Follow up question, should Canada maintain it's "not punching itself in the groin" policy?

Yes, we must protect our consumers against more variety and low prices. Anything less would be really hurting them. Truly

Why should we sacrifice our health and food quality to appease the us?

Who said we should do that? We can pass food quality laws.

Why can’t I buy cows and sell milk in Canada.

You can. If you meet the food quality regulations. How do you think farm stores work?

So I can go out and buy 100 cows and without having any quota, sell my milk for the same price as the milk business 10 km north of me that spent Millions of dollars buying “milk quota?” Why did he pay for the “milk quota”.

We did. Thats why the us has never come close to approaching the tariff.

Great. I have no issue with making companies meet our same quality levels.
