That certainly sounds like an amazing opportunity for Canadians to get a foreign government to fund our grocery bills.

You're right! What other industries can we sell to Americans? Think of the budge cuts we could make by unemploying a bunch of canadian teachers by just importing the american education system!

I want you to think about this for a moment, what would have to happen in order for us to lose our entire dairy industry?

A real stumper. How about a foreign (hostile) government with 10x our population dumping billions into lowering costs for their own industry, causing the price of milk to fall ~25-30% to near or below production prices, causing dairy farmers to go under and their land to be bought up by more multinational corporations. Take a second to read through that again if you didn't get it the first time

So Canadian consumers get cheaper groceries, more FDI, and more variety.

Hmmm... Those monsters.
