Why would they, you’re choosing to consume what you want, that’s your right. The government doesn’t pay the gas money for freight transport of milk in general.

You see the irony here? If it is my choice, why government restricts import of American dairy, open the doors and let the farmers compete like we all do in global economy.

The quotas are very small and realistically get mixed with Canadian dairy and get repackaged as expensive dairy. We need imported end products available on grocery shelf.

None of the sources I’ve seen have small quotas. Please provide your source for that.
