The dairy tariff is what it is --- 290%. are you challenging that number? I understand the tariffs are there to protect the Canadian dairy industry from being overwhelmed by cheaper dairy exports from the US.

My point is there are better ways to deal with these issues than for Trudeau to publicly scold President Trump. That is a dangerous strategy to choose just to win votes in next year's federal election.

I also agree with many on this thread that the President has mistakenly chosen to single out Canada with regards to trade surpluses. As mentioned by another poster, Canada enjoys a trade surplus with the US, whilst the US enjoys a current account surplus with Canada.

I believe Trudeau has dangerously chosen to piss of the president but at the end of the day, cooler heads will prevail and this nascent trade war will be but a bad memory.
