[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 40175, member: 97"] frenchie- I read it now-- First off I'll agree DeBruycker shouldn't be acting as a spokeperson for R-CALF- he's not an officer and with the stink he's raised by being a cattle owner he's not the person to be doing the talking- His comments about what has been happening with the border situation is pretty much true- His opinions about Americans investing money into Canadian cattle may well be right--I can't think of too many people that would want to buy a bunch of Canadian feeders or take any calves into Canada to feed and take the chance of another Canadian BSE case and border closure. Not until the WTO changes the rules on BSE. As far as what this suit will do- couldn't tell you- I think it could work either way and may reopen the dumping allegations of the previous cases- and if takes the normal route of lawsuits and trade violation actions it could be 6 or 7 years going thru the system.. My understanding of the R-CALF legal fund was to make sure USDA follows all the proper WTO rules and US policy for reopening it -- and to make sure they have restrictions in the opening to safeguard the American herd-- mainly with live cattle. You know as well as I that they need to do an orderly (over a period of time) step by step opening of the border---to do otherways ---to just drop all restrictions could be a disaster to both countries cattle industries. If ours goes broke, so does yours. [/QUOTE]
