Year in review...

[TOM4CWB]

Hopper,

The CWB and CGC have made WAY more out of the CWRS/DNS differences than the mills/bakers do.

Biggest attraction to Cdn 'designated area' wheat was 'free' storage!

I almost forgat about the CWB's willie N pluckin strings and screetching away in that Video HAhAhahahahahah. Hey Burbot does that guy have a room beside you at the "home" ??

I still think we should be looking for a North American solution.

This would help in the transportation logistics. I find it hard to believe because of the 49th parallel(an imaginary line) that the quality of DNS is much different than CWRS.

And who's kidding who, the cwb sells based on falling numbers - its the international standard - not the color.

Bucket,

ICE wheat durum and barley will all be aimed at the 'northern plain' area... the 49th will eventually mean nothing... just as it is in reality for Canola etc.

Blackpowder,

I just muse how the so so proud federal ND's, Bloc, and Liberals all ARROGANTLY brought down the Conservatives...tHAT then, in turn, all 3 leaders, from one removal form or another; had their top guys removed. Even CWB ExChair Oberg and the seven 'single minded' Directors that were so arrogant and proud at the begining of the year... were removed.

Internationally how Canada; is truly the envy of all democratic nations for being well governed!

2011 was truly a year of blessings!

Have you read Peter C Newmans latest book on the subject?
I've flipped through it but didn't buy. 2 things- I think the Libs started a decline a generation ago.
Secondly, I don't understand just who the heck P.C. Newman thinks he is!!
