The Americans run a subsidized insurance policy that benefits all dairy farmers and a pricing system that deals with all aspects of production and in which all dairy farmers benefit. In any trade talks these things have to be on the table. The problem in Canada is quite simply that, we the consumers pay the subsidy, not the government.Countries do, as many posters point out subsidize various industries, in Canada Bombardier comes to mind, however when you are asking the whole country to subsidize an industry made up of about 12 thousand dairy farmers, then it doesn't take Trump, for one to realize this is wrong.
