Who is he? He's a guy who floated his writing career supporting the CWB and now has nothing to write about. His work was always poorly researched and in my opinion written in a pedestrian manner and usually read like the CWB's propaganda department had written it for him.

He currently has 50 readers, which is 49 more than Allan Dawson of the Manitoba Cooperator.

If the ndp would have got in federally maybe. But liberals have stated the ship has sailed.
Idiots if they would recognize and. Focus on fixing the fx mess the grain trade is in as a whole all the corruption within it. They would gain some credibility but the idea of going back to fix these problems with somethjng that wasn't working either is just dumb for our sake and their own.

Can remember when Johnstone was critical of Liberal Ag minister Van Clief for lack of sympathy for grain farmers who had seeded into dust and lack of reserve moisture.
Later, Johnstone seemed very pallsey wallsey with Ralph Goodale when he was minister in charge of wheat board and fought to save it.
Johnstone never seemed to get over the fate of the board.

I'm guessing Johnstone is paid by the amount of articles he writes for a struggling newspaper.

It appears there is also an error in the article as it quotes Claude Mongeau from 2004 (quessing should read 2014).....which surprise surprise even though he will never accept any responsibility himself the CEO of CN blames the grain companies.

Johnstone should buy a farm and just see how nice it is to wait 18 months for half of the money he should get.

They should just implement it to his wage for 2 years and then compare a reporter wage in the Ukraine.

That might shut him up.

When he is looking for his off paper second job he might understand.

Property confiscation doesn't belong in a liberal democracy and never did. The mythical "premiums" never existed and the only market power the _ _ _ had was over the farmers forced to sell to them.

Never again.
