I guess that's what seems so wacky about all this. Many countries banned Canadian beef, yet it was deemed safe by our government health officials .The same stance will no doubt be taken by US health officials, even as other countries stop the importation of American beef. Reminds me of the stance regarding drug importation from Canada by many US citizens. The "We must inspect it for our citizens" seems a great way to protect turf, as the officials in both countries have very high standards , and I have no doubt either wants to sicken their own populace, or that of their neighbor.

I have lived within spitting distance of the US my entire life, and believe their standards and ours to be very comparable. Yet the fact that we will now not be able to bring a beef Subway sandwich from the US to Canada for personal consumption baffles me!!

Makes ya wonder , sometimes.......
