gov't looking for wind up audit costs

[wd9]

Probably would not happen silver as those 7 know what board governance is and let the chair speak for the board. No one ever wins, least of all the corporation, when rogue directors speak their own personal views. Ugly.

Yes, well, to sit on your hands while the CWB bought ships was not in the interest of farmers.

There can be a stark difference between the interest of the corporation vs the interest of farmers.

Farmers essentially have had NO say how their money is spent except for one elected voice, who, it appears, has a keen interest in his pay, pension and perks. In other words, the status quo.

The old herd mentality gone amiss is so irresistible isn't it, in the name of solidarity, puke, puke: the property-smashing mob in Vancouver differs little from the economic-smashing mob at the CWB.

Somebody has to pay the bills, don't they.

Both directormob and youthmob are indefensible.

You are likely right Tom. But what about the railroads and the grain companies? I don't think they are under a gag order.

I would like to hear, in a "public meeting" such as the CWB did, what they have been telling the Gov't how they will make it better under an open system. Farmers should be the ones hearing first hand how it will improve, Not the gov't. It is our lively hood not thiers.

I went to the CWB meeting and would also go to RR and every grain co's meeting. Public info from BOD from both sides is good. So far we have a one sided debate and a bunch of propaganda.

I'm not sure if things will be better Wmoebis but
at least when Theres a problem or dispute we
can share the costs with the railroad and grain
cos shareholders instead of being the only one
paying . It may help settle the disputes alot
quicker if farmers don't get stuck with the whole
cost. In a recurring dream a large grain company
will take CN and CP out behind the legal
woodshed and teach them a lesson in reality us
farmers will still get screwed. Oh well still good to
dream .

But Parsely, isn't that why you elect a board?

[parsley]

The appointed directors work in the government's best interest. The CEO works to meet payroll and staffing probs and meet goals and deadlines. The elected directors supposedly work on behalf of farmers.

And thus they should report directly to farmers. And speak to them. And account to them.

The CWB has a hybrid makeup. Not the same as a private corp.Please note there is a difference. Pars
