If you believe that part of Canada's identity is to help others out, even if it doesn't benefit you, that is precisely the argument
against subsidies.
The number of people hurt by subsidies, although invisible, vastly out number those who are helped by subsidies, despite being more visible.
Even if Canada's identity is, as you say, helping others at a cost to yourself, then the dairy farmers should be willing to take a hit for the betterment of every other Canadian.
