And how does this relate to "commodity marketing"??? Perhaps we need a "Politics" forum.

Wilagro, I think a politics forum would be a good idea. Trouble is, 80% of the posts - well maybe a slight exageration - on this forum would disappear.

How about if we just leave the number of MPs alone for a couple of elections so voters don't have to get used to their ridings being adjusted all the time? The riding I'm in just got adjusted so it makes some sense for the first time in at least 20 years, first federally, then provincially. How many MPs do we need at the trough?

dalek,

I like the way you think...there is enough high paid, do nothing, politicians out there now.

Can anyone find the source document for this? Lost off the fourwinds10.com.

Thanks

Wilagro, if you and your CWB buddies would agree to take politics (CWB legislation) out of the wheat and barley business, I guarantee you there'd be no politics in a "marketing forum" such as this. We could then all participate in good discussions about information and strategies to maximize wheat and barley returns on our farms.

But as long as politically driven organizations like the CWB force themselves into my business plans, I'm forced to talk about politics. And believe me, it's not because I enjoy it. It's because of their dismal performance in the marketplace, their excessive operating costs, their arbitrary pricing practices and their lack of accountability. It’s also because some of us recognize the stifling effect of hyper-regulation in wheat and barley, and what that does when it comes to attracting new investment or new technology to that sector of the industry.

Look forward to continued argument, political conflict, and discord as long as the CWB monopoly is around.
