They're not serious anyway. Won't be buying Cdn beef anytime soon!

Just as well - saves ranchers and farmers a whole lot of dough

No, I don't.

Corporations care more about profits than government does.

They're the same league silly. When will you recognize corporate rule?


Dosen't Canadian beef have enough glycophosphate for the Canadian taste?

Loyalty is a 2-way street. My brothers' produce are not good enough for you, then my money is not good enough for you pal.

Earls episode potentially positive for Canadian beef: Alberta Beef Producers

Controversy surrounding Earls Restaurants’ decision to source Certified Humane beef from the United States could prove positive for the Canadian beef industry according to Alberta Beef Producers chairman Bob Lowe.

During a May 25 Rocky View 2020 meeting, he said the cattle industry in Canada takes pride in its codes of practice to ensure beef is raised in a responsible and humane way, but added the country doesn’t “brag about” or promote those standards with a stamp.

With more eyes and interest on the beef industry, he said now is a time to have discussions with producers, retailers and government about the ways to work together and avoid similar situations in the future.

“The Earls thing is going to turn out to be one of the best things that ever happened to the industry,” he said. “It’s a walk-up call and it’s going to prove to be huge for both Earls and the cattle industry.”

Unbeknownst to many, Canadian cattle farmers sues only cow-friendly, eco-cattle prods to assist the livestock.

True story

It could come in a host of versions ... Beef, alligator, Rattlesnake, Long pig ...

I have been reading about this for a few years, most recently, how edible products can be generated through 3-D printing.

... Guess that I am just not ready to adopt this new development at this point

If you're already uncomfortable for carbon pricing, just wait until you see how Beef changes in the next 10 years.

PS - I buy a side of beef from ranch an hour from Calgary every year.... There is absolutely no lack of beef for me

There will be a lack of natural beef but not because you don't have any cattle.
