I think that you are exactly right about some hidden agenda of
determination
by the 'Establishment' to move livestock out of the Alberta / Saskatchewan,
Hi Mark,
Not just Alberta/Sask.. current "Mad Cow" Crisis is affecting all of Canada..
irrespective of the science of TSEs or the interests of the local farming
population out there. But I have not as yet understood their motives for
suiciding
their own rural communities.
A number of things, OECD Ag subsidies are 300–360B$ year.. And there is a big political drive to cut back subsidies..
Even if governments pay well over short term market value as UK government did during FMD.. they are big winners saving long term subsidies if they force farmers out of business..
Further, the so called globalization process is also an urbanization process.. Similar things happening all over the world.. E.G. Chinese previously estimated 150 million excess farmers post WTO as example..
I believe some programme the Uk governement was sponsoring (under Claire Short??) was estimated to displace 20 million farmers in Andra(?) Pradesh..A couple million Polish small farmers estimated to be forced off the land after EU-nification... etc.. etc.. etc..
Also dovetails with the sustainability agenda..
Having lectured both government / scientific and farming bodies ( and field
researched ) out there, I certainly detected this mindset determination by
the
Canadian government itself to slaughter out its own cattle herd in these
areas
, regardless of the scientific truth on the cause / control / prevention of
TSE diseases. They had totally deaf ears to anything that deviated from the
feed BSE cause theory, even though this single cow with BSE was totally
'range
reared' on pasture and hay throughout its entire life- the Canadian
government
researchers actually told me this when I lectured them in Edmonton !!
It would suit the Canadian pols as well.. to force their farmers out of business under the guise of a bogus scare..
Also conditions the remaining ones to support "rule based" trading..
All the major Canadian federal parties, Liberals, Alliance, NDP are lickspittle globalists...
All the Best
