RM, if you look back on my previous posts from the last year or so, you'll plainly see that the only thing that I've really got against COOL is that it will increase costs which the producer ALWAYS ends up paying for. Otherwise, I'm happy and proud to see Product of Canada stamped all over anything under the sun. Hell, this year I'll be supplying Made In Canada backgrounders to Randy.
But not allowing the multi-country label is pure and simple protectionist crap, whether you want to admit it or not.

Cost or opportunity...it's a matter of attitude.
I have little problem with the multi-country label because before, consumers assumed all the meat they bought was a USA product. With the multi-country label, it becomes a fact they can't assume that. They will wonder why this company doesn't tell them where a steak comes from and another company is proud to tell them...from which company would you buy your steaks?

Note to Dopp...get head out of boss's a$$! Every survey done disputes this statement...history will prove what is right.
