Western Canada exports high quality beef on the hoof and boxed to Western USA and imports lower quality (dairy) beef into Ontario and Quebec. Much more efficient than when we shipped swinging sides to Montreal by rail where the beef trade was mafia controlled. Trump's tariffs will force us back to that.
Canada has supply management of poultry and dairy much to America's anger at being locked out, more or less, of that Canadian market. BUT the reason for that is simple. Prior to the 1970s when it was introduced, we suffered from the American commodity price cycles. In times of high prices, American production would flood our market driving producers here out of business. In times of low prices, Americans would cut production and our supply would dry up. Only with supply management can we legally block american imports.
I actually read Wealth of Nations for bragging rights as most people quote it but have never read it. One point that really hit home was that big corporations were NOT on the side of the Nation. No shit, Sherlock.
