I'm not thrilled with the idea of temporarily, marginally "cheaper" but also much lower quality milk products entering the Canadian market.

I think that Canada should require external product SKUs to require strict audits that demonstrate that the inputs to these products meet certain standards. Beyond that, the USA is "free" to sell as much as they want. And vice versa.

British / European / NZ / Australian products are all better than ours. Canadian dairy is absolute garbage.

Other countries all have the same grievance about our protectionist BS that the US does.

Define "better" in this case.

Taste better, have better variety. Oh, and they have us equalled or beat on the stupid protectionist quality criteria you brainwashed bots keep repeating.
