"But should any nation, contrary to our wishes, suppose it may better find its advantage by continuing its system of prohibitions, duties and regulations, it behooves us to protect our citizens, their commerce and navigation, by counter prohibitions, duties and regulations, also. Free commerce and navigation are not to be given in exchange for restrictions and vexations; nor are they likely to produce a relaxation of them. " Thomas Jefferson
Canadians don't (or don't want to) remember that they were the ones that first set a NAFTA precedent on using health restrictions as a trade barrier to protect their cattlemen when they came out with their "ALL US CATTLE ARE DISEASED"... And then continued the barrier for over 10 years, even tho it was proven to be a facade...
But now when the teat got in the wringer and the US cattlemen countered-want to say it is and always has been just one big North American Herd-- and one big happy family... LOL
