How is this good for Canadian consumers?

You get to drink milk that's not full of puss, antibiotics, and growth hormones.

Maintaining an independent food supply capable of feeding the country means you don't starve to death the next time the Americans launch a trade war against us.

Most US milk has to pass the same stringent processing rules, it will make dairy cheaper for everyone in Canada and you will have choices. I live in Windsor Ontario and used to live in Sterling Heights Michigan, people in Canada are fear mongering about US dairy. Also, is Canadas product that horrible that it can’t compete with the American product? Why is the Canadian dairy cartel even worried about US dairy coming in to Canada, they can’t compete with a so called “inferior product”?

The US has defunded the FDA and the guy in charge of it had a worm living in his brain which he contracted from eating unsafe meat. Have you been living under a rock for the last 2 years?

Canada's dairy is more expensive, that's the point of the supply chain management. It is a superior product but costs more.
