Fantastic to see @queensulaw alumn Brendan Robertson argue for 🇨🇦 in the first-ever CPTPP dispute brought by NewZealand over Canada's administration of its tariff-rate quotas on dairy products.

Why does @TSN_Sports not cover Canadian tennis? @leylahfernandez is currently playing in the #NationalBankOpen and I’m stuck watching the World Juniors “pre-show”

"Canada to ban handgun imports"

https://t.co/roPtukVnW6

This is likely justified under GATT/USMCA exceptions, although not banning domestically produced guns as well could make the ban "arbitrary" or "unjustifiable" under the chapeau.

I always say the Jessup is like a family wedding when you get to see your favourite cousins from far away. I can’t wait to get back to DC for #Jessup2023

What happens when trade in a good is linked to #biodiversity - #climatechange? The heart of #WTO dispute DS600.

If a measure purports to protect human/animal/plant life or health, does not mean it meets GATT XX(g). #tradetwitter

Is the standard to high for climate change era?

Kudos to all the law students who have literally been fighting for our lives on Instagram these last few days trying to combat misinformation and fear-mongering re: the SCC’s recent decision in Brown.

Look to 3.A.3(8) of CUSMA.

Serious question: Is there a baby formula shortage in Canada ? If not why not. The answer may tell us more about our USA trade policy and how it can cause unintended consequences.

[Meagan Vestby @MVestbee]

Portugal and a couple other EU countries, if I remember correctly.

[Meagan Vestby @MVestbee]

“Supply chain issues” lol … why is no one talking about the fact the U.S. negotiated an export threshold on baby formula when negotiating USMCA. #tradetwitter #internationaltrade https://t.co/vG8nQ2HflY

@natebehar11 Is it weird that I like it.

Someone's been watching the USMCA panel process, I see.
