And yet the US government subsidizes their dairy farmers through various federal programs to the tune of over $20B a year. So we’re not even talking about our supply management system until addressing how they prop up their own dairy industry.
Of course he will, there is always something.
At the end of the day, we do not want their disgusting milk
Good.
Delivering an instant 70% off dairy prices in the grocery store would help all Canadians.
I will not drink US milk even if it is the last milk available. I had little confidence in their quality controls before King Taco DOGEd the living hell out of their food inspection system. Who knows what in that stuff at this point.
As someone who actively wants supply management removed, I’m not sure how that would happen now since we’ve legally enshrined it’s protection in future trade talks. The government would basically have to rescind a law it’s already implemented to even start negotiating the process. Additionally since the policy is so heavily supported by our political establishment, even in the event where it’s back on the table, it’s likely that we’d only give up a small additional percentage of market access like we did back in 2017 etc.
There’s merits to putting supply management on the table with future negotiations with the U.S (ideally for the next administration since they’ll be less likely to change their stance based on personal whims), but I feel like Carney has tied his hands regarding the issue. If he rescinds the policy he came up with to enshrine it, he’ll never escape the „sellout“ narrative, even if the country would be better off without SM.
For those of us that want the policy gone, our best hope is either that it’s done unilaterally as a domestic policy change or that we allow it to be re-negotiated again in the years/decades after Trump.
Trump has being whining about supply management for months, why is this headline making it sound like Trump might suddenly “come for it”?
We increased the quotas a little bit with the renegotiation of NAFTA, but there wasn’t even any need, since tariffs have never had to be applied with the old quotas. We just aren’t buying US dairy or Canadian grocers aren’t importing it.
This is why I didn’t like the capitulation on the DST. Not because I thought the DST was a good idea, not because I didn’t think that rescinding it for the sake of national interests was a pragmatic approach – because this shit is never going to end until he’s out of office. As soon as we give, they’ll be onto the next gimme.
Supply management is non-negotiable. We all know this. Mark Carney knows this. It is as Canadian as the Maple Leaf. Non-negotiable.
If Trump demands that Canada give up supply management as part of any trade deal, I fully expect Carney to stand firmly for Canada, and cut off all trade and diplomatic relations with the US until such time as a more reasonable American government is elected.
If by ‚avoided a trade setback‘ you mean ‚rolled over to every Trump whim‘ then that would be accurate. I used to think that law making supply management off limits wasn’t needed, and we often play with the edges of it in trade deals, but considering our record so far, I’m glad it’s there so it’s not given away too.
I don’t think Carney will cave again. He’s still building other relationships and we may not have a choice but to sell more to China. That also has its risks but as sketchy as they are, they are more reliable than Trump’s US.
