  1. So that’s one of those lucrative trade deals Brexit would bring!

  3. >[Canada’s government](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-68098177) had been facing political pressure from domestic cheese producers. It had also been pushing for the UK to relax a ban on hormone-treated beef, which its producers say effectively shuts them out of the British market.

    UK doesn’t want to import hormone-treated beef as that would be against it’s food standards (and would harm it’s farmers), Canada is pushing for this, so that it would allow access to UK made Cheese as a trade-off. It’s a stalemate at the moment.

  5. Send over liz truss to have a word with them. She’ll have it sorted in no time.

  7. I can’t wait for both of them to tell on each other to Charles.

  9. After Brexit, I think the UK needs this more than Canada. They’ll be back.

  10. If I’m being honest I’m not sure i want hormone treated beef to come over

  12. Look on the bright side: With more people emigrating from the UK because of how the situation there is developing they‘ll end up not needing all the extra funding that was promised for NHS anymore.

  14. Liam Fox was saying it would be easy (after Brexit) to do trade deals between the UK and non-EU countries. This somewhat proves otherwise. So much for those “sunlit upland” Brexit benefits…

  15. See if they built the Ottawall this wouldn’t have been a concern.

  17. I mean who the hell is going to take justin trudeau and his party of idiots seriously? Im sure this bunch couldn’t negotiate their way out of a paper bag

  18. Any scientific papers regarding Canada’s hormone beef being bad available?

  20. Would you be interested in a trade agreement with England?
