CWB vs Farmers...

Ha Ha Ha! Talk about conspiracy theories. Fran you really brightened my day.

Contray to what you are insinuating, I have never claimed the Supreme Court was in disagreement of the Federal Court of appeal decision. (laughing again)

I believe the 3 judges did exactly as they were supposed to do when they received the application for leave to appeal. They reviewed the application and decided that this application did not call for an interpretation of the law, nor would a trial be a matter of great importance to most Canadians. Therefore it did not meet the criteria needed for leave to appeal be granted and a trial sheduled. The decision to deny was neither a rejection, nor an endorsement of the Federal Court of Appeal ruling. So the Federal Court of Appeal ruling stands.

dmlf, I give you full marks for being tenacious.

Read again your own words on spinning:

"Spin has a nasty habit of coming back and biting the spin doctor in the ass, especially if the spin doctor continues to try to mislead after being called on it.

'The truth, unlike lies, require no embellishment' Michael Mencias"

I try to follow what I once read: "don't let the wish become the parent of the thought"
(and no I cannot provide you with the source of that saying)

It's got nothing to do with conspiracy theories, just trying to clarify your nit-picky argument.

I don't think it is particularly unreasonable for someone to say the Supreme Court agreed with the lower court's decision based on the fact that they see no need to review the decision. You may wish to put it on the razor's edge of a neutral position, but that's not a particularly convincing argument. If they weren't sure one way or the other they would have proceeded with another trial to clarify things.

Nevertheless the important thing in all this is that the appeal court ruling stands and is the law of the land, and the CWB will have to abide by it.

Back to the notion of voting on the whole thing, I think farmers should be allowed to vote with their trucks and their deliveries just like they do with all of their other crops. There's nothing more democratic than the marketplace.

So sad for Canadian farmers. Who in the free world could ever believe the cunundrum faced by producers? It almost seems surreal. Bins full of durum and your hands are tied because you have to sell it through an agency who has no intention nor incentive to perform - how fun. Cruel game.
