Ontario milk pricing policies adopted last April are hurting U.S. exports of ultra-filtered milk used to make dairy products, costing thousands of American jobs especially in border states like Wisconsin and New York, said a letter sent Wednesday to the incoming president and his trade nominees.
NAFTA's*demise would devastate U.S. auto industry, think-tank's report says
Why Trump's new trade representative could take a 'hard line' with Canada
The policy allows Canadian dairy processors to buy domestic milk at world market prices instead of higher prices controlled by the national supply management system. The U.S. dairy groups say that provides the processors with an incentive to cut milk imports.
"The entire U.S. dairy industry is being hurt, as milk prices are being driven down nationally by Canada's trade actions," they wrote.
The groups say an ongoing effort to implement a national policy puts further pressure on American communities that export milk and other dairy products to Canada.
The U.S. dairy sector says they are already restricted to the Canadian market by "exorbitant tariffs" and limited market access.

Because, excuse me, but being sued for protectionism by Trump would give a whole new sense to the word ''hypocrisy''...as well as being business as usual for Canadians (since 1867, the American conception of either ''protectionism'' and ''free trade'' is ''you buy our stuff at our price, but we find flimsy excuses to not allow you to do the same'')
Do as I say, not as I do
Another thread on Canada and also on Trump. At least people are combining them, should cut down on clutter.
No, really, you don't think it's pretty shameless to ask the POTUS to sue another country for protectionnism ?
