The US just reported its first case of Mad cow in Washington State and a number of countries (Primarily Japan, Taiwan, SouthKorea and even Russia) have already begun to ban US beef imports. As I recall, a few months back Canada had the exact same problem with one isolated case of Mad cow in Alberta and we insisted Canadian beef in general was still safe to consume. America went ahead and effectively ban all beef imports. Fair enough, but in keeping with the way they treated Canadians I think its only fair we turn around and show them the same level of courtesy they showed us. BAN IT!!

By the way, they kept the ban in effect for over 3 months.
