If you are relying on Klien for your savior I agree a SMALL glimer is all you got.

horse at least he's making noise where in the @#$%^ are the rest of the western leaders

With all due respect I have to agree with Horse! Ralph Klein stated that the government can't do anything more for cash strapped farmers, financially! In stead they are going to concentrate on getting the border open? Then he went on to call the Americans greedy and stupid? Maybe he should go down to Washington or Toykyo and tell them we need to Shoot, Shovel, and Shutup again? Maybe that would get those borders open?
Ralph Klein is a buffoon. His ranting plays well with the old boys down on the farm but it is just that...ranting!

This partial lifting of the ban...what are the terms? If it involves removing SRM's etc...don't we already do that?

One would hope that what's good for the US is good for us.

Besides that would set a heck of a precedent for the US market opening to us, wouldn't it? Japan says theirs is OK, but ours isn't? Like everything else that's happened since last May it makes no sense.
