Americans tell Canadians to stay away from their Costcos!

I agree that milk without the DHT hormone is better.

But I do not see any connection between having DHT free milk and milk marketing boards.

There is absolutely NO reason why we cannot continue to have the same quality of milk AND have a competitve market situation.

The Wheat Board monopoly was just dissolved. Is there any reason why we still need marketing boards......other than the perhaps the political considerations in vote rich Ontario and Quebec dairy farming areas???

It's really too bad about Bellingham. I was just there last week and the town is fantastic, quirky, unique and very lively. I can understand the frustration though. With Vancouver as the only major Metro nearby, Canadians have effectively turned Bellingham into a 'suburban' type of location, not what people signed up for when they moved there.

Bellingham also has the distinction of initiating the movement to ban tax exemptions for BC residents. I would be peeved if I lived in a municipality where half the sales taxes were not be recovered due to cross-border shoppers.

I would not be too upset if I were a Bellingham resident. They need to remember we are spending our money down there to help the town economy, like Nemo2 said earlier. We spend money at gas stations, restaurants, convenience store etc and I believe the Bellingham President of Chamber Commerce (or something along that line) has sensibly stepped up and asked everyone to be appreciative of what we have brought to their town.

You won't likely see (I will never say never) that kind of attitude displayed by some rogue Bellingham residents here out on the East Coast
