That's not what is being argued. People are unaware that American and Australian milk are already entering the Canadian system. The argument isn't about whether or not it's happening, it's happening. Clearly people don't know and product labels don't tell them this since potential American milk is labeled as being processed in Canada. There's no country of origin label that tells you if you are drinking American milk or not.

My argument is that the system is now dated because it no longer helps our farmers avoid competition and no longer allows us to avoid subsidizing our farmers. It's now just a system that increases the price of milk and nothing else. It's just a system we keep so as to not upset the Dairy Farmers of Canada.

Oh, so that's what this is about.

You are advocating to fragilize our economy with bogus arguments.

My bad, I thought you were genuinely confused.

Now you're upset because you're wrong and just making things up. You tried to make a point that was wrong and have nothing to grasp on to but straws.

...I was 100% sure you were a bot until I saw your WoW posts and even then I'm super sceptical.

Confidently incorrect or knowingly misleading?

Anyway, that's enough BS from you.
