The problem is that the counter-argument is “that’s a lie,” but stupid people don’t understand that you cannot spend all day explaining basic economics to people who start from the assumptions of the lie in the first instance and are thus uneducable. https://twitter.com/scottadamssays/status/1005922978863992833 …

Maybe you should use more accurate data, say 2017. Here are the rate from World Bank site https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/TM.TAX.MRCH.WM.AR.ZS?end=2016&start=2016&view=bar …. Shows Canadian tariff rate average HALF of US rate. So

(1) The article also states that despite these "unfair" dairy tarrifs, we still manage to export "more than five times as much dairy as we import."

Are you being willfully obtuse? The article states that the US has a small trade SURPLUS with Canada. You don’t get to just pick and choose one small trade category to focus on and then cry about it. That’s not how it works.
