A new "designated area" grain marketing system.

[TOM4CWB]

Charlie;

I couldn't agree more... that grain growers and market forces should drive the development of the "new" system.

Western Canadian grain growers are burdened by one of the highest cost tax and regulatory systems globally.

We pay enough tax through the inputs on our farms... that it is only reasonable to credit back a fair portion that the feds and provinces taken... and give us individually the opportunity to buy back some of the assets that have taken from us over the past 10 years.

charliep,

The role of Government has a 50 year track record.

Can we learn from it?

I would hope so.

I am consistent, charliep.

I do not want more of the same. No matter the Government, the result has been consistent...everyone makes money but the farmer. Farmers cannot afford it.

So any Government, even the Green Party focused on replanning, meeting, designing, discussing, promoting, writing, data-entering, navel-gazing, or dictating a new vision like Tom4CWB has presented, has but one rut to follow. Intentions might be honorable, but they are misguided.

Central planning cannot birth a free market. Memorize it.

Of course it can Parsley.Somebody must have 'planned' to give the prairies away to ahalf million farm families.

That created amarket.Unfurtunately,somebody else'planned'to steal all the grain in 1943 after the work was all done bringing the land into production.

But to be fair,a market is not the absence of GOVT but the proper function of govt.Property,justice,freedom of trade.The protection of life and liberty all require a'right size' of govt.

The cwb is the use of these powers to take rights AWAY.

winwin, You leave me speechless.

We actually agree.
