Letters: Message to the pork council

I feel I must take issue (once again) with Manitoba Pork. In a 700-plus word article appearing in several rural papers recently, Cam Dahl, the industry group’s general manger, makes the preposterous claim that “it’s hard to be green while in the red.”  If you are in the red, you must have been working at
