Cool! How are you dealing with onerous regulatory oversight from Ottowa?
Continuous frustration. I’ve had some hard hitting blows.
Saskatchewan told the feds to pound sand. They might lose fed crop insurance, but... good
Ontario is the problem. The health unit and dairy regulators have jumped up our asses more than once for the tiniest infractions. Ie. I have a shopkeepers exemption for glass bottle dairy—but they cracked down on me delivering it. Each person has to physically get it from my store or I have to get a distribution licence. Even though I transport it 4hrs to my shop.. it’s all senseless.
