One of the reasons Canada has had high tariffs on dairy is that they wanted to encourage consumption of their own milk/dairy products.... and they pay their farmers VERY GOOD prices for their milk for that reason. Cannot fault them for that....
They also have done alot of trading in beef cattle, there are big finishing/feed lots and have taken alot of cattle from northern states to feed out... plus there are some areas that ship cattle over the border to finish here... trading off.... not saying it is equal or fair... but the dairy part I can see from their point in the past... Not exactly that different from US wanting to buy "American" now........
