S1 E2 | Milk, Markets, and the Cost of Protection

Why does milk cost more in Canada than in the United States? And is supply management the problem, or the protection?

In this episode of Balance Sheet, Jessica Moore breaks down Canada’s dairy, poultry, and egg quota system, examining what it means for grocery bills, farm stability, rural communities, and the upcoming USMCA review in July 2026.

Some products cost more. Some don’t. The real issue isn’t a price tag. It’s the trade-off between stability and competition.

Clear analysis. No spin. Just the economic realities behind one of Canada’s most debated policies.
