Except we don’t have to eat shitty US beef. I call that a win.

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.

We now get a lot of Australian imports.
