The Conservative Party’s Fair-Weather Democrats

[mbratrud]

Chuck Chuck again the Federal election was the vote that mattered. By the way I voted three times in the CWB sham pleb.

Mbratrud. Its not over yet. Alot depends on public opinion and a court case that could drag on.

So next time you end up with a government you don't support, will the federal election be the only vote that counts when it comes to ag. policy?

Honestly, is that the way you want ag. policy made in this country? Skip the BS and answer truthfully. Because you are inviting future governments to ignore the majority of farmers.

Because I believe the majority of farmers want to be fairly consulted.

Agreed, this wasn't done when the mandatory
CWB was instituted. Thankfully, the Harper
Conservatives are the government with the
integrity to finally fix this past transgression.

chuckchuck, this is Canada and we respect minority rights in this country. You aren't in the majority and you know it, but it doesn't matter if you were because you can't just steal someone else's property with a simple vote of like minded loons. This is not North Korea.

c.c.

"Because I believe the majority of farmers want to be fairly consulted."

We were. The CWB survey was much more accurate than this sham plebicite.

You do not have the moral integrety to admit the CWB was wrong to waste a million dollars..SO FAR... and depreciate the good will the CWB has remaining more each day.

Very good discussion!!! I still say I am surprised at the wide margin the market choice side won by: 39000 to 29000!

Too bad Chuck... you rolled the dice and lost again!!!

..and the CWB plebiscite purposely excluded a
certain proportion of farmers they knew wouldn't
vote their way, and sent multiple ballots to others.

Never mind that nobody should have a vote on
trampling someone else's property rights.

Chuckchuck the Majority of Farmers have been fairly consulted. Look at the vote breakdown on the Prairies from the spring election, including the rural vote, which voted for a platform that ends the CWB Monopoly.

ChuckChuck I have lived with Ag Policy I didn't agree with for a long time, for precisely the reasons you pointed out.

I was supportive of the CWB operating in some form in the future. There are many good people that work at the Board and unfortunately the current Board of Directors is pissing away any chance of life for the CWB after the single desk.

I know of CWB staff that are already looking for work and they are good people and will find good jobs, I feel for them because they had a chance to be part of something new and exciting but instead they are working for and organization that has a Board that only knows how to look in the rearview mirror.

It is so over but you guys will be kicking and screaming in denial until after the For Sale sign goes on 423 Main Street.

Chuckchuck I know you are passionate about your position and you have every right to be.

Independence day is coming Aug 1 2012.

[Braveheart]

Once again, this is about business. You can't hold some phoney vote and think you have the right to force my property into the hands of someone I want nothing to do with!

Also, I predict that if this is not resolved there will be civil disobedience on a level not seen before. I know farmers that are usually easy going rational people that are saying they're going to the border with truckloads if the issue doesn't move forward.

So stuff that in your fair weather pipe!

Good points mbratrud.
I too for 30 years have had my head patted benignly everytime I asked a simple 'why' or 'what if' question.

[begood]

chuck You think "this is over End of story" I think not. Just for starters; part of the legislation might well be to immediately clean out the boardroom.
