To be 'Frank', he sounds a lot like Brian did

Canada's Ambassador to the U.S., Frank McKenna, gave an interview to the American political cable channel C-SPAN yesterday. In the interview, McKenna refuted claims ranging from rampant anti-Americanism in this country to terrorists filtering south across our border.

The bulk of the interview focused on trade issues, and on the issue of cattle exports, McKenna made this interesting comment:

"If this blockage continues on the border, we're increasingly going to develop our own processing industry in Canada and we're going to increasingly invest in the science that will lead to universal testing or perhaps something short of (that) If we do that, it will mean processing jobs will move from the United States into Canada. And that's not where we want to go."

"...jobs...move...into Canada. And that's not where we want to go. "

Astonishing! If Canadians started processing their own meat, it might not be long before things degrade to the point where we're processing our own raw logs. Thank goodness our man in Washington is speaking up to save unsuspecting Canadians from the evils of economic diversification and gainful employment. Thank you Ambassador McKenna, we can all go back to hewing wood and drawing water - at least if we can get it past Customs...
