Why Join SFPFC?

Our latest new member to Small Flockers was asked why they joined.  Here is the conversation for all the world to see.  The names of the innocent have been redacted so as to protect their privacy, and save them from possible retaliation by the Chicken Mafia, the governments, or others.


Here is what our newest member said:

"I received your email confirming receipt of my membership in 'Small Flock Poultry Farmers of Canada'.

For your ready reference, I would advise my interest in supporting your endeavors is multi-fold and I suspect too extensive to fully express here at this time. For the sake of brevity, I would advise that my recent research into the food production systems has revealed some startling information which absolutely astounds me. While this organization deals specifically with chickens, the same kinds of frightening practices and regulations seem to infect virtually all sectors of our food production system.

In a nutshell, I have decided there is far too much corruption, deceit, unnecessary regulation, protectionism, and excessive costs  in the industry. Additionally, the quality of our food is affecting not only my health but that of all people and perhaps all life on the planet. I believe this is the direct result of my assuming that the information previously released to me was sound but it now appears I have been incredibly deceived along with the masses.

Consequently, I fully support your efforts to return the rights of individuals to freely engage in the production, processing, sale, and consumption of the food they choose to eat without anyone having to give them such authority other than themselves. Moreover, the responsibility for profit by any producer lies only in their ability to conscientiously provide a valuable product or service to another individual with the freedom to so choose. 

As far as I am concerned, supply management is no more than an excuse for monopoly and high prices. All free markets have what is called a market clearing price. Poor producers, in any market, are soon removed by the market and that is the only regulation required.

Thank you for the opportunity to express these very important opinions."

I think that is very well said.  SFPFC collects the finest people from all over the world, in this case from a major city in Ontario.

For all those interested, here are the redacted version of the email conversation with SFPFC's newest member on their reasons for joining SFPFC..

The above feedback from our members is why SFPFC struggles on, against huge and powerful forces.

We will soon be tested at our greatest challenge.  We will depend on truth and justice.  We hope and pray that the Tribunal will save us from flashy legal trickery, erroneous assumptions, brute force, and monied interests.

Hopefully might does not make right.

Inspiration from Mandella

Nelson Mandella
(1918 - 2013)

"The time comes in the life of any nation when there remain only two choices - submit or fight. That time has now come to South Africa. We shall not submit and we have no choice but to hit back by all means in our power in defense of our people, our future, and our freedom."

Nelson Mandella (1918 - 2013), speaking from the prisoner's dock during his trial for terrorism in 1964 at Rivonia, South Africa.

Mandella was subsequently convicted and jailed for 27 years, then released in Feb. 1990, Mandella was elected S. African President in 1994, chose to limit himself to serving just 1 term, stepping down in 1999.

Small Flockers have great inspiration before us, if we choose to follow his footsteps.  Our prayers are to humbly try to fill his shoes, and honor his accomplishments by doing likewise for the oppression, tyranny and civil rights abuses inflicted by the Supply Management Mafia against Small Flockers and all others in Canada.

While the tragedies suffered by Small Flockers and other Canadians at the hands of the Supply Management Mafia are mild compared to the centuries of suffering experienced by black S. Africans, it is still unjust and stings the same.

Justice for Small Flockers

Small Flockers have rights.

The power and authority of all governments are limited.

Governments have duties they must fulfill for their citizens.

Provided the government adequately respects its citizens, protects them and their property, and fulfill their duties for its people, then and only then do the citizens owe the government their loyalty.

As best as I am able to tease it out, the following table shows the hierarchy of laws for Canada.

The Chicken Mafia is not all powerful, in spite of what they may think.  Note that the Chicken Mafia are #13 in the hierarchy; last place.

The Federal and Provincial Governments are neither omnipotent nor all powerful.  There are significant limitations on their governmental powers.

There's hope for regaining the rights of Small Flockers, and every citizens' right to buy and/or grow safe, nutritious, affordable, adequate, and locally available food.

Small Flockers and their communities of family, friends and neighbours will eventually find justice, either with these current governments, or the new governments that will soon replace the fossilized, old, and worn out governments of today.
