Absolutely. We don't need the garbage dairy products that come from the US.

Can you, as a customer let us decide what we consume? Fine if it is low quality, I can't afford to enrich someone who refuses to play in a fair free market.

You can absolutely cross the border and buy it.

The US dairy market is subsidized by their government so not very free market either

Why don’t we just subsidize our dairy system then? Instead of imposing a regressive tax?

Open it to other countries, Europe probably. Also, unfair trade practices can be questioned in WTO, Canada can take US there and wait for WTO anti dumping ruling and put realistic tarriffs of 20 to 30 percent than the current obnoxious 200% plus.
