Tam-- how much beef is Canada shipping to Japan? You seem to be worrying about all the answers for the US and NCBA and R-CALF and the US feedlots- but you still aren't shipping any steaks to Japan...Maybe you should worry about that...Or are you admitting Canada has to ride on the shirtails of the US producer? Many Japanese consumers probably don't know they ever ate Canadian beef- most came thru the states and was marked with the USDA stamp.....
You may need to worry about your packer buddies at Lakeside- I see where a couple of the Tyson big shots are being investigated for running a car off the road- injuring a union official....Nice to see such high morale and strong work ethics in a food factory :wink:
And you won't find any official releases about the Canadian problem with Japan exports--USDA has backed themselves into such a hole, they are officially keeping everything quiet.....They are finding that their old "if we open our border, so will everyone else" theory is full of bull......
Again Oldtimer Japan has said they will open to both the US and Canada and as long as you think you can bully your way into a country we are being held hostage. And again with the shirttails even Japan knows to question where the US ia going to get the beef as you don't have enough to supply the domestic market and them too.
Who said anything about offical releases Oldtimer according to my research I came up with 249 hits for Canadian beef problems of Japanese/US beef trade negotiations . (0.10 seconds) as you can see that is the whole World Wide Web Oldtimer and only 249 hits and nothing I read was newer than 2003. But as you can see by my edit to my post before I found 1,510,000 for Age verification is problem with Japan deal. 0.09 seconds. Notice the time it took to find them, 1.5 million in .09 seconds and 249 in .10 seconds. Looks like far more worry about the age than Canadian beef doesn't it?

How do you know these aren't US guys running Canadian guys over. you do have a history of running over top people that get in the US's way. :wink:
