It is a surprise to me that the government has their paws in this as deep as they seem to! Since the new gen coops are designed for the producer, and you can bet each of these new groups has gone to the government why they wouldn't have them all working in the same direction. It seems like a divide and conquer strategy for the government!

Whoever brings out the most grandiose plan will probably get the government backing! Alberta Tories like "big"? No time to be bothered with the little guys even though it might make more sense? In fact it almost seems they do everything to discourage the small entrepreneur? Maybe they don't want any real competition to their big buddies?
Well they have a pretty poor track record at picking winners and I suspect you can bet they'll continue that dreary record?

Cowman: your getting cynical, are you sure you haven't been getting bottled water out of Sask.

cynical perhaps, but not fundimentally incorrect. The entire basis of politics is to appeal to the masses, and if there is a plan that is turnkey, supported by corporates that are less likely to allow it to fail, and reads well in three paragraphs or less on a front page daily, it is going to get the attention needed. We can fault gov. for not representing the average producer, but we can also fault the plan for not appealing to the gov. my opinion of course, and I may very well be cynical... but I prefer to call it... realistic
