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

As an aside we shouldn’t be shipping unrefined oil products anywhere

But for raw trade we have potash, uranium, and asbestos

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.

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.
