From the posted article:

"The 6-year-old cow was identified on a Fraser Valley farm through the national BSE surveillance program. It is fifth case in Canada since May 2003, when the U.S. border was closed to Canadian beef after the sick cows were detected in Canada.

In a written statement, the inspection agency said the case would have no bearing on the safety of Canadian beef, because no part of the animal entered the human food or animal feed systems."

“It is important to note that Canada’s monitoring system identified this animal as one that should be removed from the food and feed supply chain, ensuring food safety continues to be protected,” Johanns said in a statement.
