I think the message in Brenda's article on China should make the CWB think for a few minutes.
The normal flow of trade and commerce should mean that China pays the same for grain as Canadians.
This is a must for Western Canadian Farmers to receive a fair price for their grain.
While the Chinese demand is in the market place, we get better prices for next fall, and this stabilizes the market.
The CWB's idea of price discrimination only hurts Western Canadian Farmers!
I can only imagine that a CWB PRO on Canola would be about $5.22/bu (Crop Insurance numbers for Alberta for next year) or $230/t or $50/t below what I just locked in a majority of my crop in at.
Can you imagine what August 1, 2001 markets would be like if the CWB initial was announced at $160/t?
Wouldn't that in itself be enough to cause a depression in Western Canada?
