Canada suspends some pork imports from Smithfield Foods

[ThatOwlWoman]

He already did but it appears the contract was put on the back burner when it was leaked. Remember all the bitching and moaning from the MAGAts about electric tanks and electric vehicles are year or so ago? IIrony

What we know about claims State Department was set to buy $400M in 'armored Teslas'

The department said via email that it has not awarded Tesla — or any manufacturer — a contract to produce armored electric vehicles.

Actually they've been whining and screeching for YEARS about EVs. They hated Musk until he bought Twitter and let #TRE45ONv2.0 have his bully pulpit back. Now he's golden.

Cheaper pork for us then.

I'm gonna be super pissed if my crab legs, which are a product of Canada, get tariffed.

Pork products from Smithfield Foods' Tar Heel, North Carolina facility are not eligible for export to Canada until further notice. According to the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service, meat products originating from the establishment on or after March 6 will not be permitted to enter into the country.

Ray Atkinson, senior director of external communications for the company, says the issue pertains to a limited number of certain offal shipments. Smithfield is working with USDA FSIS to expedite the resolution of this matter.

No other Smithfield Foods facilities or U.S. pork processing plants were named in the FSIS announcement.

Fewer legless crabs in Canada. Eat crabs from Alaska.

The Party of Trump should adopt the motto "We flip-flop for money".

They don't sell them here. Plus the Alaskan crab fisheries were closed for the last two years. So STFU already, Quackter. lol

You'll just get them from Alaska.

Notice just targeting red states, pork just from NC and booze just from kentucky

Notice that are targeting food and booze. The fact that it is red states is irrelevant. Our food processing is abhorrent to many countries. What is their payoff for targeting specific states? Trump cannot run again. They are not hurting King Donald.

Possibly, but as usual in the US, money talks and bullshit walks. Those with the money are willing to give the Orange Jesus a little leeway to produce results, but if those results aren't forthcoming, they'll rein him in.

That will be an interesting battle.

What news do you suggest? I totally pay attention, especially these days...
I am so excited about all the changes...particularly what's going to be happening with out schools... If I believed in double dipping, I'd go back to work...but I do not...so I'll just continue to volunteer...

Well I watch several news outlets, AOL, News nation IF you can separate the right wing BS, ABC and CBS.
NO schools??
So let back hill red necks educate educate our kids?
I guess MAGAS want to keep out people uneducated as possible.
Got to keep them down on the farm I guess.

I'm vegetarian.

Of course you are

Did anyone else notice Guno's partisan solidarity with the Democrats in loving Ukraine and loathing the US?

Did anyone else notice IBDaMann's partisan solidarity with MAGA in loving Trump and loathing the non-MAGA?

Nope. Don't sell them here. Plus as I told FatLame, the crab fisheries in Alaska were closed in 2022 and 2023 and into 2024. There was a low quota crab season 2024-25 but those probably haven't hit the market yet.

ETAL I have been eating crab legs purchased at the grocery for decades. I have never once seen "USA Product" on the required labels. It's been either Product of Russia or Product of Canada.

We always have the Snow Crab legs available here in Md.. They sometimes go on sale for less $10 per lb..

@IBDaMann is cray-cray which is befitting a MAGAt.

Toxic is trying to play the "I really was a teacher really I was" charade with you. She wasn't. But that's why she dropped the whole "what news do you suggest I watch?" suck-up and segued into that fantasy. lol
