Why is cheese more expensive in Canada?

[Kidlicious]

I bet it would be good for smuggling into Canada.

Canadian Bacon is actually good ... American Cheese is only useful for caulking windows.

We always refered to it as peameal bacon. That may be regional though.

They have a shortage of window caulk too? This is what happens to Communists

I imagine so.

I love American cheese. Processed food

I already have a pipeline from Rochester to London. Don't make me break your legs.

Maybe we can work out an arrangement in territory. It's my civic duty to help these poor Canadians in southern Ontario get cheese at non-absurd prices.

I don't consume much in the way of cheese, butter or eggs.

Milk consumption is where I get screwed.

My normal breakfast is milk, scrambled eggs, bacon, and buttered toast. I'd be ****ed in Canada.

Out of curiousity I checked to see what "American cheese" might be...

Wiki -

American cheese is a processed cheese. It is orange, yellow, or white in color and mild in flavor, with a medium-firm consistency, and melts easily. American cheese was originally only white, but is sometimes now modified to yellow. In the past, it was made from a blend of cheeses, most often Colby and Cheddar. Today’s American cheese is generally no longer made from blended cheeses, but instead is manufactured from a set of ingredients[1] such as milk, whey, milkfat, milk protein concentrate, whey protein concentrate, and salt. In the United States,[2] it may not be legally sold as "cheese", and must be labeled as "processed cheese", "cheese product", or similar—e.g., "cheese food". At times even the word "cheese" is missing in the name on the label, e.g. "American slices" or "American singles". In Canada, exactly the same product, often by the same manufacturer with the same label design, used to be sold as "Canadian cheese" or "Canadian slices". Today, most such cheese in Canada is vaguely labelled just "slices" or "singles". In the United Kingdom, packs are labelled as "singles",[3] although it is commonly called cheese slices.

I should have known.

Oh so you don't have American Cheese? You have Canadian Cheese. Is that like Freedom Fries?!

No we don't have "Canadian cheese"

...used to be sold as "Canadian cheese" or "Canadian slices". Today, most such cheese in Canada is vaguely labelled just "slices" or "singles".

I've never heard it referred to as "Canadian cheese" (or American for that matter hence why I looked it up).

It used to be called government cheese here, but the capitalists changed it and it sells well now.

Canadian cheese is more expensive because it is made out of cheese, not plasticy wax.

It's a good thing you guys have oil to fuel your economy, because you don't know how to maximise profits.

The block of colby jack in my fridge is not plasticy wax.

[Uncle Sparky]

You have some real cheese. Many US brands make 'cheese food products'.

Cheese smuggling sounds like a good gig. I mean the amount of time you'll spend in jail is probably only a few months but you get an 80% mark up so it seems like a relatively low risk but high return smuggling business.
