Minister Ritz COOL Dispute Announcement

[kato]

We don't have to influence them all. Just the ones who are losing money over this.

And there will be Americans losing money over it, whether it's from a lack of Canadian cattle or beef, or a loss of Canadian customers. Those are the ones to reach.

Hey Mr Grassfarmer and others! The idea of forcing the US on anything is unrealistic. Point well taken. It is noteable though that there's a lot of dissension within the industry. By Canada imposing trade barriers, the folks that have opposed Cool will have much more ammunition to blast with. It'll stir the battle to a much higher furer. All we need to do then is to throw in the odd jug of gasoline and watch the two sides work it out. Ideally the Canadian federal government should pull out the monies earned by the tarriffs and direct it towards the Canadian beef industry. Possibly to ramp up dollars for forage and beef research?!
