There goes our dual market for wheat/barley..

[lesm]

Irregardless of how the CWB elections turn out, Ralph will appoint 5 socialist/seperatists to the CWB BOD and again nothing will change. So much for democracy! God, how I despise this whole system.

[parsley]

I wonder les, if we approached the provincial governerment to set up a Saskatchewan Wheat Marketing Board designed like Ontario's. Should work.

Another crazy idea us farmers are not used to doing would be to have rotating pickets for the ones that do not want the CWB monopoly. Like any other union we should be asked (carefull not to say forced) to walk the streets holding signs.
Would be an attention grabber.

Lesm and Parsley,
So why did you vote for or otherwise support a socialist like Harper who supports supply mangement marketing boards protected by tarrifs on imports from the world market? This is the type of state intervention of which you continually criticize when it comes to the CWB. Obviously you must be socialists!

[silverback]

Another twisted, petty, deluded statement from "chuck".

How to show your true moral character.

[furrowtickler]

Cluck chuck, supply management only works in an controled environment, it does not and will never function efficiently in grain production in western Canada. Theory - CWB may work - reality it does not serve it's purpose. Just watch the PRO's as 09 roles on.

[Choice2U]

OK Chuck....I'll stoop to the same level of stupidity. If you're in favour of supply management, why do you hate harper who as you so elequently put it, is in favor of supply management?

[Fransisco]

It's obvious Chuck is a Conservative!

[chuckChuck]

I didn't say anything about supply mangement working for western grain did I? I Just wanted to point out Harper will do anything to gain and keep power including supporting socialist state interventionist policies like supply management if it ensure votes in Quebec and Ontario.

Not to mention it was Harper who voted in favour of Quebec having nation status in the last parliament. Harper was trying to court the "devil" so to speak.

Further how can the Harperites call the proposed coalition a deal with the "devil" when Harper was presenting that option to the GG in 2004 when Martin's minority government was at risk?

Go ahead, call our fellow French Canadian citizens devils if you want, just don't count on them voting Conservative any time soon. Another glaring example of Harper's stupidity when it comes to electoral strategy.

[Fransisco]

The difference is that Harper never actually made a deal with separatists to replace Martin with a conservative- separatist coalition. Dion and company did.

Martin got beat fair and square, not through the back door.
