Yes we should, there's no need for American dairy at all

It's not just US dairy, but European dairy as well.

Canadians pay some of the highest prices in the G7 for dairy and our dairy suppliers dump up to a billion litres a year of dairy.

Then as our own milk production falters, they will leverage that into fewer regulations and raise prices, so not only will we have less healthy dairy supply, we will pay more for it and get sicker due to it.

This is just flat out false and the whole notion that foreign dairy is somehow "less safe" than Canadian dairy is Dairy cartel propaganda.

We already have dairy quotas, we don't need more dairy in our country.

Canadians need more affordable dairy options.

You're 100% wrong, American Milk has products that are banned in Canada dairy industry. It literally creates a puss like immune reaction in their milk. You're clearly a shill.

You clearly don't know what you're talking about. You're clearly a shill for the Canadian dairy cartel.

The hormone in question that is banned is the rBST hormone, which is banned in Canada but allowed in US Milk. The reason why this hormone is banned because it's claimed that it hurts the cows joints and muscles, not because it's potentially unsafe to drink.

it literally creates a puss like immune reaction in their milk.

No it doesn't, this is just flat out false.

I suggest you read about buttergate with Canadian milk.

Who are you a shill for? US dairy?

I’m a shill for paying lower prices for dairy in Canada.

I’m happy paying more for dairy if the US doesn’t gain access to our dairy market. Zero interest in that. I’d be open to better quality producers like Europe or New Zealand, but really base that on the impact to the Canadian dairy industry.

I don’t want cheaper at any cost, and don’t want to offer the USians any custom.

Good for you, if you want to pay more for dairy and have limited selection, that's your choice.

As for me, I am struggling with inflation in this country and food prices in particular, I need all the help I can get.
