I think in a global sense maybe but increasing Canadian beef production increases Canadian pollution. As much as higher prices will discourage consumption they will also encourage production.

You guys are still able to afford beef?

I don't know how it is in Canada now but I'm in the US. we stopped importing cattle from Mexico and that raised the price quite a bit. Import ban coupled with fertilizer increases and fuel cost increases has caused beef to go way up in price.

Most people don't care where their meat comes from. No one is out there ordering Texas specific steaks. Consumers notice when the price goes up. I don't know the stats for Canada. They may not import much from Texas anyway. I know Canada is already very protective in dairy but I don't know about beef.
