Unofficial election results

Chuckles,

I note the March 2011 Canola 'single desk' ICE price is at $573/t Canadian!

Can you imagine if the CWB 'single desk' monopoly got its meat hooks into Canola... what the CWB price would be?

$400/t?

A $300/t Canola initial?

Kodiak, yes I understand the frustration as I've been in similar situations myself on other issues. The way to change things in my opinion is to convince your fellow producers, fellow voters that your arguments are the right ones. Not voting (not you personally) then trying to get the minister to override the majority is not the democratic way to do it in my book.

Grassfarmer,

Just in case you forgot;

The 'majority' includes Quebec.

This whole system of BC, Quebec, Ontario, and Maritimes voting on what the CWB should or can't do is not democratic, reasonable, just, or moral.

YOU are WRONG Grassfarmer.

[grassfarmer]

No TOM you are wrong - keep it simple and honest - the only people voting in this election were your fellow grain producers in the appropriate zones in the prairies.
Talk of changing things politically in Ottawa is a different issue. Kodiak and I were discussing the issue of producers not voting in this election.
If you decided not to vote although you were eligible don't blame the results on guys in different provinces that weren't voting. That is sheer fantasy.

organic producers have Flaman, Korneychuk,
Stewart and any others I missed?

So, boys, we don't have many numbers! How
come folks vote for organic porducers?

Must be we have earned the art of sweetalk,
what say Tinker?

Pars.

Lol

I am. Devlish tonight cott! Better hide. Lol

[parsley]

Tinker,
I guess you will think, if you are consistent, that it
is immoral that a ragtag bunch of organic
producers should be representing conventional
farmers.......

I could not resist that one Tom, lol
Yer pal pars

Another election is done and the board sinks further into irrelevancy.

[TOM4CWB]

Parsley,

Thanks for getting the mini-bulk bag of salt out....

Now perhaps if we dumped it on grassfarmers tail...

Trust a livestock producer to defend the CWB, how much milling wheat/durum do you say you sell the CWB each year?

Cheap feed makes calves worth more.

Tomorrows headline should read, " Majority of farmers see no point in voting in CWB elections"
