edit: /u/WillPostForFood points out this report ends prior to the tarrifs. My bad. Their effect will be in subsequent reports.
A gallon of 2% milk in Canada is about double the price in the US. I think its reasonable to assume that if Trudeau can't bring retail food prices down and resolve this dispute he's going to have to go back to surf boarding and substitute teaching in 2020.
Lol, nothing like downplaying the achievements of the literal leader of a country ( one of the most successful possible positions for a person ).
There are a lot of other factors here too, one being that during the 70-80s American agricultural legislation focused much more on large scale farm operations than Canada and as a result it is much harder for small farmers to get by in the US.
Regardless, even with all other factors being equal dairy costs would still be slightly higher in Canada since due to generally higher taxes and higher farm wages.
The next report may be a doozy, then.
