    Supply management on dairy. The yanks have hated that for a while, but there’s a bunch of Quebecois dairy farmers who really like it. I’m guessing that Carney is giving up the DST since it doesn’t have a constituency - if that allows him to keep supply management on dairy, it’ll be easier to keep Quebec’s support during the next election.

    It’s not only Quebecois who don’t want American Dairy. Sask here, we better not drop those fucking dairy tariffs.

        From what I’ve seen, Canada’s agriculture sectors have had a rough time over the past few decades: production is consolidating into a handful of players, profit margins are sinking, while those further up the supply chain seem to be enjoying most of the profits (and prices for the consumer aren’t improving). Dairy farmers have done really well compared to their peers in other sectors. I’m okay paying a bit more for dairy if it keeps them doing well.

          Canada is just calling the US’s bluff, because it’s not actually about the DST. Now Canada has proof they’re negotiating in good faith with an admin that couldn’t care less about honouring deals.

            It’s not even a matter of paying more for dairy, we would not have dairy farmers if we allowed American Dairy to flood our borders. https://youtu.be/PjBdZPnaDfc they literally have a massive underground facility because of the amount of cheese they overproduce.

              ABC results in voting NDP and sometimes Green, Animal Liberation, etc. but not CPC or LPC.

              Maybe in theory, but liberals never reciprocate. We gave up multiple incumbent ridings to the Conservatives because people voted for Carney instead of the incumbent NDP, who were IMO better candidates.

                The explanation is money. Now let’s stop this shit. Time to get organized. Start or join a protest group. Let’s not wait until it’s too late like south of us.

                    Listen, Canadians, you don’t need those tariffs-shmariffs. Just stop buying US shit. That’s it. No matter if that is alcohol or software. Stop buying it. And tariffs become just a stupid number for stupid Trump to drool upon.

                        Because we’re always told they don’t have a shot.

                        But, let’s just say, as of today, nobody votes liberal again. It would likely be the party that also gave use universal healthcare to at least take a minority.

                        No more vote splitting.

                        The only party that is remotely aligned with the people is the NDP. (And some greens.)

                            Y’all are remembering that it’s us Canadians that will be paying this tax, right? It’s not going to affect any company’s bottom line in the slightest.

                              Since you said something similar in response to a different post, I’ll give a similar response to the one I did there:

                              I have my doubts that Canadian companies would have all increased their google/facebook ad budgets over this.

                              Anyway if it didn’t matter to those companies then why were they so opposed to it

                                If nobody votes for the party that actually represents their interests, then shockingly the party that represents their interests will not have a shot. It’s a self-defeating strategy.

                                “Strategic” voting is a long term recipe for a US-style system where there’s only room for two parties.
