But are they old and stocky?


On the eve of crucial talks aimed at sealing a massive Pacific Rim trade deal, Conservative Leader Stephen Harper promised to protect Canada's dairy industry and insisted any decisions around supply management would be made by Canadians, not "foreigners."

Harper said jobs of the future depend on Canada's "privileged access" to world markets. Touting the Conservative trade record, he accused his opponents of wanting to give up when the going gets tough in complex negotiations.

Canadian negotiators are prepared to concede a share of Canada's domestic dairy market to reach an agreement. American negotiators have demanded 10 per cent access to Canada's dairy markets under the TPP, but Canada rejected that proposal during talks in Hawaii in July.
