    Politics aside, do you see the logical disconnect
    here?

    <i>"I suspect these folks can't get past supporting
    their Tory masters even if they are stealing their
    land from them."</i>

    Land is property....<b>and so is wheat.</b>

      Politics and property correlation will hit home when the economy really tanks, and all governments surf the taxable horizon, and upon finding it both bare as well as electorally unfriendly, they will confiscate farmland, and use it as a payment option for compensatory obligations they legally need to fulfill.

      They'll target the tax-arrears land first.

      Neighbors will watch.

      Farmers will talk.

      And moan a bit. Politely of course.

      And watch.

        What farmers need to make note of, is that Conservatives do not always govern or legislate conservatively.

        In the case of Alberta property rights, the Conservative government is Communist.

        Doing and saying nothing means approving of it. Pars

            Let's face it, most Comedians are loyalists. They love their Queen, Prince and Princesses. Most Comedians are ready, willing and able to give there all, land, home and family to the Crown at any given moment in history. We love the Queen, hence cud care less about our own well being. Load it on English royalty we love it and are up to the challenges............

              Does no one else find it ironic that the same people who been defending the trampling property rights under the CWB act are criticising the Alberta Tories for doing EXACTLY the same thing.

              It looks very much like a case of their property rights are sacred, but yours don’t matter.

              Property rights should be defended, no matter who is trying to take them away.

                I had the feeling that some folks wanted the Government to step in and protect us from the big and greedy corporations.

                Who would have ever thought that maybe we had to watch out for big greedy governments - and their agencies?

                  Silverback - it didn't occur to you that it might still be the big greedy corporations driving this? Have I had my 5 seconds of fame and this is now going to descend into a p#^#^$ match about the CWB. How predictable - at least Parsley seems to grasp the significance of the problem. Still waiting to hear TOM4CWB's response.

                    I'm gonna get a lassoo and tie silver and grassy together overnite and let them tussle away like a pair of old stupid bulls usually do, and by tiommorow morning they'll both be fighting for property rights for their farms.

                    In the meantime, I'm tuned into UFC
