Looks like opportunity for Captain Tom Jackson.

cool that someone on here was able to wander over take a look ad report back, no one comment yet on the cargo "our" ship is hauling, iron ore.

[mcfarms]

suppose it might be inbound not out bound.

[dalek]

The ore was headed for Hamilton

Stonepicker, I agree completely... one look at the CWB history for a moment...

Especially amazing... since Minister Ritz specifically told the CWB Board of Directors... to N O T buy those ships. In the end... this was the final straw... that forced the government to remove the CWB farmer elected Board of Directors... and the single desk.

I seem to remember reading that way back that they would haul ore in bound and grain out,

Google Captain Tractor songs and Pirates of Saskatchewan.

So why hasnt ritz sold them? Because they were a good deal and would make money.

[sumdumguy]

Who paid for the ships? Did it come out of farmer pool? Just asking?

They were a good deal for Paul Martin.

And that's probably why they haven't been sold yet.
