What Canada Has Been Doing to American Farmers for Fifty Years
The numbers got so bad that by 2023, the goods deficit hit $64 billion – the worst it had been since the George W. Bush years. And Canada's weapon of choice has been the tariff. Trump called out the dairy tariff specifically, and here's what that actually looks like in practice.Canada built a wall around its dairy market in the 1970s to protect Canadian producers, then designed a quota system so restrictive that American farmers can't get anywhere near the cap that would let them compete.
American auto workers in Michigan and Ohio built their careers on an industry Canada has been quietly undercutting for twenty years – protecting its own market with tariffs while demanding open access to ours. "Canada declined to finalize the trade deal under the terms agreed earlier this week." Fifty percent tariffs hit at midnight.
Carney's response was to call it a "miscalculation" – then announce dollar-for-dollar retaliation starting September 8.
He also told reporters Canada was "at war" with the United States. A country that has extracted sixty billion dollars a year from American workers just declared itself a victim.
That ends now.
