[QUOTE="Alberta farmer, post: 622052, member: 8978"] I suspect President Obama will let sleeping dogs lie? I think he might be fairly busy trying to get the economy back on track and I really doubt a bunch of Canadian cows are going to keep him up at night? MCOOL is a big trade problem. I believe it is not defensible under the NAFTA rules. I guess it is okay with the recent changes as Canada has put on hold the WTO challenge? If MCOOL is changed back to the original rule then Canada needs to challenge it again. If US cattlemen are not happy with the NAFTA rules they should work to get the treaty tore up? Will that happen? Well it might, but that is a two way street, don't forget. You can bet if we change the rules for cattle or trees or whatever...we probably will want something in return? The USA has treated Canada fairly badly in some trade dealings. I'm not sure why. They seem to have no problem treating China like their best buddy? Maybe it's like"If you can't screw your friends and neighbors who can you screw!" I think it is time for Canada to stop relying on the USA for our best trading partner. Time to build that pipeline over to Prince Rupert so we can export our oil to Asia. NAFTA doesn't seem to be working. [/QUOTE]
