FP: That old meany Donald Trump, the alt-factualizing president of the United States, is targeting poor innocent Canadian dairy farmers and the sacred text of the North American Free Trade Agreement. What an insult Trump has thrown on Canada’s institutions. We’re as clean as a cow-herding dog whistle on dairy trade. Whatever problems U.S. farmers may have with falling demand and prices, they are “due to U.S. and global overproduction” of dairy milk. Nothing to do with us upright Canadians.
That’s the official load of cow pie from Canada. What we have in reality is another Canadian dairy-farmer supply-management scam implemented — as usual — at the expense of Canadian consumers of dairy products.
