Monopoly 2 - Big Milk


Listen Later

Some say that they’re a shadowy group that are the true power behind our elected officials, wielding enormous influence that they use to either benefit their friends or crush their enemies.


Others claim that they’re a bulwark against oligopolies, ensuring that rural Canada doesn’t turn into an empty, corporatized hellscape.


But what’s not up for debate is that Big Milk is a big deal.


Featured in this episode: Marlene Haley, Justin Ling, Bruce Muirhead
