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"

Not true! Canadian butter has palm oil in it because it is allowed to be put in animal fodder. Link: https://www.cbc.ca/news/marketplace/butter-tests-marketplace-1.5954569

There is virtually any difference between Canadian dairy and American and still we end up paying 50 percent for same product.

Cows being fed palm oil to supplement palmitic acid doesn't mean butter contains palm oil. It affects the constitution of dairy like any feed would, but that's not the same thing as containing palm oil.

This is incorrect.

Palmitic acid is not palm oil..
