This video should spark some debate.

Is that business is done in the real world?

NOT DIRECTLY...which means in Government doubletalk...NO.

So the CWB was GIVEN AWAY to friends of the government for some intangible return in what?...service?, goodwill?. future market expansion?...available storage?...pie in the sky advantage?...I guess we'll never know.

What a bunch!

Sooooo, I guess it was worthless according to what they received for it. Everybody, on both sides of the debate, should be asking questions.

Something smells rotten about this....

farmaholic: There's something rotten in Denmark and it ain't Limburger cheese either.

Seems like our esteemed Ag Minister is a bit evasive when questioned.

Ritz said that g3 did not write a cheque.

It was given away.

Well I guess it takes a bullshit artist to deal with a pile of shit. Everything about this deal smells from the "asset" to the money and everything in between.
And the NDP would have floundered around with the old system putting lipstick on a pig. There's a difference between doing shitty deals involving shit , and being full of shit.

I guess those dyed in the wool supporters are waiting for their speaking notes or hymn sheets.

Surely there had to be some value.

What about the patronage allocated to those who sold through the new CWB, how will it be handled? Did they just get something for nothing for marketing through them? Will it be deemed worthless as well and morph into something like Viterra.

Show me the money, this tractor weary farmer is bewildered(doesn't take much at the best of times).
