Listening to the news this am and recapping what went on in the legislature, it was clear that Ralph was not getting the picture. Following an invitation by Brian Mason to join him at a meeting in Vegreville, Ralph stated that no way would he follow Brian to a set up situation. He said that he had been to meetings all around Alberta represented by all sectors of the beef industry and he had heard "not one complaint about the governments aid program". Just praise.
Apparently, there are too many layers of rose-coloured glasses between Ralph and the real situation. It seems to me we need to send him some of the stories that have appeared on this forum plus a few more. Every farmer, grain included, should take this opportunity to let Ralph know how much they have benefited from the government money. Somehow, we have to speak for ourselves and not through organizations that propose to speak for us as they seem to be telling somebody else's story.
