    Actually, I took your word for it when I first read this response, but it turns out dairy farmers in Newfoundland were asked to dump milk by their provincial dairy association. So yes, they have had to dump milk, and it was directly caused by the provincial dairy commission.

    Also, the whole milk dumping thing became viral because of Ontario specifically, each case of which was cause by government regulation: https://globalnews.ca/video/9459508/milk-dump-dairy-farmer-exposes-where-excess-milk-goes/ https://toronto.citynews.ca/2023/02/02/dairy-farmer-dumping-excess-milk/ https://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/lilley-viral-video-shows-canadas-dirty-dairy-secret-we-dump-lots-of-milk

      Your source relates to the dumping of milk due to demand drop during covid. Can’t sell spoiled milk.

        But you can sell unspoiled milk for lower prices. Regulation prevents them from lowering price or selling to other marketers. That’s a fact. Regulations restricted sales. Regulation restricted dropping prices.

        Regulation causes dumping, free markets cause lower prices. You have not falsified that idea yet.
