There goes our dual market for wheat/barley..

chuckChuck,

The citizens of Quebec... that respect Canada... and voted to have nationalist representitives are just as jilted as are western Canadians.

I am not surprised you agree with this abomination against democracy and private property rights... it is obviously your intent to take everything you can steal... with or without my permission.

God save our Queen;

God save Canada.

Tom I can understand you're steamed. But Canadian politics is about compromise. Harper brought this on himself. Minorities require finesse. If Canadians had wanted Harper to have more power they would have given him a majority. Harper is a hyper partisan who takes no prisoners. Personalities like Harpers don't make good politicians in the long term. Your next leader should have wider appeal and come from a central Canadian background to avoid this east west split. The votes that count are in Ontario and Quebec. It is the reality if you want to form a majority.

"Cluck chuck, supply management only works in an controled environment, it does not and will never function efficiently in grain production in western Canada".

My question for you is do you think it is ok for Harper to deny me the right from starting up a dairy, egg and chicken farm in W. Canada outside of supply management, and allow me to freely market my product directly to local customers?

Chuck Chuck, Harper suports supply management where it makes sense, the CWB makes no 'cents' in supply management - thats the point here that you brought up. Care to defend the logic here? Think about what you said, read what I wrote.

Grainbeetle,

If you buy quota... you can sell to anyone anywhere... even the man in the moon.

Supply management has a franchise... called a quota.

The CWB has a prohibited license... that stops trade. Nothing of value. A 'single desk' that has proven to depreciate our produce.

A HUGE difference... any way you choose to look at it!

One system gives a franchise... and respects private property rights contained in it...

The CWB depreciates our produce... and takes away our private property rights.

Grainbeetle,

If you own quota... don't price discount and sell for less than your cost of production... (you know... like the CWB does)... or other countries will countervail you!
