The milk is probably fine, but for a country that produces a truly ridiculous amount of dairy products our cheese game is wretched.

My point was Canadian milk and cheese are tasty while the US products are disgusting. I'm not looking supermarkets being flooded with cheaper lower quality products because lower prices.

US dairy is highly subsidized, poorly regulated, and still manages to lose money for all dairy farmers who aren't giant agro-conglomerates to the point that there's an epidemic of dairy farmer suicide going on, but hey I get to buy a gallon of garbage milk for 99 cents

Canadian dairy is highly subsidized, decently regulated, and provides a good living for small Canadian dairy farmers, but oh no, I have to spend $4 CDN to buy a gallon of decent milk

A gallon is close to 4 liters. I'm not sure I'd trust a 25-cent liter of milk to not kill me.

Most of large-diary in Canada is importing whey powder from the States because it's not considered diary under tariffs and using it to make your cheese. Go artisanal or die.

you got it backwards. read this article because its hilarious

https://www.theguardian.com/world/commentisfree/2018/jun/09/milk-canada-us-trade-war

quote:

Meanwhile, just across the St Lawrence river in what free-trading Americans like to call Soviet Canuckistan, the dairy industry is thriving like never before – and like none other in the developed world. Family farms milking an average of 80 cows each have prospered under a heavily regulated system that supports prices at sustainable levels by restricting domestic overproduction and keeping imports at bay. In 2016, Canadian farmers received an average price of C$0.79 a litre for milk, compared with C$0.49 on average for US farmers.

Canadian milk is protected and thriving.

sounds like a waste of money just as much as us farmers dump out all their overproduced milk, its insanely american to waste money on anything

cont. from article:

quote:

As a recent visitor to Wisconsin, “America’s Dairyland”, where low prices are forcing the closure of hundreds of dairy farms a year, Muirhead said he encountered no resentment against Canada among local farmers. “The president of the Wisconsin Farmers Union told me that what they really wanted was a supply-managed system like ours,” he said..

why?

quote:

Supply management enjoys strong government support in no small part because the policy obviates the need to subsidize farmers directly in the manner of the US and the EU – the two greatest culprits behind the current world dairy glut.

“The system works so incredibly well,” said Bruce Muirhead, associate vice-president and professor of history at the University of Waterloo. “And the big thing about supply management is that it doesn’t cost the government a cent. Consumers pay the full cost of production.”
