    This is not really about the CWB, this is about money and votes.

      Folks,

      The Agstar77's and Burberts are laughing at us... instead of insisting the CWB reform and begin to transition into a viable commercial business.

      Unless having the CWB gone... is what they truly want and expect...

      Negotiations MUST create an operational viable road map to a future for our industry.

      We couldn't even figure out an equitable and fair way to buy 2 ships!

      What a totally embarrassing national disgrace!!!

      At least the Conservatives are attempting to find out what we want... it is clear we do not know our selves!!!

          It is cynical to believe the Conservatives are just trying for votes. However, if you say that, who else can you vote for? Liberals and NDP guarantee you the CWB and perhaps an even more government controls. I see no choice but to hope and inform all MP's we demand this bill pass asap. Everyone should be at least somewhat satisfied. Get on their emails or phones!

            fjlip, you right, the liberals and NDP will keep the CWB and try to stuff canola in there as well.

              With apologies to the creators of Gilligans Island themesong,

              Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale,
              A tale of a costly ship.
              Before the farmer gets a choice,
              His wallet we will pick,
              And we don’t care a lick.

              Before C619 can get passed,
              Deduct another buck a tonne,
              So far off the market price now,
              It won’t be noticed by anyone,
              Won’t be noticed by anyone.

              The weather started getting rough,
              The prairie crop got tossed,
              If not for overselling of a crappy crop,
              That buck a tonne it would be lost,
              But in propaganda it will be glossed.

                  Furrow, You said:
                  " you right, the liberals and NDP will keep the CWB and try to stuff canola in there as well".

                  Is there credible evidence to this statement? I'm just asking!

                    Nothing credible just a gut feeling. Anyway it will be interesting to see where this bill ends up.

                      Furrow;

                      Put the ENO away! We mushrooms don't grow good when fed it :-)

                      I don't think that, or a lentil marketing board (LMB) will/should ever happen.

                      However I do think that the minister of AG/CWB knows more than he lets us know and is not being honest with us about the big picture and direction this or any other, Gov't is taking us.
