The myth continues because people compare cdn prices to lost leader prices they have seen across the line

So if I’m reading this correctly the dairy industry would make more money under a deregulated system, but want it so customers don’t have to deal with the ups and downs if the market. Sure and santa just paid my taxes.

Some of the parts of the dairy industry would make more money. I believe that the farmer would be left out of that circle. See the dairy crisis in the USA or also the bread fixing scheme in this country…
