A paragraph or 2 is far to short to convay real feelings on this issue..... Canada is a great neighbor.
They built up a lot of livestock, with little proccessing infrastructure.
Really hurts them more than most any other country on an issue such as this.
As with any countries, there are trade issues - wheat, hogs, cattle, etc. and these non-BSE issues will enter into any problem such as this....
I hope the USA & Canada ca work this BSE issue out, and continue the good trade & boarder friendship they, for the most part, have had.
If Canada must build their own processing plants, the USA will actually lose something in the long term. To Canada's advantage.
I feel bad for Canadian & USA farmers in these wheat, hog, & beef issues - people on both sides of the boarder do get hurt.
Considering the last several BSE findings in Canada & the world attitude about BSE, I do not believe now is the time to open the boarder to Canadian beef. I do hope solutions that work for both countries can be found. I do not believe we should close the boarder & be done with it. We (both sides) need to continue to work on it. --->Paul
