Canadians trust farmers.
Dandy.

Let's tell the public what we think of the CWB!

Set a $ figure per farmer

An ad campaign.

Continuous.

Ordinary people
Explaining extraordinary frustration

Day after day.
Farmer after farmer.
One farmer at a time.
7 days a week
52 weeks

The public will believe farmers. The compulsed-cloister ends up disbelievable.

mmmmh.... funny, those top occupations are all highly government controlled, and have the most powerful unions. Is Parsley suggesting the same for farmers?

**wilagro** · Jun 12, 2008, 22:23

Farmers are notorious for being independent and for NOT joining Unions no matter how much good that this would do them in their marketing, buying power or influence.

Grain Beetle,

Call it whatever if you want, as long as it's voluntary.

If it's voumntary, it's legitimate.

If you are having compulsory-urge thoughts, pack it bit by bit into your nostril until your nose bleeds.

It might clear out some of those jailing and force thoughts that you enjoy so much, right out of your head.

My off farm job lets me talk to many tradespeople and I explain to them the farm issues. They listen in disbelief the way we are imprisoned.

A farmer union is illegal in western canada however with high prices for non board grain farmers might make money and force the cwb to come to the table with some realistic prices for our high quality grain.

Parsley - that is a great idea. Maybe if APAS had a backbone they could put farmer vignettes on radio or tv from real farmers and present both sides and let the public push the government for freedom. Waiting a year and a half for our final paycheques would certainly wake the public up. This would be the time to get the public support behind us and getting them to ask why prices for food are so high - why can't farmers make money?

I hate unions, But which farmers in the world have it the best. Probably the French farmers. They have one heck of a strong union. One voice and they get action. Here its concur and divide.
Works every time.

Best venue?

1. TV, radio , internet page or news papers?

2. $$$/farmer?

APAS....You have got to be kicking!

You just want to chase dollars wilagro, and nothing else matters to you. If you force, jail, or hogtie, it's fine with you as long as you get your bag of loot in the end.

Nice life philosophy. Where did you pick it up...at the dumpster?
