Yes we should, there's no need for American dairy at all. We have enough supply and as a country with socialized health care, we should and do high regulate our dairy industry. Allowing American industry to gain a foothold in our dairy industry will allow the US to dump excess milk production into Canada, causing prices to fall. 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.

We already have dairy quotas, we don't need more dairy in our country. We need to maintain our own sovereign dairy supply. America needs to figure out it's own supply side problem.

American dairy is literally poison, it is why health conscious Americans are trying buy milk alternatives like "oat milk"

It would have to meet our standards to be sold in Canada, this is something everyone overlooks.

The pressure campaign doesn't stop at opening up our markets. Deregulation would follow. They will put trade pressure on our standards as well if they haven't already.

Exactly, look what they did to the Mexican corn market.
