Wpg rally

[charliep]

By our generation, who are you refering to?

If baby boomers, you are right. We (I am there) have been the most priveleged world inhabitants in the history of this planet.

My first house was $45,000 - about 150 % of my salary although interest 15 % (just avoided the 20 %).

A 30 year today is likely paying $300,000 or more for a house - likely 4 to 6 times the salary. Interest rates low but at risk of increasing (can't go lower).

Not farm examples I know. Making a farm example and comparing where you started from in your business to today, could you have started your farming career in the current world?

To the rally, how many new commercial farmers were there? Does the current system make it easier or harder for a new farmer to grow their business?

Iron curtains, Berlin Wall's and Designated Areas, deserve to be torn down. IMHO

Mustard said, "Your side has a hard time organizing a two car parade."

Yet somehow we got our guy elected Prime Minister. LOL

What, not even a Jets game for rallying day?

No Board imagination! They should have provided the team with congealed strawberry packs to be used as practice pucks, instead of yearly recycling them at their Brandon show breakfast. Inscribed each one with "Save our CWB" and have encouraged the players to shoot them over the boards into the fan seats for publicity purposes.

Jets wouldn't do it, you say. Well, toss them from the seats onto the ice, and hope the players know what to do with them.

Rallies are so old school that always risk that supporters will not show up. Tends to go off message when days later the organizers are still explaining why no one showed.

[buzz]

Should have called it OCCUPY CWB and more people with nothing else to do would have showed.

Mustardman, you said, "Everything our fathers and grandfathers have fought for is being torn down". My grandfather fought the Germans at Vimy Ridge in the Great War. He fought for freedom.

It was fighting Germans again in ww2 that caused the creation of the CWB. I'd say we're tearing down more of the legacy of tyranny. We're taking back freedom.

Don't try to bring ancestors or veterans into this discussion in the way that you are. It's disgraceful.

Braveheart With a Handle like I thought You were at Vimy Ridge

Franny Yes you put in such a big effort to Mark an X in an election, something many of you didn't know to do in a plebicite

[Fransisco]

And by "plebiscite" you of course mean rigged survey.

How's that rigged survey working out for you by the way? Oh yeah, thats right its in Lead Zepplin category. LOL

[Fransisco]
