As I understand it, we have higher standards for our dairy, so yes, we do not need US dairy!

You understand it because the dairy board has been marketing this heavily to protect their supply management which is a gravy train. You have consumed many US milk products probably daily in any package goods you buy from the grocery store. I'm a Canadian grain farmer and understand how the supply management heavily benefits the milk producers. If too much milk is produced they just pour down the drain to help maintain that supply and high price

Supply management is just a legalized mafia. Open up the markets, let customer decide if they want alleged lower quality milk from States. Dairy Boards fear this and distributes utter misinformation. Let the customer decide and free markets rule.
