Peter- Any clarification why they are more productive? I'm going to guess that some of it has to do with the use of hormones that are banned in Canada. Personally I'd rather keep US product out of Canada for that reason alone.
As for costs, we have higher input costs like fuel taxes. We also probably have fewer illegals working for pennies on our farms. Crazy that living in a civilized country has higher costs for products to protect it's citizens, right? Sometimes the cheapest price for the consumer shouldn't be the number one priority.
