Do you know why a tariff would be used in that case rather than just banning milk imports? i imagine it is because we do import milk from the u.s. but want to discourage 'dumping'. according to the alberta milk board, we allow the first 10 per cent in with no tariffs, whereas the u.s. only allows three per cent of their imports to come in without tariffs. we’re the big importers, a five-to-one trade imbalance with the U.S. on dairy alone. trump and kudlow don't tell you that. they would have you believe u.s. tariffs on aluminum and steel are in response to canadian tariffs on dairy products which is utter nonsense. some information: dairyfarmers.ca "The trade balance between Canada and the United States for dairy products is 5:1. This means Canada imports five times the amount of dairy it exports to the US. "
