Comments by "Jerry Miller" (@jerrymiller9039) on "Clearing Up the Canada Tariff Misinformation" video.

  1. @jakedesnake97  Milk is $1,57 more per liter in Canada which is a very large price difference. US milk should be flowing North but isnt. I dont know or care whitch artificial hurdle or hurdles Canada is using to block fair trade. Possibly qouta or high tariff for exceeding qouta or other artificial hurdles but it is not fair trade and is an example of Canada being an unreliable ally and Trump raising a legitimate complaint.

  2. Much more reliable than canada

  3. @kstricl  The 1.57 number is from this video. If you want to dispute it take it up with them. A week ago I bought a gallon of milk for 2.62 US as an example. That sounds like a big difference. If you claim there are no artificial hurdles then why isnt more milk flowing North?

  4. To use the milk example, if milk costs on average $1.57 per liter more in Canada, then naturally more milk from the US should flow North. If it isnt does it mater if the reason is the quota or high tariff for over the quota or some other artificial hurdle? Either way it is Canada not conducting fair trade and Trump is correct to object

  5. @rb239rtr  As I demonstrated Canada is not conducting free trade and you are defending it. That does not sound like a reliable ally to me. Now if Canada is refusing to trade fairly then whatever Trump does is equally as fair

  6. @DesFTW_  All the more reason to reopen negotiations. If both sides have legitimate issues then work them out
    3
  7. @rb239rtr  then BOTH sides should raise their issues, but Trump is correct to say we have issues and if the imbalance is in Canadas favor then it sounds like the US has more legitimate issues to raise.

  8. @trevordavis8875  yes I watched the video and yes the overall imbalance is in canadas favor. Trump is raising valid issues. If Canada also has valid issues and I assume they do then raise them

  9. @kstricl  you missed my point. I dont know what the artificial barriers are but if there is a big ongoing price difference, that is a big reason to believe they exist. Also, everything I hear about Trump and most of what I hear about the US from Canada is negative so no I dont consider Canadians to be more polite or fair or better allies or have any moral high ground here.

  10. @NiceTryLaoChe  and? All such agreements are subject to updates. If milk is $1.57 more per liter in Canada and US milk is blocked then that is not fair trade and Trump has a valid point

  11. @tanyaharris1335  the trade imbalance is in canadas favor so if either side is being a bad ally it would be canada. As for your question, I would need to know what he knew then versus what he knows now. I will get back to youwhen I master the mind reading thing.

  12. @thanatosjamie7663  I said that I dont know what the artificial trade barriers are but of there is a large ongoing price difference they exist. Also I have heard plemty if complaints from Canadians about food prices so if they could slash the price on a staple I think they should. Maybe Canadians should spend more time asking their leaders why milk is so expensive

  13. @daret9056  if you feel you have a valid complaint then ask your leader to bring it up withTrump like Trump is bringing up our valid complaints
    2
  14. @daret9056  then lobby your leader to build more. As an American I think it is silly that so much of our refinery capability is not geared towards our grade of crude. Regardless I also think we shoud move towards more natural gas and less crude. As someone that served in Iraq, I am all for drill baby drill and cutting contact with the middleast

  15. @yasaralamin1246  Trump was elected because too many Americans got tired of our own government placing the needs of American citizens behind illegal aliens, criminals and people delighting in hating America and the citizens of pretty much every other country. Trump is rightfully raising isdues where we got the short end if the stick. If Canadian leadership does the same for you, I would aplaud them

  16. @jrossi91  milk is much more expensive in Canada. Naturally that would mean milk flowing North. However, it is not which implies there are artificial hurdles and Trump is correct to raise the issue
    2
  17. @jtrain9926  It is a legitimate complaint. Milk is much more expensive in Canada so with actual free trade, milk would flow North to bring the price down. Since that is not happening there are artificial trade barriers and Trump is correct to call yhem out

  18. @ComedicLetter  user name checks out. Next time stay in reality.
    2
  19. @ComedicLetter  You didnt raise any legitimate point. It is laughable to claim that canada has higher standards. You only made a silly baseless claim. Even if there is some preference it could easily be met. What are these " higher standards" that you claim exist?
    2
  20. @ComedicLetter  I can make the same or similar claims. I have been to Canada over 100 times and have never seen a major health difference. If there is some specific issue say a growth hormone it would be easy to get the milk from herds certified not to have it. If you go to any large American grocery store you will see a range of milk products certified for this or that. Also if American milk is of such lower standards then why is any of it imported into Canada? The bottom line is milk is much more expensive in Canada and many Canadians are struggling with food prices. If they are not buying more then there must be some artificial hurdle which means Trump is correct. If you can find example of thr US taking advantage of Canada and yes I assume there must be examples then have your leadership bring it up. There is far too much emotion in this.

  21. @ComedicLetter  $1.57 per liter difference is huge and many people are struggling with high food prices. Naturally, milk should be flowing North to narrow the gap. Under actual free trade it would be. I dont claim to know which artificial hurdles are in play but Trump is absolutely right to raise the issue. Like I said, I would be fine if your leadership raised any cases where we use artificial hurdles. I wish Canadians could be as fair minded.

  22. @ComedicLetter  nonsense and you know it
    2
  23. @ComedicLetter your only point is that Trump is correct
    2
  24. @ComedicLetter  you missed the part about milk being 1.57 more per liter in canada. That is a huge reason to import more and a strong indicator that Trump is correct about unfair trade practices
    2
  25. @ComedicLetter  you are missing the point. US milk is if anything far higher in quality. Also it is far cheaper. I just paid 1$ canadian per liter for milk. If Canada was not putting up unfair barriers, milk would be far cheaper in canada. Thanks for verifying that Trump is correct
    2
  26. @rb239rtr  You provided zero evidence that canadian milk is higher quality. This video, made by canadians listed one particular growth hormone outlawed in canada and they stated that over half of American herds dont use it. Sounds easy to certify. Im no expert but I buy raw milk weekly directly from a local farm. I can see and taste the difference on if they are in a summer pasture versus eating hay in winter. Summer milk has a yellow tint which is more CLA or milk fat. The volume per cow is greater in summer also. If anything canadian herds would spend more of the year on hay and thus be lower quality. The price difference indicates that there are artificial hurdles in place. Beyond that Trump is correct that our experts and your experts on dairy and trade should resove it.

  27. @TristanBeaulieu-fy8gy  making up such lies about your ally is both childish and foolish

  28. @TristanBeaulieu-fy8gy  You just said that canada was being threatened with invasion over milk. Show me a qoute where anyone is threatening that

  29. @vicfontaine5130  I want free and fair trade

  30. @allanbradley8923  That sounds better but I was just using their data
    1
  31. @allanbradley8923  I just bought one gallon at an ALDI here in Michigan for 2.62 US per gallon which is $1 Canadian per liter. As for there being different standards in any large American grocery you will see a range of milk products. Im sure any major bulk supplier could certify anything. This is unusual here but I buy a gallon of raw unprocessed milk each week directly from a farm for about $7 US per gallon. The bottom line is Im sure both sides have cases where they overly benefit. Trump ran saying he would put Americans first when we are used to being put last by our own government. He is raising issues where we got the short end of the stick and I would be fine with Canadian leadership doing the dsame for Canadians

  32. @ComedicLetter  you are just making stuff up. Sad

  33. @rb239rtr  how so? And why dont you tell your leadership about this? I dont pretend to be a dairy or trade expert but with that big of a price difference, it doesnt look like free trade and naturally flowing product

  34. @PACAD318  canada claims milk is part of the trade treaty
