Milk vs. dairy products. I'm sure there's plenty of cheese/dairy based products. But liquid milk?
reply
Canada imports roughly 65 million litres of fluid milk from the USA each year.

Canada produces ~9-10 billion litres of milk a year. 65 million is less than a percent. That also doesn't mean 65 million of litres of liquid milk ends up on store shelves, that could be going into other products. It's extremely hard to find non-Canadian liquid milk on Canadian store shelves.

I mean, what were you expecting? Like before, they only have access to 5% of the market tarrif-free, and, in practice, cannot even use all of that due to the practicalities of 5% not being all that operationally useful to the Canadian processors. The US hasn't been bemoaning these tariffs for longer than I've been alive (and I'm quite old by HN standards) because the market is flush with their goods...

Hard is a long way from never. Yes, the volume is negligible, but known to be non-zero. Although we'd really have to understand the makeup of the milk to know how common you consuming it is. If every jug has a tiny drop of US milk in it then the chances of you encountering US milk on store shelves is actually quite high. It is highly unlikely that any jug will be 100% US milk. It is not like anyone is going to take the time to painstakingly separate it into a separate tank before bottling. Milk is milk.
