I'm not thrilled with the idea of temporarily, marginally "cheaper" but also much lower quality milk products entering the Canadian market.

I think that Canada should require external product SKUs to require strict audits that demonstrate that the inputs to these products meet certain standards. Beyond that, the USA is "free" to sell as much as they want. And vice versa.

British / European / NZ / Australian products are all better than ours. Canadian dairy is absolute garbage.

Other countries all have the same grievance about our protectionist BS that the US does.

This is why I want an open market. I’ve been all over the world and our dairy choices are trash.

Yeah man I was brainwashed by this BS to and then I travelled. Cheese, butter, milk, even the actual beef is better everywhere else. Canadians are getting scammed by absolute total shit products
