Does that matter?
And I'm not saying we should lower the tariff on American cheese. The tariff applies to every country as far as I understand because its designed to protect our very corrupt and very powerful dairy industry.
We could theoretically maintain our regulations around dairy products, and lower tariffs. This would prevent importers from flooding the market with the so called 'unhealthy' stuff.
But then again, why not let the consumer choose? We have our food standards, yes, but the tariffs are just driving up prices for all Canadians, and the only people winning are the dairy cartels.
Which I suppose is the Canadian way!
