Document Summary

Especially apparent in settler societies (ones that arrived late), it emerges clearly. What emerges in canada is that canadian society is very much concerned with developing a distinct culture because canadian society is so heavily influenced by british institutions. It also has to find out if it belongs on the land. The landscape (environment) is one of the ways that canada satisfies both of these ideas. The other thing that images of the land do in canada is that they prove to us that we own the land and we belong in this space. Whatever problematic things happen throughout history canadian culture is here and it owns the land. Many people who talk about nationalism mention a concept called cultural objectification, which tells us that in order to prove that we have a culture, we need to back that culture up with a set of objects.

For years the U.S. dairy industry has claimed that Canadian dairy producers are heavily subsidized through the country’s supply management program. This argument has been a key point in trade negotiations as the U.S. claims that the supply management system, and the Class & pricing system in place, creates an unfair playing field. In a new report, Canadians have suggested that perhaps the U.S. dairy industry should examine its own subsidy programs before making accusations. The 588-page report commissioned by Dairy Farmers of Canada examined the role subsidies play in the U.S. dairy market. According to the report, 73% of the returns received by U.S. dairy farmers in 2015 were a result of dairy farm subsidies, such as the Margin Protection Program (MPP), the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and others. That amounts to about $12.06 per cwt. “One of the things we are seeing is that the way dairy industries are supported on both sides of the border are different,” Haney says. “Canada on the front end, is clearly supported through the quota system. In the U.S., it’s more through other means like MPP, SNAP and so forth.” “The Canadians should realize that the U.S. is not over subsidized, but has a tremendous safety net that will give larger producers confidence to expand production knowing they have revenue assurance and other industry backups,” Wiesemeyer says, especially with the update to programs recently announced in the newly approved spending package. “That will be the story over the next 3 to 5 years in the U.S. dairy market.
