The "decline of cheese craft" comment seems to pertain mostly to English Canada, if it is taken to mean that most cheese is mozzarella, cheddar or processed versions thereof. I added a bit to suggest that Québec still has a significant and diverse cheesemaking industry. The "more than half" statement is from counting the manufacturers in the directory used for that reference.

After that, I found the "Sélection Caseus", which is a red link even in French Wikipedia. The proper name of the contest includes the accent, even though the word means the same thing in English and French, so I kept that in the red link. It awards prizes in lots of different categories (and does occasionally give prizes to cheddars). I thought "diverse categories" would confirm that the contest is for, well, French-type cheeses and not American-type cheeses. The contest doesn't appear to be much known outside Quebec, which is surprising given its name. When Canadian things have names in Latin, it usually means they're intended to be bilingual, and "caseus" is a Latin word that was borrowed by English (cheese) but not French. Oh, and I put the name of the sponsoring government agency in French. That's fairly common practice, and the website is only in French. Roches (talk) 13:57, 19 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
