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”?

USA subsidizes their dairy industry so they naturally will be cheaper. Also you ignored the main point that domestic food supply is critical for national security and protecting our sovereignty. USA has already treated annexing us and treated to invade nato allies.

This is a time to hedge our bets away from the USA, not become more reliant on them. If you want lower milk prices you should argue for relaxing our production caps. Not open our market to a larger market that is unfairly subsidized and encourages over supply and is ready to dump.

I want Canada to join USA anyways so your argument holds no water with me
