[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 423634, member: 97"] frenchie-- Have you been watching Lou Dobbs-- or any of the other US media? Have you been reading the US consumer news? The whole US wants a COOL law-- no matter what country the product was in or came from....In fact they want more stricter ones than even the one now being considered...... There is a nationwide backlash going on right now against all these imports- and the dangers of many of them....Right now the US consumer thinks of the US products as being the safest in the world- followed by Canadian...Thats what the polls indicate..... But If Canada goes to battle against this M-COOL now it will do more harm to the Canadian cattle industry than any good it could reallize....It will do the job that you accuse R-CALF of doing--publicize the Mad Cow problem in Canada, while covering all the problems of other imports of the world-- and show not only the public, but Congress the issue of losing sovereignty with these FTA's.... Do you think dragging Canada's BSE issue thru all the WTO, NAFTA, GATT, Federal Court, & Congressional hearings and the worldwide press coverage that would bring, just to change the US M-COOL is worth it? Dobbs has taken this on as a personal issue-- and he would have no problem smearing Canada all over the world.... The only reason I even mention a Canadian M-COOL is that I think this is one more way that Canadians can take back a little bit of control from the Multinational Coporations that have taken over your industry....The money spent fighting M-COOL in the US would be much better spent promoting your product- and advertising "Product of Canada" or "Product of USA and Canada" labeled Beef.... Because next year that is what it will be... And with the kill plants in Canada closing it looks like there is opportunity galore to be shipping out "Product of Canada" beef.... But it appears to me that Canadians are afraid that unless they can continue to fraudulently pass off their beef/cattle as US product it won't sell.... They would prefer to go back to the old status quo- riding on the shirttails of the US cattleman- and sucking the US hind teat- rather than move forward in developing their own industry.... :( :( :( [/QUOTE]
