That border closer of Canadian Beef had noughting to do with the war fellas, That was decision made from the US that was from an ongoing deal with beef back 10 years ago. Japan had a problems right into the US with beef back then and the Canadian Goverment stopped all US and Japan's beef from entering the country for a time period. As sad as it was , it boils right back to our lovely Goverment for the closer of Canadian Beef crossing in the summer. The ranchers in the west know this and this is why they have spooked out and asked not to stop beef, just try to get it cleaned up...BT
