Prime Minister Mark Carney reaffirmed he'll protect Canada's supply management system, as the United States signalled it's ready to fight over this country's dairy rules at the negotiating table.

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer told members of U.S. Congress Wednesday that Washington is not prepared to extend the Canada-U.S.-Mexico agreement (CUSMA) without addressing "specific and structural issues."

In remarks made public after Greer met with lawmakers behind closed doors, President Donald Trump's point-person on trade said Americans have concerns about "dairy market access in Canada" and "Canada's exports of certain dairy products."

"We've been clear about our approach to supply management. We continue to stand by that. We will continue to protect supply management," the prime minister said.

Honestly after that performance last night, whatever that was, I think Carney and team should pack up and we should just cut our losses. Let them eventually come begging to us, because I don't think that story ends to well for them. There really isn't going to be a cohesive and cooperative way forward for us here anyways, and I'm not so sure Canada comes out of cutting our losses as a loser. I'm starting to think it's the winning strategy. Their economy is a house of cards.

    I can boycott U.S. dairy just as quickly as I have boycotted every other U.S. product.

    Fuck Americans and their cheap, shitty dairy. They have no right to put our farmers out of work.
