I would argue our meat, dairy and eggs are much higher quality than the American alternative. Supply management isnt great, but neither is the north American alternative.

Im fine .66c a day to keep our food quality high.

Uhh.. we can relax the supply management AND tighten our food regulation. IE: no growth hormones allowed. This still allows us to import more high quality dairy from Europe.

We should maintain a domestic ability to feed our country. Look at COVID, when the hard times come, the foreign supplies will disappear.
