Sticking point is how much access U.K. producers should have to the Canadian cheese market

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.

Honestly thank you I'm starting to get old and cranky about the acronym issue.
