I really hate that everyone is trying to politicize food shortages/transportation squeezes.
Canada imports 218 million kgs of dairy from the US. Do you really think 218 million kgs of anything getting throttled doesn't leave a mark?

2/ More important is not understanding a squeeze leads to a reprioritization of transportation resources.
If there's a 5-10% reduction in shipping capacity, do you think all segments decline?
No, there is competition for existing resources. Low-priced goods are dropped first.

Let's say you have a domestic transport company. The cross-border drop of only 5-10% means they'll pay you to do higher-priced cross-border shipments.
What do you think happens? Either a domestic shipper needs to pay the same, or domestic capacity disappears.
