This week's Economist has an article which claims that Canada's cattle industry is losing $7.8 million (not sure if this is USD or CAD) per day due to the boycott. Japan has also restricted Canadian imports and has told the U.S. that if it starts re-importing Canadian beef it will restrict U.S imports as well because there is inadequate tracking of livestock once they enter the U.S. The article claims Canada is getting its just deserts for its earlier quick restrictions on Japanese and British BSE. steve "Il dulce far niente" The sweetness of doing nothing My unemployment motto
