Its a cartel. But, honestly, the quality of Canadian diary is one of the few things Canada has going for it. I remember first tasting sour cream in the US - yuck. I thought Id accidentally bought the light versions.

(In cheese the US regains the advantage though - Quebec cheese is decent , but doesn't hold a candle to European cheeses that are available in US grocery stores for much lower prices)

Also like… what sort of dairy industry would we have otherwise?

The US is right next door to… everywhere here. Anything we can do, they can _probably_ do cheaper. Do we want access to basic staples to be at the whim of US policy and production?

I know we’re basically joined at the hip anyway (our economy is basically as a cheaper source of manufacturing and services for the US… and resource extraction for the US), but if we want to keep up the idea of being a separate nation it’s probably good we can at least provide basic staples for our own populace.
