They can keep their hormone and antibiotic infected milk and shitty whisky.
As for netflix, eat my ass. We promote our own art up here. I want more Canadian artists on my playlists. What do they expect us to do? Watch those stupid American superhero movies? Fuck that shit.
Serious question, what hormones are in the milk? I don’t think I have ever seen a jug of milk without a label saying that it was free of growth hormones. Even Walmart milk has the rBST-free label.
Edit: ok I learned that while it is illegal to produce milk using rBST in Canada, it is not illegal to import milk into Canada that was produced with rBST. Check your labels folks.
It’s possible. I’m an avid milk drinker in the US and can’t recall ever having seen milk without the rBST free label. You might have to buy like dollar store milk or something to find it haha. Sounds like maybe 10-20% of US milk might have rBST.
Interestingly it is not illegal to import milk produced with rBST into Canada and Google says there are no specific labeling requirements for imported milk. But that’s been a thing since 2015 apparently.
So good news everyone, you may have already been drinking hormone and antibiotic infected milk already for the last 10 years in Canada if you haven’t checked the label. TIL.
When we drank milk we stuck to Canadian brands, so should be good. We went from vegetarian to vegan about 3-4 years ago so now I will have to start worrying about lead content in oats, soy, cashew or almonds

Canadian Walmart or US?
Both. Walmart in the US hasn’t used rBST since 2008 - https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/wal-mart-milk/. rBST is banned in Canada so that one’s free.
Looks like rBST was deemed safe by FDA, so maybe some retailers still stock it?
