The comments on the CBC site range from amusing to absurd... On one hand, I think this is one up for freedom of choice. On the other hand, milk is pastureized for a good reason... I milk cows. I drink raw milk. I drink pastureized milk... It's all about the same to me.
What this whole damn issue is about is the fact that DFO, adn for that matter, ever other milk board in the country is worried about... is an issue popping up where somebody gets sick from drinking raw milk. That's an economic loss for US as producers... The ironic part is that if the bugger could tone it down a bit and work in the shadows he'd probably get along fine without much bother... but if you set out to challenge the law, the law will come down on you. This ~will~ no doubt be appealed and probably be overturned on appeal.
I found some of the comments on the CBC page quite interesting tho... some people seem to think that because bacteria is tested several times daily, dairies and farms and equipment are cleaner today or TB has been eradicated, etc that there's no problem.
Fact is.... bacteria is tested twice ~monthly~, somatic cell... weekly, and antiboitics are tested daily on every tanker, then on every farm if there's a problem. The notion that milking equipment is cleaner today is probably wishfull thinking as well. There's a high reliance on detergents and acids to keep systems clean today where elbow grease used to do a lot of that work... and a small change in water temperature, hardness or chemical amounts can lead to a problem. Quickly... A problem that may not be noticed for some time until the next test comes in... So... pastureization really isn't such a bad thing. If nothing else it's just another layer of insurance.
