I couldn't get a rise out of old Ryder Lee on Linked In after he posted some Gerry Ritz propaganda promoting our Gerry as a white night out to save our Canadian Cattle industry. I won't bother posting the actual article as it may seem as if I want to spread that kinda shit as well. Bottom line is Gerry is blaming the USA for being a trade bully and he is out to fix the problem.
If you are interested, I am sure the CCA will share the article with you.
Therfore ------
Gotta love social media Ryder. Stories like this that make our ag minister sound like the white night out to save the cattle industry can actually be debated. Love it.
So - as far as trade with the USA or any of the countries that they "protect" from evil doers LOL. Canada will never get a sniff. Other than the beef that finds it's way south of the line and then on to happy Japanese and South Korean customers under our currently multinational controlled export industry. Funny how the American are bully's in one breath and allies of Gerry's and CCA as you have no where to go but to the Multinational / American companies that control our industry here in Canada when you come home with another announcement pertaining to less trade restrictions.
How many million have been spent since BSE now Ryder. Must be crowding 300 million by now. On trade missions and fighting COOL. All to try to allow Cargill ad now JBS to sell as much "Canadian Beef" as they feel like into export markets. As much as they feel like is the key Ryder. In fact, as much as they can make more money from than they can from their other plants all over the world. Which is not very much.
So what about the trip to China. A couple things that you could share with Gerry on the plane if you have time. Bill Gates said it quite well in a recent twitter tweet. " Think about this for a second. Between 1901 and 2000, the U.S. built an entire interstate highway system, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Hoover Dam and just about all of its skysc****rs -- to name just a few concrete-intensive things. China did all that, and almost half again, in just three years."
There are over 1.4 billion people in China and the middle class has likely surpassed the entire population of North America. They have lots of money and no where to spend it and really, really like Canadian ranchers with maple leaf flags on their cowboy hats. While Gerry and his gang of CCA troopers spend millions of public dollars on trade missions, cowboys from western Canada are spending their own bucks building the relationships needed to actually do business with China. Relationships with Chinese people who don't really like to support American multinational companies and certainly don't like the implants and chemicals pumped into our North American cattle, nor the GMO feed fed to them.
Ask them about these things when you are there Ryder, and ask them how they would like to buy our Canadian beef. Ask them if an authentic Canadian Company with Authentic, clean Canadian beef would be preferable to them. Ask them if they would like the beef cut in a different way, or if they would pay a bit of a premium if we supplied them with everything that they want instead of what our current multinational packers offer everyone at their loading dock.
We are asking, and are spending our own dollars - so far - building the relationships that will put us into the largest economy in the world.
American are not bully's, and we don't have to play the victim role anymore. The three hundred million dollars that Ritz and the CCA have spent on trade missions and legal battles would have bought our entire packing industry by now.
No looking back ---- Forge on bravely Ryder. And please keep posting the propaganda here on Linked In for our much needed entertainment. Randy
