Canadian food producers are dishing up the benefits of supply management along with free nosh at a pop-up “diner” on Sparks Street Tuesday.
And perhaps thanks to U.S. President Donald Trump’s bitter attacks on the system, #Ottawadiner is trending on Twitter and drawing visitors including MPs.
The Egg Farmers of Canada issued an open invitation for Ottawans to meet the country’s egg, dairy, chicken and turkey farmers from 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. outside the National Press Building.
On offer was “delicious food made from fresh, local, high-quality ingredients provided by Canada’s supply-managed farmers.”
“The pop-up Downtown Diner is a unique opportunity to learn how the system of supply management helps maintain a vibrant agricultural sector in Canada and delivers food of the highest quality for Canadians,” the egg farmers touted.
Farmers issued an open invitation to the event a week ago amid free trade talks but Trump’s complaints about supply management via Twitter Sunday raised concerns, particularly among dairy farmers.

PM Justin Trudeau of Canada acted so meek and mild during our @G7 meetings only to give a news conference after I left saying that, “US Tariffs were kind of insulting” and he “will not be pushed around.” Very dishonest & weak. Our Tariffs are in response to his of 270% on dairy!

A poll last summer found that three-quarters of Canadians support supply management. Established in the 1970s, it limits dairy, egg and chicken production and imposes steep tariffs on imports beyond a certain amount to keep the market from becoming saturated.

Great to have our @CPC_HQ MPs out at #OttawaDiner on Sparks street supporting @TheInsideCoop @eggsoeufs @dfc_plc @TurkeyFarmersCa and Canadian Hatching Eggs. Come on out for a FREE breakfast! #cdnag #ottawa #ottnews #cdnpoli #canada pic.twitter.com/yBfW01YvOG
