Their dairy farmers would cry bloody murder.
Same way our dairy farmers would cry bloody murder if we ended supply management.
The americans are not arguing in good faith.

Sounds familiar for all colours and levels of government - in the words of the Deputy Minister (that's what he'd be called in Canada) from "Yes, Minister" ....
Meanwhile, here's a take on the latest from Vance's schoolmate, via x.com.

Watch out for this snake. JD's good buddy from school who thinks he can negotiate on our behalf. He'll make a power play for Poilievre's job before long.

He will end Pierres career as leader of the opposition, but no way he wins the leadership. Harper and Poillievre will actively tank this man.

Taking cues from the coach, who said the BC Tory leadership race result was a "big win against liberal lobbyists from out east," referring to Kory Teneycke who helped the didn't-win candidate.

Fine. They can get their potash and aluminum from someplace else then.
I was never confident that any we we agreed to would stick anyway. He upended CUSMA, he would have upended whatever this was going to be.
If their 'Security and Energy' demands are accurate, how can anyone on our side say that was something we should agree to?

For clarity, USMCA (CUSMA to us) has that section already. It’s nothing new. What was new was Carney suddenly announcing that he had signed a trade deal with a non-Party to allow Chinese vehicles into the market. Yes, he did that to overcome Chinese tariffs on canola, potash and other goods. But it’s an example of Canada being forced to breach an agreement that was already breached by the USA, to facilitate agricultural and resource trade that was essentially embargoed by China.
Again, all sides in this are outright liars and manipulators. Almost everything Trump does is a violation of USMCA. Almost everything we do to protect our economy from Trump is a violation of USMCA.
The most damaging thing Carney could have done is get into bed with China. And he did that with no hesitation because China manipulated a bad situation between Canada and the USA.
It’s all insane.

He signed an agreement to admit vehicles into a restricted market. China didn’t open up its potash and canola market for no reason.

Which, as per the text of what you posted, is not a free trade deal.
We lowered tariffs and agreed to a quota, they lowered tariffs.
No free trade deal was written, or ratified by either nation.
Trump probably should not have deliberately attacked our auto sector if he values that restricted market, then.
He chose to economically attack us in a multitude of sectors. He’s not entitled to dictate our mitigations.

The CEO of Ford has openly talked about partnering with Chinese EV companies about bringing their product into the US - what we did was no different - and - TELSA was brining Chinese made cars into Canada pre 2024. That is the definition of a Chinese car.

So Trump has pissed off Canada and now he's pissed off the US Beef Growers. Good job Donald!
www.businessinsider.com
America's largest association of cattle ranchers says Trump's plan to lower beef prices is 'undermining' farmers
On Friday, Trump said the US would allow up to 300,000 metric tons of beef to be imported with no out-of-quota tariff over the next 90 days.

We should have went with something more useful than Lotus electric cars.
Toyota is barred from offering a range of light truck and commercial trucks in our markets, some of which are quite practical and appealing.
they would just come up with something else. Isn't that the way of the stumpage fee?
and we threw in a police collaboration clause that no one has seen for good measure
