Why is cheese more expensive in Canada?

[Uncle Sparky]

On the bright side, I just saw ground beef on sale at Safeway a really, really cheap price... then I bought some ham instead...

Aww, can't stand a little E coli?

Wimp!

He bought $200,000 worth of cheese in the US and could sell it for $365,000. 165/200 = 82.5% price difference. So, no, it isn't a 30% prices difference, it is an 82.5% price difference and you guys are getting ****ed in the ass.

I was talking about the average retail price.

The smugglers probably took advantage of a specific bargain.

Eventually consumers will be put ahead of producers.

Maybe even in my lifetime.

I'm in no particular hurry to craptastize our cheese production.

I bet if I gave you two hunks of cheese of identical type, one made in Canada and one made in the United States, you wouldn't be able to tell which was which reliably without being told beforehand.

[Fake Boris]

Non tastable doesn't mean it's not harmful.

If the cheese was sold to him as a specific bargain then he would have bought it for LESS then retail ergo the mark up would have been even HIGHER.

How do you know it's not what they did already?

It's like transubstantiation. American cheese might have all the same physical qualities as Canadian cheese, but Canadian cheese is sacred and American cheese is junk.

[Fake Boris]

Yep, that's exactly what I said.

If you don't believe me, even Poly's adserver sides with me:

That's what I said. The only way this could work is if the mark up was even HIGHER because we know the end sale price in Canada was $365,000. That means the end mark up of 82.5% was a MINIMUM mark up. It could go higher but it cannot go lower.

He's saying the guy bought the cheese wholesale in America, and didn't pay retail prices. The guy bought a lot of cheese, after all.

The article said he spent $200,000 on cheese which seems to definitively nail down how much he spent on the cheese.
