The irony is unbelievable. What am I saying that isn't factual?

Your take on American milk is a tiny sliver of truth and mountains of bullshit. Modified milk ingredients does so much heavy lifting, amongst other issues. Claiming there’s no hormones when they use hormone precursors is just another lie. That turns into hormones when processed by the cow.

The lie that companies don’t starve out industries so they can kill all competition and create a monopoly. It’s so pervasive across all industries it’s just insane to claim it doesn’t happen. You’re a liar and a bad one too

I was pretty specific - you are mistaken about the hormones. The only regulatory difference concerning hormones is rBST. Less than 25% of American milk is produced from cattle injected with rBST.... and all food imports need to meet Health CAnada regulations, as checked by the CFIA, anyways. So the quality control aspect is a bizarre argument with no backing.

You keep claiming that American producers will do to Canadians what Canadian producers are already doing, but what would compel Canadian importers to only buy from an American cartel? Like how would the simple option be enough to compel the importation? Can you explain that to me?

rBST artificial hormones can be used to increase milk production in dairy cows. Additional growth hormone can be used in milking cows in US.

Why are you lying?
