It's about the cattle, they actually only need a little wall. The pork industry will pay for it.

Been tried before. Supply management or direct subsidy not much difference. Except US and Europe does direct subsidy and we do supply management. US hasn't been able to win softwood lumber fight. So now they will further plug up the court systems that deal with trade with objections to milk and cheese. American corporations are always trying to interfere in our internal matters to support higher profits for themselves. I believe this is one reason folk don't like free trade deals like TPP or the Canada/EU deal. Kettle calling again.

On Canadian milk, Trump's just a louder Obama
In a private meeting inside the White House, the president of the United States groaned about Canadian dairy practices to a visiting Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, lamenting that regulatory changes were hurting U.S. exporters.
The president doing the grousing was Barack Obama.
The basic source of this irritant is a major shift in consumer tastes. In short, natural fats are back in style, replaced by sugar as the human-health bogeyman. According to Canada's federal Dairy Information Centre, American demand for butter increased nearly 20 per cent per capita from 2010 to 2015.
"You used to draw the curtains if you ate butter. (The attitude used to be): 'You're not eating butter, are you?'" said Michael Von Massow, a food economist at the University of Guelph, "Now butter is cool. Everyone says it's healthy. . . . Butter is back."
But that causes a problem, Von Massow says: What to do with all the liquid left over from butter processing? Producers have responded with innovative new dairy drinks and cheeses based on those ingredients. And those ingredients were increasingly making their way into Canada, bypassing the tight controls on traditional dairy products. Canadian farmers insisted their policy-makers fight back — and they did.
In an interview, Bruce Heyman, ex-Ambassador to Canada, explained the powerful U.S. domestic politics of this issue. It so happens the top lawmakers from each party come from a dairy-producing state: New York's Chuck Schumer, the Democrats' leader in the Senate, and Wisconsin's Paul Ryan, the Republican House Speaker.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has met U.S. President Donald Trump's pointed criticism of Canada's dairy industry with calm counterarguments in defence of how Canada prefers to manage its milk.
"Let's not pretend that we're in a global free market when it comes to agriculture," he told Bloomberg News editor in chief John Micklethwait during a question and answer session in Toronto Thursday, "Every country protects for good reason its agricultural industries. We have a supply management system that works very well here in Canada. The Americans and other countries choose to subsidize to the tunes of hundreds of millions of dollars, if not billions of dollars, their agriculture industries, including their dairy."
The "terrible" plight of American dairy farmers has captured the attention of U.S. politicians of all stripes as the U.S. sector grapples with the twin difficulties of overproduction and low global prices for milk. *which is what a supply management system is designed to avoid*
"How certain governors are speaking to certain constituencies on that, it's politics," Trudeau said. "At the same time, the U.S. has a $400-million dairy surplus with Canada. So it's not Canada that is the challenge here."
*more Trump bluster and posturing*

I used to LIKE "Cheeseheads" - but then Ryan came along, and now this scam from LandOLakes, Chump, et al.
Typical. If we in Amarika can't have ALL the marbles, then we'll make it ugly for all the other kids.
Really?
