LYTLE: As Canada fights for the right to pay more for butter...

'Mr. Trump’s tariffs bring pain to Americans. Our pain comes from Mr. Trudeau’s tariffs.'
Not that dairy products are the only thing up for negotiation during the current tariff nastiness with the US, but as we argue over steel, oil and electricity, it is ironic that maintaining our system of supply management that makes Canadians pay more for milk, cheese and butter would be considered 'a win.' Writer Murray Lytle concludes that China will do well enough to compensate in small measure for their losses in the US market, while Canadians will just boast of "trading our pique for a price hike."
