CWB got a sale to Saudi Arabia

SF3 - nothing is ever that simple! Despite the polls, they are a long way off from a majority, and piano solos just aren't enough! Politics aside, this is the best governance we've had in a long time. Although I am very much bothered by the roundabout by Harper from his days with the NCC and his Masters Thesis on deficits. Call me a Libertarian socialist - the new wave!!! Lol!. And what are you???

Yea rock-pile it is that simple the Liberals and NDP would try to save this so till a majority we are stuck with it. More and more supporters of CWB pass on each year and we are getting close. Once the Cons get a majority its a strait forward vote and gone. Gone gone. That will be a great thanksgiving that I will even be happy with.

Bucket and JD, I agree with you, the feds want to keep an arms length from this file, because the long term financial consequences are alarming, and because every new political movement has been born out of the west. The new cons are now the new establishment, spending money in vote rich areas. You've been dumped, enjoy the status-quo, Ontario is much more important than Swift Current. Stop building walls, put your energies into creating commonalities. The more I look at it, the more it appears that the 'right' tries to win by creating fear and divisions. My patience is running out, I want to hear how everone is prepared to pull their differences in and start working together. That is how they won WW11, by the way.
Cheers, Rockpile

Best line of the year:

"The more I look at it, the more it appears that the 'right' tries to win by creating fear and divisions."

Rockpile: I have no idea how long you have been studying the CWB.

Google:

Lorne Hehn
Esmund Jarvis
Butch Harder
Nettie Wiebe
any NFU member
any "left" CWB Director
any "left" CWB Advisory Committee member

Then start a new post called fear and division documenting what you have found. I would do it for you - but think it would be time well wasted.

Rockpile are you trying to put lipstick on a pig and then tell me how hot she looks??? I am confused... a pig is a pig is a pig where I'm from

The CWB has to go. The only person that knows at what price my wheat or barley should be sold at is myself.

Rockpile it is obvious that you are the one that "just dosen't get it". With comments like yours it is clear you truly dont know the difference between the "right and the left". Take a look in the mirror and ask yourself what kind of a man would be willing to use force to make his neighbor comply with his own dillusional ideals. After that feel free to "lol" to yourself all you like if it will ease your conscience.

Lweber, you could definetly add Bill Toews. That guy is a Butch Harder clone.

Folks, calm down and chill. All I asked is for you all is to make a conclusive decision - I'm not defending the CWB. Work to get on the same page, whatever that page is. Don't crap on me just for asking tough questions. One final thought though, if the CWB is gone, who will you blame next? I just put this all into the global context of all producers - hogs, cows, whatever, and it just seems that whatever the route, the primary producer gets the short end of the stick. So look past the CWB, what is your strategy that will change things? Again, this has nothing to do with defending the CWB, it is only asking how you enhance the position of the fellow on the bottom wrung? This questioning goes beyond wheat, it also includes canola, flax, mustard,etc. Get off your friggin ideoligical horses and start seeking global solutions. Like empowering primary producers to take control of their own destinies. Does this concept scare you that much that you would rather attack the messanger than the message. If so, then you have sewn your own destiny and I am beginning to understand the desparation of so many of the postings on this site. We all lose, don't we?
