Carney is undoing a decades long stagnation. Good for him, I hope we never go back to performative politics again.
The same goes for Pierre and whatever remnants of the NDP.
Great (/s), more competition to raise consumer prices even higher. We don’t have a high enough cattle count as it is to keep consumer prices down domestically. It’s not like the farmer is going to see higher prices paid to them for it either.
Expenses to produce are way too high and COVID-time headcount reductions are still plaguing us.
Extra demand is just going to make things worse for a long time. It’s going to take many years to recover the herd counts as it is.
Same problem as with bacon, how that has never recovered from the price hikes when the major pork producers got rid of their pigs due to rising costs. Used to be $2 per 500g pack, but that’s LONG gone.
Edit: I forgot the /s. Wow, downvoted for not being able to afford to eat meat anymore.
Like the lack of being able to buy even ground beef nowadays wasn’t punishment enough.
It’s the FARMERS we should be helping, increasing the supply helps prices to eventually be lowered, not making an existing demand stretched market even worse.
Maybe I shouldn’t have taken the risk to express my dissatisfaction for once on here.
Is this exciting? Real question, this presumably helps beef industry by reopening a market but is that even a good thing for most Canadian consumers? What does that mean for the average Canadian, is this one of those trickle down benefit things?
Considering it was stopped in 2021 and restarted I’d think you could estimate the benefit looking at past years. I understand why CCA is happy, but what’s the return for Canadians? Is it unreasonable to ask for that value to be quantifiable? Is the value from new jobs/investment/taxes greater than the potential individual cost? What does it look like for the average Canadian anyway? You’d think this would be something to highlight, the individual benefit of international trade if that’s going to be a pillar of your economic policy.
I can’t believe the ignorance in these comments. Do people really think the solution to high prices is just cutting off exports so that Canadian producers have to dump supply only in Canada? Go back to economics 101 to find out how to create jobs and prosperity please.
