For years, Canada has painted itself as a victim of U.S. trade policy, but look at their own tariffs: 250% on milk, 291% on butter, 208% on whey, 241% on cheese. This isn’t about fairness—it’s about protecting their overregulated, quota-controlled dairy industry while shutting out American farmers. The media won’t talk about it, but these tariffs show who the real trade aggressor is. If the U.S. imposed anything close to this, the outrage would be deafening.
