, adding that feed, energy, and fertilizer costs have been especially impacted by the pandemic.
The decision was made after the CDC conducted a review of milk prices in October, as well as several other costs used in administering the supply management system. The new prices will be announced once they are approved by provincial authorities in December.
After the policy is implemented, the price of milk used by processors who make dairy products for the retail and restaurant sectors will increase by 8.4 percent. There will also be a 5 percent increase in milk processing costs such as in packaging, labour, and transportation, the CDC said.
The change will also affect butter-related products, with the support price for butter used by the CDC in its storage programs to increase by 12.4 percent (from $8.7149 to $9.7923 per kg).
The CDC’s butter storage fees will be reduced from by 33 percent. The Crown corporation stores a certain amount of butter to ensure an adequate supply throughout the year and to prevent shortages.
“The impact of these adjustments on retail prices will depend on many factors such as manufacturing, transportation, distribution, and packaging costs throughout the supply chain,” the CDC said.

Over the past five years, the consumer price index for dairy increased by 7.4 percent, compared to 11.8 percent for meat, 20.6 percent for eggs, and 7.7 percent for fish, according to the CDC.
Sylvain Charlebois, director of Dalhousie University’s Agri-Food Analytics Lab, told CTV News that the 8.4 percent price increase is “a precedent,” and that there hasn’t been a recommendation for such a large price increase in the commission’s 54-year history.While he […]

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
