Beef export ban cited as keeping Canada affordable
Mike Drakich of Windsor Ontario argues that if the United States had not halted beef exports prices could have spiked to seven to eight dollars per pound for prime cuts. He links the CRA pressure on authorities to curb exports with rising restaurant food costs and mentions a broader 39 percent increase in food costs for the sector over the past year. He also notes onion, lettuce and potato price surges and says restaurant price hikes lag behind raw cost increases. In Linz Austria Anna Muelburger delivers her 20th child, and her husband expresses pride while lamenting finding names for many offspring.
