    Voter Apathy

    Sask Canola, 1159 ballots.... 1132 online, 27 paper.

    WOW, yet they say a 35% increase over 2016 election.

    I can imagine how many eligible Sask canola growers there would have been.

    Hardly a resounding validation of any sort...is that any kind of mandate?

      Ask for your check off back, and you won't be bothered by that little detail.

      Federal government, are you listening to my offer to you?

        Why bother voting all of the people who are on these boards are wasting their time. We need one united voice to speak on behalf of grain farmers in western Canada. There are too many of these boards all lobbying for something different which plays right into the politicians hands. Millions of our checkoff dollars wasted.
