I think the Supply Management process should be phased out. It will be hard on some operations if they don't adjust. And how do they adjust, by global marketing, artisanal cheese, UHT packaged milk for the Europeans, milk solids for the gym fanatics, and new innovative products.

That aside, for the issue at hand, the US already exports more than 5 times the milk products to Canada than it imports. Taking a page from the Trump Playbook - "that is very very unfair". But...the arrogance of the President comes out - Canada should succumb and let more products be imported so he can make America Great Again (at someone else's expense).

Supply Management has created a cozy environment for our Dairy farmers by keeping the world at bay, but has stifled Canadian ingenuity at marketing to the world, created friction with many of our closest trading partners, and cost Canadian consumers some more money than necessary. Let's see the end of it, in a controlled progressive way.
