Agree

No, food security is national security and we must produce our own food

Greens frequently link local food systems and resilience to national security/climate resilience; while they may not use this exact slogan, the food-security rationale is broadly consistent with their support for domestic production and supply management.

Disagree

Disagree

Yes, dismantle the cartel so Canadians can buy cheaper milk and cheese

The framing of supply management as a “cartel” to lower consumer prices aligns more with free‑market parties; Greens prioritize farm viability, local food systems, and managed trade over dismantling the system for cheaper imports.
