I'll believe that Canada's testing is adequate when we start testing every cow slaughtered. Same for the US. We also need to get rid of all animal protein in all animal feed on both sides of the border.
Well, we don't. And Americas don't test every animal. It has been proposed, but so far not practised.
And the feed with animal in it was banned, but not actually done - it still gets in the feed. And the one this week was from old feed left over, which is okay in the ongoing sense of course.
But the big issue is trade with America.
I would love to not have anything to do with them and their war-mongering President. But Canada could not "afford" to reduce trade with America... Energy exports account for half our GDP, and 80% of our wealth comes from this trade partner.
What we must do soon is to start to find an alternate market for every product or service now traded with America. As these other markets - China, India, Japan, Asia in general, Europe - are found, then simply ship the stuff there instead of America.
But the energy - with pipelines set up and all that infrastructure, we really cant just "ship it elsewhere".
But we find ourselves in a situation like WW2 and AMerica's Standard oil - they could have stopped Hitler's war machine by simply NOT SELLING the Nazis OIL and GAS. Thats where Hitler's energy-fuels came from, a lesson not taught in our schools. Are you hearing this now for the first time?
So here we are, selling America, the Evil giant, gas and oil that they are using to commit atrocities and illegal invasions of Iraq with.Without Canada's oil and gas, America's war machine would stall !! Even tho we only account for 20% of their fossil fuel imports, it would make the difference and cause other nations "not onside" with AMerica to reduce their exports to the U.S. also, in protest of the many and various international aggressions and global domination efforts.
