Respone..Understanding the past can provide valuable lessons to guide one's future. Protectionism has failed throughout history. Should we not learn from that experience?

American domestic producers do not benefit from the American import prohibition. American calf prices are at a record high. This has reduced profits for feeders in America. If feeders lose economic power, American calf producers will lose their markets. Numerous BBQ restaurants in America have closed and that has reduced potential demand for beef in America. "Keeping the border closed to Canadian beef is not in the interest of American beef interests," the Japanese officials concluded.

Let's change Japanese with American and see if it might also fit the situation! I wonder what the Japanese are trying to say.

Thanks for posting this Bull Burger!
Keep up the good work of dispelling the never ending R-CULT myths.
This is no mystery. To suggest that Japan would buy into R-CULT's bullsh*t would be to suggest that they are too stupid to see the hypocrisy in the U.S. stating that our UTM cattle are safe but Canadian UTM cattle are not.
The truth about R-CULT's short sightedness on this issue is finally starting to surface.
Unfortunately, the R-CULTers are too ignorant to understand the value of our export markets.

What's that old saying?
oh yeh, "What goes around, comes around"
LOL!
Welcome to our world America, of particular note is the Japanese view that "Japan views the U.S. and Canada as an integrated market"
Come on R-CALF, grab a sweater and jump in the game!

Do you really think that they weren't thinking about it, Sandhusker? They could not even if they wanted to because they needed a technical reason to do so or they would have incurred retaliatory measures from the US.
Your BSE cow is what tripped the trigger.

Sandhusker, short answer, "I don't care".
We're rowing the same boat now, Y'all.
Muchos gracias to R-cult for driving the Japanese to making Y'all realize what we've been saying from the start, this is a North American problem with what is truly a North American herd, eh!
