It is ironic that we decry the loss of manufacturing jobs to lower cost, often times overseas, jurisdictions yet may posting comments here are cheering the same happening to the dairy sector.  I also doubt that a lower supply cost will translate into equally lower prices in the grocery stores. Retailers and processors will ensure they keep a fat slice of the spread, meanwhile dairy farms will be struggling to stay solvent.  We have learned nothing from the gutting of Canadian manufacturing.

There is also the question of food sovereignty. It is foolish to rely on other nations to meet Canadian food requirements for basic staples that can be produced at home.  Once the current dairy producers have exited the industry they are not coming back.  You better hope there is always and forever a low cost foreign supplier of dairy products after that happens.  Hope is a poor plan when speaking in terms of national, or personal, food supply.
