Beef 11 has an excellent point, We are finally building a few plants in MB again. BTW we had our own plants until OUR OWN leaders screwed us with the Free Trade Agreement. I can understand protecting the "Homeboys" as you call them. Like when they shot and buried their BSE infected animals, and prevented further testing on three bulls in Texas. That farmer in Alberta shot have shot that POS cow instead of trying to get 250 bucks at the auction barn. Maybe we could learn something from our southern neighbors.
