Silent socialists

[grrrr]

I met a little old lady in a mall in Regina last weekend. We were sitting on a bench. I was waiting for my wife, she, for her daughter. My guess was she was mid 80's. She saw my J.D. cap and we started talking farming. Her husband passed away 17 years ago but she still owned "a half section of the best damn land in the world" just out of Moose Jaw. After we went our separate ways I got to thinking. She is the one who has been cancelling my vote all these years!

If your objective is spending money on verification and maintenance records of acres and bushels, by all means make that a part of your government appeal.

I've kept my message simple for the agriculture minister. You have the authority to order the CWB to issue no buy back export licences for wheat and barley.

Everything else (if he would just get on with it) will take care of itself.

I fully agree with you checking.

Once farmers are no longer captive suppliers to this system, all the attitudes will change. The CWB will negotiate in good faith, elections will be about ability, and the grain trade, who benefit from the captive supplies, will lobby for a working system rather than a continuation of the status quo. And, the Conservatives will have honored their committment.
