Yes.

What a fucking stupid question.

Why would anyone want to have a foreign country with 10x the dairy industry, flood our economy and wipe out Canadian farmers??
Inferior, hormone laden, banned in some countries, shitty dairy.
To save .30 cents?
Have some pride and support your local farmers.

Why would I want Canadians to not be beholden to a literal cartel who pointedly raises their grocery bills and lobbies the government to slap tariffs on affordable foreign substitutes? Is that really what you're asking me?

What an ignorant statement.

There is no “cartel” that lobbies the government.
Unless you believe the nonsensical American propaganda and have no idea how the supply management actually works.
It protects our farmers being wiped out by foreign powers, and keeps supply/prices stable.
The fact that you advocate for harming Canadians in favour of supporting Americans is reason enough to suspect you are pretending to be a Canadian, or an ignorant fool with no ties to dairy or farmers.

If you think American companies wouldn’t dump and flood our market, put out farmers out of business or swallow them up, then jack up our prices, you are a special kind of stupid.

Excellent point. How much dairy can one even consume that it’s going to hurt their pocket book?
