    Transparency

    Antares is a large logistics player in SA.

    They generate a report every 4 days of where all their ships are, what cargoes are loaded on them, and for what companies. Along with ETA...

    "Bunkers" (storage) available at ports along with the cost per day in A$R (divide by 15 for CAD).

    I must have misunderstood the free market concept as that's what I thought was part of the program transparency freedom more markets new rules. Me thinks some are missing .

      Yes I thought transparency was the no brainer part of the open market Yerry started.....apparently I was wrong. ...

      It's done in the states to avoid international grain theft....in Canada no one in power gives a shit....

        I think the CDN government should buy the port of Churchill and the line servicing the port and run it like a business renting out space to farmers or small grain companies. Would be worth it just as a check and balance and I dont think they would lose money doing it.

              the ostrich farmer didn't know what an open market was, the families wrote the play book for him.

                Why not Saskatchewan,Alberta, and Manitoba farmers buy the port of Churchill?

                43K in Saskatchewan
                50K in Alberta
                19K in Manitoba

                112,000 farmers at 5k each

                560,000,000 Yes.
                A business option staring at us.

                  How are your cat herding skills? lol. The mindset of "better on our own" "our neighbour is our competitor" and all the anti-collective rhetoric stemming from the CWB era will prevent things like this from happening for another generation at least, maybe two in my opinion. Unfortunate because they need to happen.
