Dairy industry finally showing signs of common sense
It was not the G7 most expected. Not even close. But should we be surprised?
As U.S. President Donald Trump lashes out on Twitter against Canadian dairies, Canada is beginning to realize that there may be no North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) 2.0 after all. Washington is apparently aiming for two separate deals.
But over the last few months, those paying attention have recognized how our supply management scheme, which protects dairy farmers, can gradually adapt to the new global competitive reality.
It’s happening without a revised policy framework, and with no vision or any strategy for the sector. Our American friends are clearly not playing along.
