WINNIPEG, Manitoba, Dec 29 (Reuters) - Morale and
markets for the Canadian cattle industry, seriously damaged by a
case of mad cow disease seven months ago, now hang on the
results of a paternity test, farmers said on Monday.

Interesting article.

I can why Canadian farmers are anxious for the test with all the

The Canadians could always turn around and claim that the original mad
cow they had earlier this year did, in fact, come from the U.S.

And they would be correct. But, thank god the Canadians have more class
in one Province than the Moron and his finger pointers have in the
entire country. Ever notice the Moron taking responsibility for his
mistakes and lies? U.S. was first country to ban Canadian beef when mad
cow hit Alberta. And what does the Moron do when one shows up in States,
he said eat beef, it won't hurt you. He also said not to boycott beef.
It's not the right thing to do!
