Phraseology problem...

What we really need is COOL for beef. Now that's something we must all be able to agree on!

Unless we've got treaty status, we all came from other countries because we didn't like the system there if you look back far enough. The first ones in my family tree did it almost 200 years ago when they left Scotland. The most recent ones did it 100 years ago, when they also left Scotland.

Big agribusiness, and big business in general's worst fear is that the peasants will get together and agree to work together. Strength in numbers. That's the ticket. And we can't get there if we keep using up precious energy fighting each other.

Sorry, I must have missed the line on the immigration form where it said you had to take a vow of silence before applying.
Anti-foreigner bigotry aside this issue was not about me. It was about one Canadian producer, Dave Solverson backed apparently by the CCA, trying to score points against another Canadian producer Richard Greibel and his chosen method of beef production. So don't preach to me about presenting a united front if only it wasn't for the foreigners.

Like kato said, we all came from somewhere else. Some of us sooner then others. No offense intended to anyone in particular. Differences in opinion are rampant in this industry. A few years back when Marketing Council held public meetings around Alberta, they mentioned they would like to get ALL GROUPS around the table. Maybe they were right. If an idea can't convince the majority of peers, then maybe it's not a good idea. A good idea is a good idea. Now, if all producer groups were at one table.......wouldn't that be interesting.

But the purpose of this thread is Dave Solverson's interview on PrimeTime and I have to agree that there was a lapse in judgement in arguing about production methods. Primetime touches on issues not addressed on regular news, controversial and otherwise. It does tend to generate discussion.
