    Glad when this is all over

    I ,like many will be happy when c-18 has reached it's conclusion and life can return to a focus of more positive aspects of farming. While passage of the bill holds positives for my business, it may not for others. Reality is that there seemed no middle ground, so some will win and some will loose. I don't want to continue to argue. Neither side will win the argument nor convince the other. I firmly believe the strength of agriculture in Western Canada is built around the family farm and their ability to chart their own destiny. where we are headed will obviously test that theory.

    I agree,it's unfortunate that Canadians wish to
    expropriate the rights of other Canadians. The ends
    never justify the means. I admire the Harper
    government for doing what's right, in agriculture, in
    the Fire arms registry, and in the maintenance of
    Canadian culture against immigrants who come to
    this country and are determined to change this
    country to their mannerisms.
    These things require political courage. We have too
    many politicians who care only for buying votes and
    not at all for Canada.
    Doing the right thing is expensive, in this our time,
    and has always been the same. Those who stand on
    guard are to be commended, most go for the dollar.

            Stubble-jumper That's why it's time for
            this to end. Belittling those that don't
            think the same as we do should be
            beneath us all. There is no doubt we are
            different, have been brought up in a
            different circumstance and carry a
            different set of morals and principles.
            That does not make one right and one
            wrong just different. We should work
            together when we can but not be forced
            to work together when we can't.

              Good comments craig!! Although there is lots of middle ground, what I find disturbing is few people are willing to take afew steps toward middle ground and meet others there. Cottonpicken keeps talking about a solution, is anyone listening?

                All it would take is the 8 CWB idiots to make a peace offering which includes a voluntary board and many of us would put a little effort or at least care about Cotton's idea. The "going down in flames" by spending my money against me takes away any middle ground and right now I hope the CWB goes the way of the Doedoe bird. Why even talk about Cotton's idea if there is nothing left of the CWB. Until they move to a voluntary concept, there is no negotiation. Either we have property rights or we don't....there is no middle ground on that point.

                  It needs to be killed in order to rise again(?)

                  No middle ground between the two sides at all.

                  Until the board lovers pledge that our wheat is not their wheat, there will never be peace.

                  Until the board lovers admit that they do not need our good quality wheat to mix in with theirs, there will never be peace.

                  Until Manitoba wheat board lovers admit that they only produce 20% of the milling wheat in the da and they desperately need sask and alta wheat, there will never be peace.

                  Just admit that every farmer has a right to sell their grain to whoever they want and maybe we'll talk - someday.
