Canadian Chickens
Canadians worry that their governments failure to support the US gives little incentive to lift the ban on beef after the discovery of Mad Cow disease north of the border.
"At the time, some of us suggested that the prime minister's reluctance to join the so-called Coalition of the Willing could result in those chickens -- metaphorically speaking -- eventually coming home to roost.
"Little did we imagine just how soon that might happen.
"But as the saga of BSE, or mad cow disease, plays itself out across Alberta, B.C. and Saskatchewan, it's hard not to wonder what impact the prime minister's snub of our biggest trading partner (not to mention the bad-mouthing of U.S. President George W. Bush by Liberal caucus members) will have on the speedy reopening of the U.S. market to Canadian cattle and beef."
