Yes. You can find both beef and dairy producers in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario. I don't know about Newfoundland and PEI--they might, but PEI prefers to grow potatoes (PEI potatoes are to Canadians what Idaho potatoes are to Americans--in other words, the best in the country); and much of Newfoundland is not suitable for any sort of farming. Any agriculture there would be on a small scale.
An old friend of mine is a beef farmer in Ontario, actually.
It's not that it's not suitable so much as the land and climate dictate what is farmed and where. If orchards of various kinds give a greater income, then that land will be used for orchards not beef. Alberta produces 67% of Canada’s beef. A lot of the land isn't suitable for anything else.
There's a lot of high powered energy being used to create artificial high pressures for long periods of time. It is easier to control the weather via high pressure then it is to create a storm as storms need insane amounts of energy so the best way is to 'steer' an existing high and make it stay longer. Creating one over the US West will ensure storms go up the left side of it and over to Canada where it's influence is less as storms follow the easiest route.
US weather models tend to be stuck on 'history' and analogs which no longer apply but the models don't know that nor do the programmers who live in the past. Weather bloggers are JUST figuring out what I've been telling them since 2015 that things are going to go thru major changes and models need to update to newer conditions accepting this permanent ridge and what it means for the world.
La Nina/El Nino or any other ocean conditions have proven it means diddily squat. Whatever this force is is far more powerful then ENSO and other localized effects combined. And the sun has been low activity so the US West should be having long periods of wet/cool but that ain't happening folks is it?
