vyelkin posted:US dairy is highly subsidized, poorly regulated, and still manages to lose money for all dairy farmers who aren't giant agro-conglomerates to the point that there's an epidemic of dairy farmer suicide going on, but hey I get to buy a gallon of garbage milk for 99 cents supply side management drives people insane because it runs counter to the general economic principles we were all told to value, regardless of the actual tangible benefits producers get from that kind of deal. there's an episode in the "dirt money" series about the heist of maple syrup in quebec, and the same system exists there with maple syrup and you can see the same debate play out between people who want to just sell whatever they produce until the entire market crashes and everyone loses their homes vs the supply side management guys who have kept the price stable and people producing for 20 odd years.

Have you even been in a grocery store in your life? Way to venture 20 whole minutes outside the city of Vancouver for this claim when stocking and fliers are largely determined regionally with some small degree of input by individual store managers. There are WAY more SKUs for misc ethnic foods in the lower mainland stores than the rest of the province. You do realize that "whiteass" Langley has a population that's ~20% first generation immigrant? In the great Canadian hinterland of "everywhere but major cities" it's a shock if you hit 5%.

Haha, I just searched Census data for a few places close to the US border and got a significant American-born population of presumed draft dodgers. I assume we all agree that they don't count for ethnic food though. Maybe "mother tongue -> non-official languages -> non-aboriginal languages" is best.
