American consumers are paying more for sweets than do Canadians, for example, and some American candy manufacturers, for whom sugar is the main ingredient, are moving to Canada and other places around the globe.

Because of "Free trade" candy manufacturers can move to countries with less stringent food sanitation rules than the US. It costs less to produce if you don't have to keep your plant as sanitary as in the US. Why don't these article talk about the lack of regulation when relocating or the lack of sanitation? Maybe because people won't keep buying their products if the MSM does talk about this? Maybe its easier to demonize an entire industry-- the evil US sugar barons or the RICH evil US sugar barons are a much easier target, I guess.
