About two months ago mad cow was discovered in northern Alberta (West). It was discovered in one cow that was seen to be sick and went for testing. The US and Japan and many other countries banned CDN beef that day, rightfully so. Since that day it has been proven that there are no other cows with the disease and that it never (cow) made it anywhere near market. World health organizations have declared it safe and Canada has now added even more checks and measures to prevent the spread of mad cow. The was traced and could not be pin pointed to where it came from with areas of BC SK and the USA being suspects.
So we now sit with our beef not being allowed to be exported, still! The beef industry is losing 5-6 million per day mainly due to the USA and Japenese borders being closed.
My question is this:
What do we need to do to export our meat again?
Our meat is safe and Alberta beef is world renowed as some of the best in the world. I am eating it every night and so are millions of CDN's! Governors of Montana and Washington have said that the borders need to be re-opened but the Federal gov't is not listening.
People are now talking about administering a bit of the American and Japenese's own medicene. People want Canada to stop exporting important resourses and goods to these countries.
I am pissed! And i am begining to think that showing the US and Japan what it feels like is the answer. The US wants our oil we not till you start showing a bit of sense and reopening the borders. Japan wants our wood and water well not till the borders are reopened.
From Japan i expect this but not from our biggest trading partner and closest friend, the US!
