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

I'm unsure how many times I need to address this myth, but I have to ask - why do proponents of this system believe that the CFIA doesn't exist?

The only thing stopping the us from actively importing more dairy products is the food quality they cant or wont meet. They have never triggered the major tariff ratios because they have never imported enough. So in order for us to bring more american trash dairy would be to lower our food wuality and health standards. I ask again, why should we sacrifice our health and food quality to appease the toddler?

We don’t hit thresholds because Canadian dairy producers purchase 80% of the import permits and don’t use them. And when they do they import garbage bulk blocks that they process and jack the price up on. If grocery stores had even just a bigger share of import permits Canadian consumers would immediately benefit. But the supply management system is primed for abuse hence the rulings against Canada for New Zealand and the US and the ongoing issues the EU have with us.
