    Andy should be publicly honored when we have
    a Market Freedom celebration.

    His personal action turned the tide of thinking in
    Canada; turning it against a Govt institution who
    jailed farmers for trying to sell what they grew.

    And the CWB and its' Minister Ralph Goodale,
    own that moment in time. Paraley

      Wow. Never thought about how pivotal Mr.
      McMechans stand was for where we are today. My
      only bitch about the CWB always was the basic
      freedom to do what you want with your own
      property.
      Mr McMechan took that to a whole new level and
      for that i hope to some day thank him personally
      for that and apologize as a citizen of this great
      country for the treatment he recieved.
      It also makes me realize what a whole new level
      Oberg and directors have sunk too on this basic
      right to freedom in Canada.
      None of my business buit what ever happened to
      Mr. McMechan?

        Farming. When he was in jail, I'd write a limerick
        every day and send to his wife and kids so when
        they went to see him in jail, he'd know he was
        not forgotten.

        I would like to see Andy honored when we have
        a Market Freedom party. Maybe we could each
        throw some money in a pot and send Pam and
        Andy to a warm island for a week.

        Henever wavered. Pars

          There are, IMHO, a nest of CEB employees
          who, IMHO, hatched Andy's fate, which is why I
          want them nowhere near farmers, ever again.

              Yes Parsley, he should be honored, and thank
              you for always remembering the valour.

                Actually those goons did us a favour, LOL

                See behind every dark cloud there is a silver
                lining.

                  Andy McMechan was jailed for more than just wanting to sell his wheat. Research will reveal all.

                    Some day they may jail Oberg and company but at
                    least that would be for valid reasons theft and
                    corruption come to mind because you can't jail anyone
                    for ignorance and stupidity.
