Not a moment too soon...
Jumped in my car after economics and drove to the country to sit in on a meeting with the local Ontario Federation of Agriculture members. Just by chance, I happened to be sitting beside the county’s Economic Development Officer (EDO)! Thought that was pretty funning considering the day’s events… (read the previous post). The EDO asked me for my email address since I was interested the newsletter she distributes. This has left me wondering just how quickly I can make some positive changes to the townships economy…
First, however, I’m going to invest a bit more time researching
Gencore. In short, Canada has a lot of beef cattle that it ships it to the United States where it is slaughtered, turned into steaks or pepperoni and then the food is shipped back to Canadian stores. Since the U.S. has stopped accepting Canadian Beef cattle across it’s boarder Farmers have nowhere to send their animals to be slaughtered. Gencore has opened a slaughterhouse in Kitchener and there are two things I want to find out: what happens to the meat it produces and how much profit has it made to date.
