      which obviously are going to cost more.

      I don’t understand why those would cost 40%+ more. We produce these products here, and they are subsidized, so what exactly accounts for such a disproportionate consumer cost?

          They are not subsidized, at least not in the traditional sense of the word.

          This sounds like pretty traditional subsidies.

          And these same products are not supply managed in other countries? If not, how come? If so, why are Canadian consumers paying a disproportionately high amount for them?

              It really sounds like we (Canada) needs to revisit how this is done. Sounds like a terrible system, and consumers are losing big time.
