RE:RE:Trumps speechI am not sure why you think CDN gov is subsidizing rich companies involving dairy.
In Canada, it is common to add vitamin D and other health related ingredients to milk. A 50+ years ago the Gov agreed to pay to get these ingredients added to the milk. This was because milk was the easiest food ingredient to ship around back then. Health supplements were not a thing back then.
So does the US have cheaper milk? Yes.... Why? It is because they do not add all the mandatory health related ingredients that CDN producers have to legally do. Did Trump do his research on this? Nope, it was the Dairy lobby in the US.
I ask you, is there anything that has a 30% discount based on currency CDN to US, that would make US milk cheaper?
One can argue there is a CDN tax on imported milk, but guess what that pays for? To add the legally required health ingredients to the milk.
Why are these ingredients needed? Because we live in the North, and get less sunlight than the USA. Sunlight gives people Vitamin D, we get less sunlight, we get less Vitamin D. So we drink it in milk.
It really makes sense to have the whole population of a country healthier by drinking Vitamin D laced milk, than having to pay for universal health care bills for deficency.
But the USA does not understand Universal Health Care. I expect it involves numbers and stuff.
