Sticking point is how much access U.K. producers should have to the Canadian cheese market

We want to replace the US as our go to trade partner, we are going to need to increase our trading with other countries

As an aside we shouldn’t be shipping unrefined oil products anywhere
But for raw trade we have potash, uranium, and asbestos
Raw Aluminum is way higher than anyone ever expects – cheap electricity means it’s refined here.

Aluminum is a good example for why we shouldn’t trade with the US (soft wood as well and everything else) because Trump took office and blocked Aluminum imports from Canada so China could sell more
I shudder to think what country would want to actually buy asbestos. All I can think about is how much of a pain in the ass it is to clean up once used in construction.
It’s fucking amazing through. If it weren’t for the instant cancer thing it would be used in 1000 household products, electronics, automotive parts, airplanes, space shit, even clothes. There are a few places where the benefits still outweigh the risks though, also places like Russia and China where they don’t give a shit.
Mainly used in cement and cars today
Fun fact, most countries still allow asbestos in a lot of products, including the States. Canada has an outright ban since 2018, which includes in concrete materials.
It’s a pain in the ass to deal with when we come across old asbestos concrete sewer pipes and have to dispose of them properly. It’s weird that a lot of other countries are still producing it.
