Gee The government won't listen

[craig]

For those on the left wing democracy kick. Do you think the Liberals ever listened to our views when lobby groups travelled to Ottawa. Amazing how schedules get full when your in town. Do you think the board ever listens to my director or my past director on the CWB board. To marginalize someone who doesn't share your point of view has been brought to a new level under farmer board rule. We have a meeting in my area but gee we should spent producer money and fly in directors from out of province because we need to get the right message across. The CWB has mastered the art of only listening to it's friends, of telling you as a producer what is right for you and if need be spending whatever it took to get the job done. So now you are looking for sympathy because the government won't listen to you and all your retired friends. The single desk and forced participation has meant you have long since lost the ability to listen and serve all producers. You have insisted that this is a black and white issue. You are getting everything you deserve.

Good points craig

But after watching the news and cpac on the cwb issue it would be hard for the government to listen to the cwb directors when they were all smelling goodale and bobby rae's farts at a media scrum.

Good points Craig. I attended the meeting at camrose hoping that there would be discussion on the voluntary CWB on a go forward basis. As it turned out it was the same old defeatist crap. The only way Jeff was allowed near the microphone was when he was asked a specific question. To Jeff's credit he has handled himself very well and when we are done with this in a few years history will show that he was the one who approached the future of the CWB from a positive and progressive point of view. I would like to see Ritz appoint him as one of the 5 directors who will carry this forward.

Why would anybody want to deal with a voluntary CWB, run by party hacks, with the purpose of making it look bad. It's an all or nothing proposition. The Cons never had any intention of letting any kind of CWB survive. Ritz misled everyone , when he talked about a strong and viable CWB.. Why would you deal with a small grain company without facilities?

[blackpowder]

Couldn't agree more.
My whole career, a few simple questions have always been ignored.

[blackpowder]

just read agstar:
so when have any changes been discussed?.........

[agstar77]

What part of the fix is in , do you not understand?

[blackpowder]

Oh for heavens sake the 'fix' has been in for a couple years now as far as current intentions are concerned. When did you wake up?

[gregpet]

I deal with brokers quite often that only have an office. Whats the problem with that agstar?

[agstar77]

Just a simple question, why won't the government listen to shippers about railway service and monopoly as well as they listen to the right wing whiners about selling?
