这段更是揭露了supply-managed sectors的丑恶弊端

And, of course, looming over it all are the provincial supply-managed sectors, those parochial relics of 1970s statism. The scare-tactics they use with respect to free trade with the United States – hormone-laced milk and the need for "food security" – may not apply to interprovincial barriers, but that doesn't stop them from defending the vital importance of protecting Quebec shoppers from the temptations of Ontario cheese and Manitoba chickens.

No federal government wants to pick a fight with all ten provinces, three territories, and the well-funded agricultural marketing boards simultaneously, so instead they dither and dissemble, hoping we won't notice that, within our own borders, our leaders are everything that we accuse Trump of being: bullying, blinkered and economically-ignorant.

      So why isn't Trudeau even talking about it as part of a national response to Donald Trump's belligerence?

      The reasons are, depressingly, similar to why we are having trouble renegotiating NAFTA. It turns out interprovincial trade is not so different from international trade, shrunk to fit our domestic divisions. Within their provincial bailiwicks, our premiers are pint-d Trumps and Trudeaus, simultaneously demanding fairness from their neighbours and special protections for their own industries.
