America is finally waking up to their "ally" to the North. I have yet to see American dairy or cheese at multiple grocery stores when it would be reasonably expected that cheaper options would be welcome by the broke Canadian consumer. As usual, Canada engages in protectionism while pretending they are not. Nepotism and hypocrisy at it's finest.
America also now seems focused on finally returning good paying auto jobs back to USA. Canada is a parasite in the exchange of jobs, the only G7 nation without a domestically developed auto industry as we don't innovate or allow the best talent to rise (it's why they often leave). In other words, we want American corporations to fund our kakistocracy of government and covert police family members (always in management of course) at GM, Ford and others, while Canada offers zero jobs in return.
Along with lumber and other issues which the U.S is confronting Canada on, maybe the few like myself who have will never have justice in our own country of birth can at least inform Americans why they shouldn't view Canada through the prism of the P.R campaigns our governments fund.
Just as with CETA where Europe has decided to disregard Canadian interests and simply export, America should force the same on Canada until we respect civil liberties, Market Forces, capitalism, democratic values and the economic National Security of it's neighbours.

Canada has lost the first-ever dispute case under the new North American trade agreement, with a panel siding with the U.S. and saying Ottawa flouted part of its obligation to open the dairy market.
The three-member panel — made up of a Uruguayan diplomat who was once ambassador to Canada, a Canadian trade lawyer based in the U.S., and a U.S. trade lawyer named to the panel by Canada — agreed that Canada violated its promise to allow slightly more dairy imports by imposing unfairly complicated rules.
The U.S. says Canada now has a few weeks to comply with the ruling, or face the possibility of a trade penalty such as a tariff.
The finding comes amid a succession of trade disputes between the countries that risk souring the bilateral relationship.
"We prevailed — as we thought we would," a senior official in the U.S. Trade Representative's office told reporters in a briefing Tuesday.
