We can find Canadian beef in our stores quite easily. And it can be done without passing laws that break trade agreements. It's labeled on a voluntary basis, and consumers have the choice. The hottest new trend in food marketing in this country is local food, and the stores are embracing promoting Canadian beef as part of their marketing strategy.
We have the Beef Information Centre, which promotes Canadian beef on line, as well as by traditional methods. http://www.beefinfo.org/
We have the Canadian Beef Advantage program that promotes the values of Canadian beef, both here and in other countries. Yes, that means in the U.S. too. :wink:
And yes, there is COOL. It's killing us up here. :shock: :shock: :shock:
So, you guys lobbied for years to bring it in, and got it. So it had the desired effect of killing off the competition. At least the live cattle competition, not BEEF competition. The BEEF is still coming in. And then it didn't do a thing for your prices. It did not bring the American label to the stores. Wonder why? Maybe because people are more concerned with being able to just afford groceries than they are about where the animal that became their BEEF was born?
Maybe because it was one big royal waste of time?
So therefore it doesn't exist. :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: Good Grief........ Now I've heard it all.
