  1. I dont eat much beef anymore but well aware that the cost of it has skyrocketed. I’m happy to see more exports but is this a case of another price increase due to increased demand? What plans do we have to increase our supply? I dont see cost of feed going down anytime soon.

  2. How are Chinese citizens affording Canadian beef? Canadians can’t even afford Canadian beef

  3. I dont think people understand how bad and long the drought in the states as been..or how summer after dry summer has cause both canadain and American farmers ro.cut herds .

    Its beef costs so much now.

    Farmers sell high pricesed cuts now ..making lower cuts cost more

    Wonder what this will do to beef prices in the grocery store. Like they aren’t expensive enough already!

    Canola is used as feed for everything too.

    Pretty sad we have to pay so much for lobster. Before lobster was in vogue in china, it was affordable here. It has more than doubled in since 2015.

    I don’t understand, how are we selling Beef to China when beef is massively overpriced in Canada because there isn’t enough stock?

    How can we sell beef when there is apparently not enough supply to supply our selves which is causing massive price gouging at grocers?

    If you would have told me even 2 years ago that I’d be happier buying Chinese products than American ones I honestly don’t think I would have believed it. But here we are. I still don’t fully trust the Chinese; However, I believe what the government is doing in regards to resetting our relationship with them has been the right move.

    I mean, I’m happy to diversity our economy. I’m not happy about the price of beef going up.

    I also hope Canada begins selling potash to everyone EXCEPT the US. Dumping their crop yields will bring pain to the whole population. And as the climate changes, the US will be less able to grow important crops and Canada will be MORE able.
