THE MILK BLOCKADE

-

A stroll through the tariff schedule quickly reveals the utter legal quagmire needed to protect the dairy and egg cartel from competitio­n. Thousands of food products contain milk and eggs, and every single one of them needs to be tracked, monitored and controlled by the Canadian Border Services Agency. Ice cream, cake mixes, pizza, quiche, certain dietary supplement­s and even some types of animal feeds cannot reasonably get into Canada unless they’re within a strict, government­mandated quota — or tariffs as high as 300 per cent.
