The British foreign secretary has often been mocked for her preoccupation with cheese. It started eight years ago when Liz Truss expressed outrage in a speech to her party’s annual conference.

Now Truss is facing another battle over cheese, this time with Canada.

When it was a European Union member, Britain was part of the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement with Canada, giving it some access to Canada's cheese market. Goodale said the U.K.’s request for extra access for British cheese — on top of the access given to the EU — is “what the Canadian negotiators consider to be pretty much a dead end.”

In 2018, after the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement gave the U.S. fresh access to the Canadian dairy market, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he would compensate Canadian dairy farmers. This allows U.K. cheese exporters to access the Canadian market tariff-free under the EU portion of Canada’s World Trade Organization cheese tariff rate quota.

In March, U.K. Trade Secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan flew to Canada to announce with Canada’s Trade Minister Mary Ng that bilateral negotiations had officially begun. But she was also firm about the need to protect Canada’s dairy producers, and that means keeping more British cheese out.

Save our Stilton

Canadians have been ripped off on the cost of dairy our whole lives.

TDotGinger I would be very wary of making any deal with the current UK Gov. I’m not a ’trade expert’, but a UK citizen whose country is being held hostage by a crime syndicate.

We don't want ur British trash product where the dairy farmers are exploited by big aggregates like Aria selling their milk at a loss. U got urself into your own mess by the fact that your country only makes booze and guns. You can have some LNG off us tho!

It's called free negotiated trade.

Baby formula crisis caused by flaws of 'managed trade' in Canada, U.S., experts say\u0027This is fundamentally a dairy product, and so it\u0027s caught up in the whole ugly mix of supply management, and the whole ugly mix of U.S. dairy export politics\u0027 'The company expects the plant to be operating again within two weeks, but warns it will take up to two months before its output is fully back on store shelves.'
