The other thing is that Canada produces a higher quality product with more stringent standards than the US. Also, unlike the US, most animal production farms are owned by families.

This very much may be true, but it still doesn't explain why someone who can meet all those same standards at a lower price should be excluded from the market. It is the standards which dictate the quality of the produce not the quota system.
If American products don't meet our health standards then it's academic, don't let them in. But to artificially limit supply and raise the price under the quise of it being for higher quality is a bunch of bunk.
