Donald Trump has been making a lot of noise the past few days about Canada's protection of its dairy industry, and cites that practice as the justification for the steel and aluminum tarrifs he has levied on Canada (along with other nations).

These seem to be legitimate points.

I haven't found any good arguments from Canada's side as to why they have been putting such high tarrifs on US dairy and why they feel this is justified and within the spirit of free trade.

Can anyone provide the Canadian arguments in favor of their dairy tariffs?
