Nice. Very concise

The problem with getting rid of supply management in Canada is that it would drastically change production (1) Large Farms > 10,000 cows (2) mostly producing for the fluid market (3) industrial market would be smaller & more concentrated

(And dairy)

I went looking last night for why we export aluminum to the U.S. and found this CNBC report. Our competitive advantage is cheap and plentiful hydroelectric power for smelting; the U.S. doesn't have the power domestically.

You know who is the world's second largest exporter of aluminum, after Canada? Russia. Coincidence? I think not.

Let's ask the US military how they feel about their platforms being made from Russian metals.

“Foiled” again.

just get rid off the dairy tariffs already and see how many in Canada will be chugging milk marked as "made in the USA" with much aplomb and enthusiasm.
