    Braveheart,

    I still have the leather jacket!

    Didn't wear it to Calgary... wore a VERY thin vest... but didn't need the jacket!

    After nearly 20 years... of these political realities... we learn to speak more slowly, answer more carefully, and listen to our legal council!

    I have truly learned a lifetime of knowledge... hope to share it with family, freinds... and farmers who are looking to build a better world!

    There could be no better time to be alive!

    We are truly blessed!!!

    Cheers.

        Rook,

        Prairie grain producers.

        67-R-2008, Paragraph 9. of CTA ruling:

        9. It is estimated that during the first seven years under the Revenue Cap
        Program (i.e. from crop year 2000-2001 to crop year 2006-2007) the
        railway companies received more than $550 million for hopper car
        maintenance costs while incurring less than $250 million for this
        maintenance. Thus, in the period, the railway companies have received at
        least $300 million more than they have spent on hopper car maintenance,
        and this has been paid by Prairie grain producers."...

          But Tom, in the past you have stated that railways and grain merchants were are best friends and we should treat them all with respect and they would treat us fairly too.

          All of the sudden the RRs are crooked snakes...what gives?

          Finally saw the light, did we?
