So were gonna do the opposite and let all our other industries get tariffed, because we want to protect a special group and prevent people from choosing with their wallet. Canada loves cartels and we love price fixing, we love paying high prices.
First off, do you have evidence that negotiating with terrorists is a historically successful strategy? Because otherwise, I am not sure why you are suggesting that Canadian capitulation has any influence over US tariff policy.
Second, who has had famously higher egg and dairy prices over the past year? The US or Canada? If the goal is lower prices, which administration should we be cheerleading?
I will am pretty free enterprise but I will take “price fixing” over submission to an abusive and unreliable narcissist every day of the week.
The idea that the biggest threat to Canada right now is internal economic policy is laughably disconnected from reality.
How about some of us choose with our heads. That sounds like an idea.
I'm going to assume you aren't Canadian, with this shit? Because it's pretty bizarre that a Canadian would be advocating for Canadian farmers to be put out of business by US corporations.
Especially given the fact that our system not only protects those farmers, it keeps prices under control and guarantees a reliable supply of products for Canadian consumers.
Meanwhile, the US can't even manage their own supply chains well enough to keep the price of eggs from skyrocketing. But sure, "Let's hand the whole thing over to the Americans, because well-managed supply chains = cartels!! Hurr-durr!!"
Its not just our inflated dairy costs, it's telecoms, grocery store's, banks; now they're even buying up residential real estate. Everything in Canada is an oligopoly. Canadians seemingly love it as well, as long as they can say its a Canadian oligopoly.
Food sovereignty isn’t that complicated.
Here’s a clue: an unregulated market will undermine your food security and sovereignty, and prices are cheap until the market consolidates around the winners.
We need no competition otherwise there will be no competition. But this only applies to dairy for some reason?
