Can anyone put names to any of these faces?

Well I can't remember without research, what would our freight be today, east and west, and was this on all commodities? Actually I think the rate was equal across the prairies and AB killed it for th advantage of lower rates compared to Sk! do we even know our current rate? Or is it in the "blessed basis"?

We were $1.65/bu total deductions at the end of the CWB days

That 1.65 was long after the crow was gone.
At scott sask .it was probably95-1.10 for freight . And 50. -65 cents for everything else.

And I googled pretty hard to find the specific rates for different years way back .
Read a lot
But no luck.
I am sure they are somewhere.
Just not smart enough to find them.

Like all socialist meddling it was removed wrong, I'll give you that.

[shtferbrains]

Could be totally off base .
Was it 13$/ton or 13 Cents /bushel.
Google I guess.
The guy with the cowboy hat in the middle . Maybe looks like someone I know.
When I think who may have been there.
A longshot.

Isn't that Larry Weber in that jaunty hat?

I find it odd that some of you blame socialists for everything.
Odder yet since socialists have never been in power federally
In this country.
It is either liberals or conservatives and in sask they are virtually interchangeable. With a new name every ten years.
Liberals are hardly socialist.
They sold off CN .
Both parties have big business connections.
Why do you think. You never got grain market
Transparency . When that was supposed to be the whole idea.
And the liberals will not fix it either.
Both work for the same boss.
So the boss always wins no matter who gets elected.

And yet socialists get the blame.

Great system if you are Cp Cn Bayer Richardson, a Bromfmon
Or a Galen Weston.

What other adjective would you use to describe the Crow or the CWB??
Absolutely agree huge opportunities were lost in the way they were removed.
But they had to go.

[sawfly1]

Originally the crow was a handout to the railroads.
And they agreed to the deal.
Then somebody realized perpetuity
Was a long time.
And they never gave back the stuff they got in the first place.

So No quite socialism.

We let them out of the deal and
They have been giving us the finger ever since.
They keep saying more more more.
