The recommendation comes in a letter to Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland from Conservative MPs, a copy of which was obtained by The Canadian Press.Dairy was one of the most contentious sectors under discussion during the acrimonious renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement that U.S. President Donald Trump foisted on Canada and Mexico in 2017.
Quebec and Ontario -- Canada's two most vote-rich provinces -- are the main homes of the country's dairy farmers. That and the elimination of classifications of milk protein concentrates, skim milk powder and infant formula "all combine to make the dairy sector the biggest loser of this deal," says the letter.
The government's own economic impact assessment of the new deal, released this week, predicted that Canadian auto exports to the U.S. would decline by US$1.5 billion, the Conservative letter notes. The U.S. and Mexico have formally ratified the new deal, but it is still before Canada's parliament .
Maybe all farmers not just dairy ...but beef. poultry ,swine and fruit and veggie need to start blocking railways too
