🇨🇦🇺🇦🤔Not to sound arrogant but there is a reason why Canada doesn’t have the problems with bird flu with regard to our chicken processing because the industry is heavily regulated & inspected. Same with our beef industry-which we pride ourselves upon too!! #CanadaBeef🇨🇦 🐄

Agreed! Canadian beef and chicken and pork are much better 😋

Not arrogant. We don't know that our civic institutions were created as a bulwark against corporations passing their expenses to us as pollution and health harms. And our subservience to "line go up" corporate thinking has kept these institutions weak. But now that they're disappearing....

My understanding is that (a) poultry operations are smaller, (b) it's winter so there's less interaction between poultry and wild birds carrying avian flu. Large poultry operations are all about profit, not robust production that can handle a few operations getting bird flu without shutting down.

🇨🇦🇺🇦Donald Trump is dumb. Not only do we import more dairy from the US than we sell the US, but we have a system in place that we produce what we need to supply Canadians first. That’s why Trump is pissed. We don’t NEED his dairy-we aren’t reliant on it! #ElbowsUp 🇨🇦 #Armstrong youtu.be/XMB61w9cPe4?...

I'm Australian. We don't have HN5 bird flu here. That's why we ban US poultry. Same with brucellosis in cattle, we don't have it. That's why we ban US beef. US food is not only full of harmful chemicals, your livestock is pestilential. You don't know that as you fired all the health inspectors.

In Europe we also have regulations around the amount of birds that can be housed in one building. And it's WAY smaller than anything the US does. Which is another way to prevent the outbreak and spread of dangerous illnesses.

The only place I see constant recalls of meat is the US. That's why Canada doesnt want US food, we consider it dirty.
