RE: Raw Milk Is Illegal in Canada
Can you drive to the next state where it's legal and buy it there? Or does the law have that covered?

I don't think they could stop you doing that since we don't have state taxes on it like alcohol and tobacco. Unfortunately all my surrounding states have prohibited it. (West Virginia, Tennessee and North Carolina. I've looked into it, it's a political money thing. The laws were created to protect the large corporate distributors of milk. It wasn't really for anyone's safety although they like to pretend that's the reason.
That's too bad. :( We are always talking about getting a cow or goats but it's such a complex matter. The cost of feed, shelter and so forth.
We also have a "Dairy Cartel" in Canada. I've always suspected that this whole thing is all about profits. Back in the 60's farmers were forced to sell their milk to the "dairy board" ... and it's been tightly controlled ever since.
