Most are applauding Chapman’s Ice Cream for replacing American ingredients. Fine.
But ice cream is made primarily from dairy, and Canadian dairy is protected by supply management.
So why the hell was Chapman’s using so many American ingredients in the first place?

New: In a phone call with me after U.S.-Canada trade negotiations collapsed, President Trump suggested the US had added conditions late during talks.
“That sounds like me,” Trump responded, when asked about Canadian officials' assertion about US late-stage demands.
When I pressed, “So you don't deny it?”
The president replied, “No, no, I don't deny anything. So no, they have to pay a fair amount. And if they don't pay a fair amount, we won't make a deal. That's fine.“

I'm sorry we never got a chance to meet, but getting this note from Dolly really had a an impact on me. She definitely didn't have to take the time to do it. Even for a kid who mostly listened to rap music, she was an icon. A superstar in every sense. Rest easy Dolly. And thank you for the kind words.
Canada is a major net energy exporter to the US, but yes—significant volumes of oil, gas, and electricity that Canada uses do come from or transit through the US.
Eastern Canadian refineries rely heavily on Enbridge pipelines (like Line 5) that carry western Canadian crude through the US Midwest before re-entering at Sarnia. Canada also imports hundreds of thousands of barrels/day of US crude and refined products, plus substantial natural gas to Ontario/Quebec and cross-border electricity for grid balancing. The systems are deeply integrated.
@ValerieMoore I'm no fan of PP by any means, but cmon you have to admit it's the right thing to do at this time.... Partisanship aside. We need to be united against Trump and now isn't the time to be taking sides in Canadian politics. They need to work together and we have to demand it.
Carney says Canada pulled out of trade negotiations because of “last-minute changes in the proposed terms that were unfair, uneconomic and called into question the reliability of any deal.”
US Trade Rep. Greer says Canada “declined to finalize the trade deal under the terms agreed earlier this week.”
The Canadian people need to know what these last-minute changes were and we also need a better picture of Canada’s red lines in negotiations.
Providing clarity at this pivotal time in the history of our country would not constitute negotiating in public, nor would it undermine Canada’s position to publicize the details of what happened last night.
Before passing judgement, I encourage commentators to await further information and detail.
@kinsellawarren This "going to be hard" doesn't land well from you. Thousands upon thousands of people less privileged than you are already going through it, it's already hard.
