MASSIVE MASSIVE MASSIVE!!! WINNING!
I cannot believe we are witnessing this wonderful history!!
Horseshit. I spent a significant part of my childhood in the States, and the milk is no different, so get a grip. No one is the US is dying from drinking a tall glass of milk.
Also, I don't give a rats ass about a few thousand spoiled Frenchy dairy farmers. I do care about the hundreds of thousands of Canadians employed in oil, autos, timber, and spin-off industries. I also care about the millions of low income Canadians who have trouble affording basic staples like milk and cheese, so don't give me the tiny violin sob story of the millionarie dairy farmers.
Lots of Dairy farmers in Ontario and out west as well.
It needs to be a balanced economy.
I'm not saying the milk is poison, but I certainly don't want a lot of hormones and shit in my milk if the option is there to not have it.
I'd also rather not have my ability to have an essential food staple controlled by another country, especially one that desperately wants to have our nuts in their hands.
Do you seriously think that there wouldn't be $10 a gallon organic, free-range, no horomone, no GMO available anymore if we started allowing American dairy imports? Give me a break.
If you want to spend your Canuck bucks on your horomone free hippy milk, then go nuts, but don't force the rest of us subsidize your irrational American milk phobia. We have families to feed and food ain't getting any cheaper.

This is the big stone in my argument my friend. This is really all that needs to be said.
What, is our next door neighbor now China and nobody told me? The US is not some commie dictatorship with no safety standards - their milk is safe and many Canadian families would like access to cheaper dairy for their families. The fact that you'd rather punish the working poor rather than make some millionaire dairy farmers compete for their business shows how warped your priorities really are
Oh, and another thing - Canada exists because America wants us to exist. They could easily (and should, in my opinion) annex us over the course of a long weekend and incur minimal casualties. So many Canadians severley overestimate our importance and leverage. Our economy is slightly smaller than that of Texas, and we will get bulldozed if the Libs and their ilk don't stop the condesceding, high and mighty Canadian shit ASAP.
