I'm worried

I wonder what would happen if say Japan found that small Canadian packer who would/could test and they agreed to take the meat? After all isn't that basically the deal Creekstone was trying for?
Do you think the USA would stand by and allow that to happen? Let's face it they have a whole lot of "pull" when it comes to world trade? Do you think they would try to strong arm Japan into not accepting that meat? I suspect testing wouldn't change a thing, because this never really was about science or food safety? It really was about using"science" to steal huge amounts of money from the Canadian cattle producer and destroy our industry?

It's not only the US that is causing us problems in the beef industry....rumor has it that a local food chain sold 18,000 lbs of hamburger from South America in a week at 99 cents/lb....no indication from the store it was foreign, & locals felt they were supporting Cdn farmers. I agree we should take the same isolationist approach that the USA is doing with all ag products, but my undedrstanding is that we would be violating a multitude of trade agreement clauses if we did. THANK-YOU VERY MUCH ... BRIAN MULRONEY for forcing through the free trade agreement. We in the AG community do not have short memories....
