American funds have recently purchased a 35,000 acre ranch in south east Alberta. The rumor is that the backers are looking to aquire enough land for 25000 mother cow operation and develope a "natural beef " brand.
Kathy said:There is no shortage of Canadian ranchers wanting out of the business. However, I strongly object to non-Canadians being allowed to own Canadian soil.
If they want to use our natural grasslands for raising cattle, they should get their derriers to a Canadian embassy and become a Canadian citizen. Move here, live here, and spend your hard earned cash in your local community.
Probably wishful thinking? Our governments are selling the land and resources out from under us Canadians. When are we going to wake up? This land is our land, not your land. (Your - referring to any foreigner that wants to own the property but not live on it).
Not to say the purchase you mentioned, won't see the foreign backers ($$) moving here - must keep an open mind; but, it is highly unlikely, don't you think?

Kathy said:and what do the Canadian Cattlemen get that want to build their own "Canadian packing plants"?
