Trade goes both ways.
But also, it hurts the Brexit fans when they can't bully their way through trade agreements. World is weird man ;)
We import even less from the UK than we export to them.
Also, lack of a free trade agreement doesn't mean we can't trade with them at all, most of that trade will continue completely fine. It just means that on either side there can be additional tariffs on specific items if the country decides to do that.
A free trade agreement isn't just about goods either. Professional mobility is a wonderful thing. Anyway, I digress. I hope we can work something out. Actually, I hope the UK reverses course and rejoins the EU, but that's another conversation ;)
Never going to happen. They well have less power then before.
And that would be unfortunate for them, but clearer heads may come to the conclusion that they would have more power internationally than they do now.
You'd think they'd have a better understanding of the obscene power that our dairy lobby is. The USA can't even bargain through it I don't know why thought they'd be able to.
The dairy lobby here is more powerful than the gun lobby in the US. It's so powerful that both major parties fully support SM no matter what, and when leadership races happen candidates usually have to commit to maintaining SM during the process. It's so powerful that all the shills that come up with arguments defending SM don't even have to try - every argument they make is bullshit but it doesn't matter because their victory is total.
Ok what the fuck is SM sadomasochism? Cause I read the article checked the thread and there are no definitions or context clues...
Now a large portion of the audience will read your comments coming with my flawed conclusions. And it's at least somewhat funny
Define acronyms For Fucks Sake (FFS)
Supply Management. Dairy is not a free market in Canada. It is a cartel in which each producer gets a quota. The US complains about it constantly because they massively over-produce dairy, which drops the price of US dairy products, which they then want to export to Canada. It would give us consumers lower prices, but would probably kill our dairy indistry. Or at least that's what we are told. I don't have enough knowledge to say whether that story is valid.
You suggest SM is not a good idea but you don't point out an alternative, beggaring the question.
Surely you don't think the American super-capitalist market-forces brochure bait is better.
