Its position may be out of step with the biofuel buzz -- but it's hard to argue. It's one thing to compete with a market-driven demand for feedgrain, but quite another to be forced to compete with an industry for which government is creating the demand by requiring biofuel blends, and subsidizing the development needed to meet those targets.
It all adds up to increased pressure on the beleaguered cattle industry, still attempting to recover from the impacts of the 2003 bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) debacle, a stronger Canadian dollar and weather-induced feed shortages. A 2006 analysis by the Canadian Agricultural Trade Policy Research Network (CATPRN) tallied up $4.062 billion in BSE-related losses alone. The recovery is not complete, with the border still closed to older catt...

Canadian policy makers have repeatedly emphasized improving relations with Brazil as a strategic objective in the Americas. Given past failures to cooperate, this objective may be difficult to realize. We argue that one of the reasons for this unrealized relationship between Canada and Brazil within hemispheric institutions is different national approaches to the role and purpose of multilateralism. This argument is advanced through an analysis of national interpretations of each country's engagement with multilateralism, drawing on the local literatures. The paper concludes with a discussion of the prospects and limits of future multilateral cooperation between the two countries, drawing on examples from the Inter-American System.
