[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 340618, member: 97"] One part of the NAFTA free(?) trade agreement allows the countries involved to quarantine or ban products that they believe are a health or animal health danger or endangers the economy of the industry because of a disease(s)... Canada set the precedent right after the passage of NAFTA- when they said that "ALL US cattle are diseased" and would not allow any US cattle to go into Canada without quarantines, testing and extra cost and effort...Altho Canada had had the diseases in Canada they said all US cattle were "higher risk" for Anaplasmosis and Blue Tongue... These rules effectively blocking many US cattle from free trade have been in effect for 12+ years... Then Canada gets BSE-- and has found/and is still finding positives at a much higher rate that the US- including many POST feedban and younger cattle-- which puts Canada at a higher risk for BSE..... Now the US cattlemen come back and want to protect the US consumer-US cattle herd, and US cattle industry's economy by quarantining out and putting restrictions on what even USDA admits is "higher risk" BSE cattle-- and Canadians scream, whine, and blame it all on Americans or R-CALF or anyone besides themselves.... Sounds like a double standard that Canada wants to promote.... [/QUOTE]
