GW and the FDA says Canadian drugs are untested and unsafe- even if we buy them in the same drugstore you do.... Canadians are not to be trusted with their drugs.....

OT, here is a perfect example of a a product that some claim to be unsafe, with COOL and the US citizens are still buying it. Explain again how COOL will work to benefit the US rancher?

| MR, he is an R-calfer. Just curious, did you have a bad day today? You seem a little wound up. Calm down, don't let those R-calf buggers get to you so much. I'd miss reading your posts if something should happen to you like Jared. He kind of disappeared, don't want you to. |
Well the way MR post he should have went with Jared they were both the same at that time and it was the spurs from MR that got Jared going.MR is not one bit better than Jared..........................................

Are you aware how much cheaper Canadian drugs are? The majority are at least 1/3 cheaper- many are 1/2 to 2/3 cheaper.... If Canadians can sell their beef for 1/2 price, I agree COOL won't make a difference....
A good sign for Canadians is that US consumers have more confidence in and prefer Canadian drugs over those made in Mexico, Honduras, Caribbean Islands or Asia....All these are available on the internet...
Personally I think GW should be working harder on those internet backroom labs and the illegal drugs coming across the Mexican border rather than the little old lady that gets her mail order of blood presssure and rheumatis prescription from Canada--- but it looks like the big money of the pharmaceutical lobbies talk loudest....

Hat: "..since we are now post BSE, have no export markets opened, and are in a massive trade defecit how would taking Canadian beef help the US cattlemen?"
The number one goal should be to normalize trade and gain back the trade surplus position we enjoyed in recent years so we can add value to the parts of the carcass that we cannot adequately market domestically.
R-CULTers pretend that our current markets are a result of no Canadian live cattle imports. Funny, none of them can explain why cattle prices continued to rally after Canadian boxed beef was allowed back in.
Cattle prices would be higher than they are now with normalized trade. Currently we are importing 50% of normal Canadian imports with no export markets. R-CULT is focused on imports, NCBA is focused on exports.
Our competition is not Canada, our competition is poultry and pork. If Beef prices get too high, consumers switch to poultry and pork making Canadian imports a moot point. R-CULT doesn't understand that.
We do not have a leg to stand on by telling our export markets that our beef is safe when we say that Canadian cattle are unsafe.
Why?
1. We have Canadian cattle within our system today.
2. We are currently importing boxed beef from Canada from cattle under thirty months of age.
3. SRM removal is occuring in both Canada and the U.S. and assures that beef is safe.
4. BSE prions are not detectable in animals under 20 months of age and very few under 30 months of age.
5. Canada and the U.S. feed bans are implemented
6. Canada and the U.S. have increased BSE surveilance.
7. Canada has a traceback system, we don't.
We cannot expect Japan to trust that our beef is safe when R-CULT is saying that Canadian live cattle are unsafe when we have Canadian cattle in our mix and we are imorting Canadian cattle in the form of boxed beef.
Where's the trade leverage in that hypocrisy?
The more you study R-CULT, the more you will realize how conflicting their arguments are.
South Korea said they would not take our beef if we were unwilling to take Canadian live cattle.
Our export markets are not buying into the contradicting R-CULT bullsh*t.
