By my math, Canada sends approx 2x hogs/pork to the US than what you take back as pork in boxes.

If no live pigs/hogs cross the border headed south (they already can't cross going North, odd how that works) and no pork goes north, Canada will have a glut of live pigs/hogs to deal with and the US will have a lot less pork to worry about selling.   


I'll stand by my statement that the hog/pork industry in Canada has a lot more to lose if the border tariff deal continues to escalate.

Packing plants in the US can slow the chain down, Canada's producers will be scrambling to do something/anything with live pigs/hogs.



Won't disagree on your math or the hurt. Ontario has high population so I think we balance out on pork trade.

We are short a lot of hook space in Ontario , US has hook space and makes money on Ontario (Canadian hogs) + the US needs all the western SEW/weiners

As last I seen US can ship live hogs to Canada ,some rules exist (disease wise) but no cdn. hook space and cdn. packers don't pay enough. Trucking from here, 30 miles from Detroit to Coldwater plant is all fees in $2,350 cdn. for 160 hogs..A large produce going to US during the 3 day tariff deal has been billed $55,000 cdn. 1 load of finished cattle was $40k cdn. If tariffs come on the swine will be moved to US as SEW pigs and more producers will exit pork business
