This is pretty crappy news....

The people really hurt by this will be the farmers. When the doors closed on beef in Canada (because of our 1 mad cow), we had a huge oversupply and it was being sold off at ridiculous prices. 60% off all steaks, 70% off hamburger, etc. Nice for the consumer, but it has hurt the farming industry quite a bit.

I hope you guys fare better, but it kind of pisses me off that it's already being called 'no big deal' and 'no cause for concern' by analysts, gov't officials and such. We paid a huge toll because of 1 cow that DIDN'T enter the processing plant. If it's 'no big deal' - why was the border closed and the Canadian industry punished for so long?
