Countries like Canada, a supposed ally, subsidise their own agriculture and then slap a 400% tariff on Amwerican dairy.

I make sure to remind my fellows of this when they start getting riled about the tariffs; *we* started it 30 years ago.

That's a bit misleading. Every government with competent leadership subsidises agriculture and stock breeding as well as related industries to keep quality of life higher in rural areas so urban ones don't outpace them completely and keep these industries alive in case of shortage of imports and/or conflicts.

Canada in particular has that tariff once a certain quota is met which, if I am not mistaken, the USA hasn't been able to meet.
