The U.S. is redoing its labeling laws to comply with international conventions. It says that this will make it easier to import and distribute Canadian meat. Canada says it's a terrible idea and that it will inhibit trade with the U.S. In fact they threaten retaliatory action.
What is going on here? Maybe we should just let Canada work it out with the International body. If it's good enough for them, it should be good enough for us. (The article never mentioned it, but I suspect American meat producers are somehow involved in this matter.)
Next weird item: The Chinese find 3,300 dead pigs floating down a river. No mention of where these unfortunate pigs came from, or how they met their end. The Chinese seem primarily concerned that this sort of thing might pollute their water supply. Duh, you think!
Finally, we come to Carl Icahn entering into a non-disclosure agreement with a major company in which he has an interest. Isn't this what they mean by insider trading?
