No. I did not mean that the producers In the third world would consume imports. That's why I stated that they consumed more of the food that they themselves produced.

You said nothing of the kind. Or at least I saw nothing of the kind in what you wrote. Please restate what you wrote in some manner which is comprehensible to me if you want a response.

No. I didn't think so. That was just a cheap trick wasn't it.

Actually, it's no sort of a trick at all. I seriously have no idea what you were trying to say now. So now you have to rewrite your objection. It's sort of hard for me to respond seriously when my opponent is speaking in tongues.

Bye bye sweetie pie. Spreading confusion as you do must be a survival instinct of some kind...

Actually I started getting very sick yesterday. I've been a little sick since Friday and it got worse. I apologize for getting personal. I get nasty when I'm sick.

You mean the US ban on Canadian beef?

Since the ban only applies to live cows born before 1997,no. You will remember that the case of mad cow disease that we had came from a cow from north of the Border that was born before that date and that information was not made available until after it was discovered. It was a poorly constructed non-tariff barrier if it was one. If we banned all canadian beef, then yes it would have been one, and had that been its intent I'd have opposed it since we shouldn't use ntbs, but rather tariffs.
