    There are a lot of reasons to shit on the beef and dairy cartels in Canada, and they have definitely captured the market with regulation, but I don’t believe this is an example of that. I think this is a good safety regulation that actually is in the interest of average Canadians for once.

      That’s what regulations are supposed to do, and the very large network of regulations working within and across industries are nearly invisible to the public because they’re beneficial. Some regulations were put in place to serve malicious actors at the expense of the public, but they’re not the norm, and many do get repealed when more people become aware of their damage.

      This seems like a good example of regulations improving the system, which also had beneficial knock-on effects.
