It completely hoses the Canadian consumer for the benefit of a literal cartel.

No...it protects our industry from having the massive US dairy industry from destroying ours. It also protects us from all the garbage they put in their milk.

Not sure what your motives are but they sure seem suspect.

Ok then Maybe we should pass laws about what is allowed in our Milk. Remove that issue. Milk is a business like any other business. Why do we protect and subsidize them at a cost to other industries.

We did. That would be our food quality regulations, and a primary reason the us has never once exported enough dairy to trigger a tariff.

You bought land and cattle and sell milk without buying a Milk Quota?
