A Canadian Prairie corporation.
You have two cows.
Ottawa says you can't milk them because it isn't fair to the cows.
You become poor and your cows die of starvation.

NAFTA's environmental arm demands Canada explain the methane leaks from the cows.

And the provincial and federal government both charge you a royalty for every liter of milk you take from the cows, including the milk that you give to Quebec.

Canada
The country has 2 cows and needs milk. One part of the country uses butter every day but won't let it transport milk across their territory. One part of the country uses cheese every day but doesn't think they get compensated enough for allowing transport of the milk or by the transfer fees the cow's tending province pays. The rest of the country has people that eat butter every day but love to waive banners on how bad our cows are for the environment. The leader of the country loves to take pictures with the cows, but he won't actually do anything about the milk. The cows end wandering away with full udders.

They missed the canadian economy.

Two cows

Fire the milkers, because they eat 2.75% of profit margin vs mexico

Ship two cows to mexico for dirt cheap

Some one else milks them and sells the milk back to canadians on EI.

Canadians argue on the companies behalf that the milkers got paid too much.

Canadians grope and moan they have to buy milk from mexico that costs more than the 'good old days' candian milk and canadian owned farm

In fact, it can be quiet enjoyable for both parties involved.
