"Diplomacy over war is undeniably the better option". -- Seth Meyers. The rest of the 'comedy' in the segment is irrelevant in the big picture. Trump's accomplishments continue to build.

Monad...good job bringing some facts, logic and perspective to the discussion. It's rare in a Seth Meyers anti-Trump propaganda vid.

emotionscomeandgo.... very well said. It's important to provide perspective to these discussions. I particularly liked your use of the term 'propaganda'. Comments like yours force people to think. And maybe do a few minutes of research on an issue.

Krafty Kathleen...you make many good points. And thanks for pointing out the "access to market" ratio. I'll do some research on your data. I think you agreed that it's Canadians who pay more for dairy than Americans? The supply management issue is why. I disagree it's "over production" (since Canadian production is regulated by quotas). And your mention of taxes is apt. Canadians are taxed to the hilt. That's where its "free" healthcare comes from. Most Americans have no idea how bad it is up there for taxes.

Camilla M..... 1. You're unable to speak for the 36 million people in Canada. Your comment is like someone living in California (with 40 million people) saying "We Californians will not be intimidated". 2. Don't feel empowered by the "likes" for your comment. This is a Seth Meyer's propaganda vid. The anti-Trump cult is here in the hundreds. They'll give 'likes' to anything anti-Trump. But of course, you knew that. Why else would you use the regurgitated term 'agent orange'.

icin4d....Thanks for offering some reasonable discussion points. In the big picture, Trump wants a better NAFTA deal for the US. People are getting too emotional about simple negotiating strategies. The dairy issue is a big one. Canada controls supply of its dairy (and poultry) products to artificially increase their value. It's called "supply management". This means Canadians actually pay more than they should for their own products. And when you add the 270% tariff Canada levies on American dairy products, it gets worse. For example, it's estimated Canadians pay $600/year more than Americans for dairy/cheese. Trump's mention of dairy is helping educate Canadians on their own government's brutal trade policies. And he's right to call out Canada's protectionist and archaic trade/supply management policies.

John Booth...You make many good points. I learned a few things from the Alberta milk website. I always find it interesting how jurisdictions spin stories to defend their trade practices. Or in this case, their supply management policies. As I said earlier, It's good that Canadians are learning from the US trade negotiations why they spend about $600 more per year than Americans for dairy and poultry products. It's all due to their "supply management" practices. (Of course, I'd be remiss to not mention the US also provides massive subsidies for farmers of certain products...and has its own supply management strategies that hurt US consumers). I think the difference between SCC and rBST levels in Canadian vs US milk is negligible... and a non-issue in terms of what you call "quality". It's like comparing the level of ANY aspect of a food product to the microscopic level. And every jurisdiction can provide some version of data to allege their product is superior or 'healthier' (which is a VERY subjective term). After doing a bit of research, I also learned Canada is importing a huge amount of a US dairy product called "ultrafiltered milk" (a US invention). It's used in the making of "Canadian" cheese. Major US plants have been built to service Canadian demand for the product. I didn't research the SCC and rBST levels of this US product that Canada is using to make their cheese...;) The link below is an excellent summary of the whole dairy discussion. It references all the concepts under discussion in this area, including supply management. I think it's a more neutral source than the Alberta milk site you provided. https://ipolitics.ca/2017/04/22/dairy-101-the-canada-u-s-milk-spat-explained/

Please provide this "evidence" you refer to. And remember, evidence needs to be fact-based. It can't be ad-hominem attacks, subjective opinions, conspiracy theories, involve Trump's wife/family, or any un-substantiated garbage from propaganda shows. I look forward to your fact-based evidence that focuses on the things that matter. For example, the economy, jobs, foreign policy, corporate investment, energy security, housing-starts, national security, immigration, tax reform (etc, etc). And remember: Trump's massive accomplishments in less than 2 years have almost nothing to do with Obama. The statistics and trends show this fact. All that said, I look forward to hearing your "evidence" that Trump is a failure.
