Its a tough call and very costly to implement after all these years. Half of Canada's dairy industry resides in Quebec, and if Ontario is included its 80%. Can you imagine the political unrest in Quebec?

Dairy industries in Canada and the U.S.: By the numbers - National ...

globalnews.ca

Apr 20, 2017 - About 80 per cent of Canadian dairy production is in Ontario and Quebec. ... READ MORE: Donald Trump takes aim at Canada's dairy industry. – The U.S. has over 49,000 dairy farms ... Dairy industry statistics · Dairy statistics.

I guess it could be done, although politically very difficult, and costly. No doubt the FEDs would bail out bankrupt farmers to make it palatable. How much would that cost us all?

You drink way too much Orange maggot cool aid. Nothing but verbal diarrhea comes out of his pie hole. The last thing he asked for was free trade.....the chump wants American free access to market for hugely subsidized American products with out reciprocal access for Canada and the EU....And by the way if we are a security threat to the US and as he said today he is going to cost us in Canada a lot of money because our PM stood up for Canada then I suggest he get all his military bases out of Canada. When the poop hits the fan and it will do not look to Canada again for any kind of support.

Kiwis could do that because they are an island nation, also have a unicameral parliament and absence of our eternal fed-prov bickering over jurisdiction, but mostly they have this wonderful moat, like the English Channel writ large, they don't even take much crap from aussies, who are far closer than anybody else ... plus their roots are still largely british - check out the lyrics to Rule Britannia!, that's a celebration of the Channel and of all benefits thereof, how no matter whether it's Bonaparte or the Kaiser or some eurocrat in Brussels who rules Europe, a wee stretch of water helps to insulate the Sceptr'd Isle from harm ... in the original latin sense of 'insulate'

We don't have that here, we've got an imaginary line on the map, speak the same language, have a very high proportion of cross-border family ties, centuries of shared history, and the planet's largest cross-border trade

Dairy hasn't made sense here for years, when the quota is worth that much more than the cows, but all the various tariffs and limits on softwood lumber haven't made sense either, neither side is blameless and it's a complex situation not easily settled ... check out what happens around the 'Commerce Department' in DC - 'Best government money can buy', they say, and like it that way ... as for the Orange One, just a few days ago he caved to the corn lobby and extended the clearly anti-market ethanol requirements for motor fuel, which he had said he wasn't going to do ... add in the absurd 'security risk' shit-slinging he does, and me i'd have serious enduring trust issues with that one, quite a few others as well including Messrs Dressup and Butts yes, note though that they speak for the mouse not the elephant
