There was no complete ban in place to begin with.
It was a promise by the former prime minister. Like election reforms.
I really hope Mark Carney government does reverse the ban on horse exports for slaughter.
Alberta has a lot of all organic, free range, cruelty free, grass-fed, free grazing horses running around feral and the government has to pay to keep their population in check. Crate them up and ship them for people who wish to eat all natural lean animal protein.
That's a better use of resources than shooting them and letting them go to waste. Instead of banning it just because it hurts the feelings of a few horse-people.
