      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.

                  What do you think is different now?

                  Cost of living is a lot worse now than it was 50 years ago. The internet also reveals how broken things are, much faster than news on cable TV in the 70s and 80s.

                  Not that I think anything will change, but it seems clear that something needs to.
