's a shame we won't be able to import any of your beef..Mad Cow,you know

All the more for us, besides, why would Canada want to deprive itself of the best beef in the world? Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. Or tastebuds. What do you think you're eating now?

PEI beef thanks, grown raised butchered and processed right here at home. Veddy tasty

Good, I am sure, but you have not tasted beef until you have Alberta beef!! :wink:

I've Alberta beef, Blue. It tastes exactly the same as Saskatchewan beef and Manitoba beef. In fact, since you have the slughter facilities, much of what gets passed off as Alberta beef comes from any of the four western provinces.

Byfield isn't a serious person, Blue. Everything he writes is tainted with his extreme hatred for Canada and his intolerance of anybody even slightly different than him.

Anything he uses to support his views becomes infected by the Byfield disease.

While I would agree that Byfield is right wing, that is not a disease, at least not yet. What he hates is the equities in Canada, not Canada itself. As his articles have continually indicated, he wants a reconfederation of Canada explored fully prior to considering separation. If that does not work, then he agrees that separation may be the next logical step.

Again, the point of his article was that a U of A professor has also raised this issue. When serious people start having serious discussions, things are happening that should not be marginalized.

They play William Hung's "She bangs" all the time on our Comedy Radio here. I'll bet he sings Achy breaky on his CD.Perhaps the worst recorded "singer" of any time!

Singer...singer?...his voice gives me nightmares...ah, no just when I had repressed it all!!!

The beef I get, I can assure you, is Alberta beef.

Had it before thanks...I'm not that big of a fan of red meat anyway, but the fresh form home stuff you can get from a community called Kensington here is the best I had yet. You can't beat fresh slaughtered that day meat, no matter where you are

And dawg, the hatred of Trudeau is far from lingering. I suspect you are a liberal, or travel in liberal circles, but Trudeau and the NEP will never be forgetten. All you have to do is talk to anyone in the oil business or out in the patch.

What I meant by the lingering hatred is that 20 years after NEP there are a lot of people who simply refuse to move on, refuse to stay in the present day, they prefer to let the cancer of anger eat away at themselves. Back in the 80's the popular bumper sticker was,"Please give us another oil boom, and this time we won't piss it all away". So prices are high again and we have a conservative government that throws money at every little problem - once again pissing it all away. More than one person has commented that with this much money flowing in even poor money managers (governments) can't screw up. The boom won't last forever. When most of the world needs alternate 'fuels',and has developed the technology, the expense of extracting oil from the oilsands won't be worth it, again.

My brother works in the oilpatch, so, yes, I do know the continuing hatred towards Trudeau. It was evident in the last provincial election ... again. The PCs formed the government by a confortable margin. A few more Liberals were elected - more by people voting against Klien than voting for Liberals in all likelihood. The rednecks are so anti-NDP that the Greens even collected more votes than the NDP, and that was only because they knew nothing about the Greens.

Personally, I am more apolitical than anything, I simply don't believe in politics and politicians - they are in it for the power, the pigs trough and the golden pension.

Re: RE: Another Alberta Messa

I've [had] Alberta beef, Blue. It tastes exactly the same as Saskatchewan beef and Manitoba beef. In fact, since you have the slaughter facilities, much of what gets passed off as Alberta beef comes from any of the four western provinces.

Beef from a farmer/rancher who has not polluted their cattle with all the chemicals, and has raised their cattle on grass tastes very different from the beef now available at grocery stores. The store beef is loaded up with chemicals, and 'finished' at a feed lot, and doesn't taste like real beef. And I would prefer to eat a range raised cow from Manitoba, than a chemical cow from a feedlot in 'beloved' Alberta.

Saskatchewan produces great beef. I don't know why they don't make an effort to brand it more.

I think most of us go by the thought that "Those who refuse to learn from history are doomed to repeat it" or "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me". Well, we have learned from history, and won't be fooled again. There is a few things you ignore when you say that the government throws money at every little thing. Some of those things included paying off the debt, investing in the Trust Fund (not enough, I will grant you), and settling with both the teachers and the nurses for quite nice contracts. And I reiterate, the energy companies are already working on developing better efficiency for oil and gas consumption, as well as working on alternate fuel sources. Wh? Simply because it is in their best interests.

My brother works in the oilpatch, so, yes, I do know the continuing hatred towards Trudeau. It was evident in the last provincial election ... again.

The rednecks are so anti-NDP that the Greens even collected more votes than the NDP, and that was only because they knew nothing about the Greens.

There you go, calling all right wing voters rednecks. That simply won't work as an insult any more. And why on earth would they support a provincial party that wants to increase taxes, institute a sales tax, and kill the economy by blindly following Kyoto.

Personally, I am more apolitical than anything, I simply don't believe in politics and politicians - they are in it for the power, the pigs trough and the golden pension.

Perhaps for some, no doubt. Until our system changes, though, that will not change.

As would I, which is why I do. Range fed is best for all animals.

 

[mrmom2]

Yea but grain fed tastes so good :wink:

 

[Jo Canadian]

Grain fed is 1000% better, although it pales in comparison to Caribou...So I got a little spoiled up north. It took me awhile to get used to beef.

RE: Another Alberta Messa

I was almost ready to quit eating beef ... back to vegetarian ... then I found Yates St. Market which cuts all their own beef. They use Alberta beef, but I suspect the quality comes from the butchering as much as the beef. It's clean, it's fresh and it is delicious. Plus I can get them to cut whatever I like. So much for carrot munching! Unless I have to go back to supermarket beef. Ick.

 

[mrmom2]

I'm more an Elk fan so tender never had Caribou though 8) Tried some Cougar steak once and believe it or not kind of tastes like chicken

Bison and Bison jerky is excellent as well.
