Re: How do you add a poll?
There have been numerous articles on why our cheese prices are so high compared to the US and EU. This is from one of the articles
In Canada, eggs, chicken and dairy aren’t sold like most goods. Farmers get a quota to produce so much. Competition is kept out. There’s a small quota for imports, but once it’s met, they face tariffs of more than 200 per cent. A $10 French cheese is hit with a $24.50 duty. Canadian dairy exports are restricted because they’re subsidized.
