Carney says no to supply management changes.
Even if we did allow more US dairy in Canada (to keep Trump happy) would anyone buy it? I know I wouldn’t even if it was cheaper. Don’t need hormones and antibiotics in my dairy.

I take serious issue with the US trying to bully Canada into making changes to our rules, regulations and trying to overrun our markets with American products. The US can promote their own businesses and markets and tell us to not intrude on their laws, that is fine, that's them,
