Greetings from Alberta..... The home of tasty Alberta beef,

And both cases of mad cow disease in North America.

Is that a fact.......?????????

Now if my feeble facts serve me well is was just a year and a few days
ago that ONE cow was discovered with BSE in Alberta..... the home of
tasty Alberta beef.

And if the rest of my feeble brain is working it was shortly thereafter
that the second case of BSE was discovered in GAAAAAASSSSSSP
the Good ole US of A.

Now Newps I don't know what your having for supper tonite but for the
last hour I've been watching a homespun Canadian flying show on TV
while trying to decide whether or not it's roast chicken or roast beef
for supper tonite...... And I'd like to thank you for making up my
mind.

Take one frozen chunk of tasty Alberta beef.... In this case a roast.
Throw it into an electric frying pan set on low heat. Add a handful of
chopped onions, couple ounces of soya sauce and a big squirt of
barbeque sauce, fill to the rim with water, cover, and leave for about
three to four hours.

When it breaks apart with a fork it's ready to eat.... no knife needed.

Now that's tasty Albert beef.

So besides a serving of crow just what are you having for supper.

and if my feeble facts serve me well, that second case was a cow
from Canada... Last I heard, Canadian officials didn't believe
that and so a lot of folks were researching.

well, in the past few years they'd been squeaking into the
playoffs near the last spot. whether or not they were
ultimately Cup worthy, they should have made it out of the
first round. they were about to and should have buried the
Habs.

(I still measure the Bruins by the 69-70 team).

It probably was Bob.... But we sent it to the US of A so that you
Americans could see first hand what happens when your borders get
closed to beef exports and what happens when your government runs
around like the proverbial chicken with it's head cut off.

It's not a pleasant experience to the thousands of farmers and ranchers
who lives have been destroyed or put into utter turmoil or those who
work in the industry whether they are a truck driver who delivers
cattle, those that slaughter them, or those that sell them.

And since a cow doesn't know what side of the border it is on, or what
a flag looks like, then the people who's lives are shattered get to
experience that on both sides of the borders.... Yours, and mine.

It actually helped the situation. You guys fed the little cows their
chopped up brothers and sisters when they were yearlings. Cows get sold to
someone here and when it is about 4-5 yeras old it has mad cow disease. So
now we know that it takes several years for a cow to develop the disease and
that a cow that would develop the disease but is butchered prior to that is
perfectly safe.

It had little to no effect here in the states. The price has held steady
since the highs last summer and early fall.

For those of us that grew up living and breathing hockey we always get that
little smile when somebody says ice hockey. It instantly indentifies you as
an outsider. Much like pronouncing the capital of South Dakota "Pee air".

Exactly.

Same on this side of the border and yet many farmers and ranchers on
both sides have taken the financial hit while the processors and food
stores have made a very healthy profit.
