@CanadaRiggs1@MCarbonaraFL Yes of course the U.S. does. Here are some of Canada’s ways, income loss protection, savings contributions, crop and livestock insurance, and gov’t financing to name a few. Interventionist market structure was a phrase I heard to describe Canada’s. Fair, that’s all.
@CanadaRiggs1@MCarbonaraFL Canada is more restrictive for market access in all three of those categories and has a supply management system in place. Again, part of this is due to the ridiculous agreements made by prior US admin but that does not change the imbalance and a more restricted market access
@CanadaRiggs1@MCarbonaraFL So you’re saying having a tiered tariff system where American products are hit at 100 200 or even 250% have nothing to do with it? Those are government policies so your analogy is completely wrong. But I like how you went from denying the balance to justifying the imbalance.
@CanadaRiggs1@MCarbonaraFL So you acknowledge it is imbalanced and are trying to justify it with canola production as the cause? Not everything the President is saying is completely true and all of this is incredibly complicated, but it has been imbalanced for a long time and it is the fault of our gov’t
@CanadaRiggs1@MCarbonaraFL Have you bothered to compare the agri food definitions between the two? No but if you compare apples to apples, Canada runs a sizable ag trade surplus. Canada has some of the most restrictive ag protection. It’s closer to US exports @ 29 bil and Canada @ 50 bil. More to the story
