    If democracy and majority rule is what CWB supporters really want

    So we are back on the democracy bandwagon. Forced to a plebiscite you will loose barley for sure as you barely got 50% with rigged election. Allow all the feed barley producers to vote who you excluded and it will be strong majority the other way. Lets vote on wheat classes and you are likely to loose durum, winterwheat and CPS. Maybe at the same time we will vote on removal from the designated area on a provincial basis because precedence dictates that because not all provinces are in designated area, producers should have the right to opt out. You will loose Alberta for sure. So lets just keep spending farmers money on a battle you will loose. The CWB as we know it will not remain in it's current form.

    I don't think our current government and their new leader differ very much in thinking from the manitoba ndp.

    We should have been out of this debacle years ago.

      Yeah, lets have another vote, then
      another, then another, till we's gets
      what we wants! Sayin things over and
      over and over again, don't make it the
      truth. Shoutin down people and name
      callin don't get it done either. There
      was a vote, wheat and barley producers
      have had their say. Cousin some
      producers are so stupid that they choose
      not ta vote, wipe their butts wit the
      ballot, couldn't figure out how ta mail
      it back, er are afraid a the boggey man
      isn't my problem. Is it?

        Fortunately it's a moot point, as we have a
        government that properly decided that no-one will
        be voting my grain away to anyone.

          Good to see you agree we don't need another vote.
          Seems most of the name calling is coming from your
          posting. Reality is if the CWB can jury rig a vote to get
          the results it wants then the government should have
          the right to do the same thing.

            A man from our neighbourhood, he passed away nine years ago, got a ballot to vote in the plebisite.
