Location and Regulations.

We can also wonder how a child working in a blood diamond mine can feed its family, but first world countries often have 2income household and can barely feed 1child.

Still doesn't quite make sense to me. First of all Australia isn't exactly 3rd world child labor country, it's 1st world country that even has a better quality of life than Canada and the USA. Second of all, importing products all the way from Australia to Canada (one side of the world to the other) requires a lot more big expensive transportation in Jumbo jets and large ocean cargo ships as well as clearing customs into the country while a Canadian grocery store is usually even in the same province as very cattle farm it gets its beef from and getting the beef to the grocery store is only a little bit of a truck ride away from a farm that's a 2 hour drive from the city the grocery store is in, Alberta has a lot of beef farms. One clearly requires a lot more transportation logistics than the other, how does that justify a $24 steak imported from Australia while having an $80 local Canadian steak of the same weight? That simply does not add up.

Perhaps Canada will make an EXPORT AGREEMENT FOR AUSTRALIAN BEEF TO CHINA!!!
