SH is lying, pure and simple. Everybody should make a mental note on his credibility.
"That doesn't circumvent the fact that their NW U.S. plants were losing money which more than offset the gains in Canada.

Thank you! I'll take that as your admission that you don't have a damn clue what Tyson and Cargill's economic motives are.
My common sense approach to my position is the fact that the Canadian cattle that used to be slaughtered in U.S. plants, particularly in the NW, were no longer available which led to cutting shifts and closing plants. Canadian plants benefitted at the expense of U.S. plants. That is why packers wanted the border opened. That's one of the few things that R-CULT is right about. The amicus brief is proof of their position.

I never applied the boxed beef / live cattle price relationship to Canada's situation DURING THE CLOSED BORDER when they had more cattle than slaughter capacity.
I was referring to U.S. cattle prices you idiot.
I explained that but you are either too desperate or too stupid to understand.

RK: "Still trying to back up his own little fairy tale about Cargill and Tyson double shifting to HELP the producers of Canada."
RK: "Told ya before, I don't need American consumers, all my beef is being et right here in Calgary Alberta at a fine price thank you very much."
RK: "None of your opinions have any more fact to back em than any of mine."
RK: "WHERE'S YER PROOF SH."

Is it an opinion or a fact that the packers filed an amicus brief supporting USDA in opening the Canadian border?
Is it an opinion or a fact that the packers filed a lawsuit against USDA to allow the importation of otm Canadian cattle?
Is it an opinion or a fact that U.S. plants that relied on Canadian cattle no longer had those cattle available to them after the border closed?
