For example, Canadians pay $5.24 for a 10.5-ounce block of cheddar. In Washington, D.C., that same amount of cheddar sells for $3.64.Eh, not true. That block of US cheddar in Canada costs twice as much. The Canadian cheddar, not so much.

And pay a consistently higher price because of it. Getting the general population to subsidize a particular industry is foolish for a commodity.https://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/a-guide-to-understanding-the-dairy-dispute-between-the-us-andcanada/article34802291/The World Trade Organization has ruled that the high prices paid to Canadian farmers are subsidies, making exports very difficult. For Canadian consumers, supply management also means consistently higher retail prices for dairy, chicken and eggs.
I'm not a fan of tariffs at all! Never have been!The solution to all of this is getting rid of our Marxist income tax system and replacing it with what the founders universally endorsed! Taxes on articles of consumption only at retail! http://fairtax.org

Face it. Everyone else had a trade advantage over us. That is why they are screaming.
So we were not developed in 1922?
