Condo developer to ship canola oil to China, Canada says

[bucket]

That's right move along folks nothing to see here.....

The canola oil deal just seems to have a certain bad taste to it.

Or maybe it's just my conspiracy theories on this government since they have fooled me too often.

Here is the current list.

1. Reduction in ag supports while the US increases theirs.

2. A complete **** up on rail service. BTW csx locomotives are on CP main lines.

3. A botched implementation of the open market.

4. I will include the CPP deal as they buy at a high only certain land? Why not anyone that offers to them? It's the people money being used. Tell a few union guys they now own farmland.

5. No open accounting of the new cwb. Ritz is hiding something by now releasing annual reports.

etc etc.

Correction.

5. By not releasing the annual reports.

1B in oil = how many T and how much per T of canola?

[wmoebis]

Of course we want to know farm gate figures.

Do you really think there is Govt money involved in era where trade rule and law are constantly scrutinized? No way.

Canola oil doesn't need any help for a sale. It sells itself.

The best thing to happen to canola oil is that Dr. Oz supported it over olive oil a couple weeks ago.

Then why are politicians involved?

They made no big deal out of the CPP buying farmland and the government is involved.

It's the optics.

[Braveheart]

Optics for whom? If you said CPP on the world stage they'd say who? what?

The optics of a govt delegation leading business people into a major consumer market, suddenly the world takes notice. Canada appears open for business.

As a canola producer I'm more interested in how much new business is this, and will it substantially add to dispositions.

Government involvement in these business dealings.

Interesting, we as farmers, are to have no government help but everyone between the farmgate and the enduser needs government help whether its something as simple as the introductions or the photo op for a new plant that never gets built.

Add that to my list of the open market crap.

6. Instead of building the pasta plant Katib gets on the CTA review????

Oh and BTW, since the government wants some PR about canola oil, how about buying canola based on oil content.

Seems like an easy thing to implement, right???

[bucket]

Government buying farmland sends a message of being open for business as well?????????

Wasn't that mother russia's plan????

[Braveheart]

Buy on oil content. Buy on dry matter so nuts out there quit adding water to canola before selling.
Don't whisper on the internet about it. Tell your canola orgs to lobby for it.

What did Katib do wrong to get punished by that appointment? Must have been real bad.
