Farmers favour single desk!

[chuckChuck]

Democracy has prevailed in the CWB Directors election. Farmers have again clearly shown they support single desk selling and have rejected any moves by Harper to destroy the CWB. So much for the Conservatives assertion they represent the wishes of the majority of western farmers on this issue. Harper's judgement and credibility on this and many other issues is in serious question.

chuckChuck;

Just like in every other Director's election the CWB holds... since 1998... same rules... same result.

Proof... once again... Goodale's revenge is alive and well... being the largest single expense... on our farm... in 2008... AGAIN. 15 years straight.

district 2 wants out so **** off

[agstar77]

Since when did offensive language become acceptable on this forum?

[vvalk]

when the system is set up so that 36% of the production controls 87% of the vote. Why are we surprised at the outcome. Unless we get a voting system where the majority of the vote has to represent 50% of the production, we will just spin our wheels.

What it says is that farmers west of the sask border don't want to have a gun held to their head (or their hand held) telling them how to market their own grain.

So much for "democracy" when the majority vote to take away the freedom of the minority.

And I see no reason why District # 2 cannot secede as did creston-Wyndell.

No fuss. No expense. No brainer.

I finally got on th site!

Walk,
So are you also proposing the vote for your local RM or County rep. be based on the number of acres you farm? I would like to see you bring that up at your next local meeting! And once you win that little cherry, why don't you just go on and propose that in the next federal election that voting power be based on the amount of your income. Because that is in effect what you are proposing when you bring up weighted voting for the CWB.
