Left-wing radicals/ Stewart Wells & CWB

[TOM4CWB]

Tipsy,

The Conservatives tried to ammend the election system... ever so moderately...

And Goodale shot that apart. The CWB had made many of the suggestions which were to be implemented.

This farce of a system lands squarely in the lap of Goodale. He made it... protected it... and is attempting to make the CWB Directors even less accountable to the Legislation.

The CWB is not a commercial business.

The CWB IS 100% a result of the CWB Act... and according to the CWB itself would be gone in a mili-second... IF the CWB Act were revolked.

What does this tell us?

The CWB is not commercially responsible... does not work for farmers who commercially grow the grain it markets... it is there for food security and to control domestic feed grain prices. Just like the Russian system.

Goodale is the Left wing radical... Stewart Wells does not hold a candle to him!!!

The cwb isn't undercuting anyone?

Really, taking fusarium infested feed wheat and blending it with my number one. Paying their beloved manitoba boys a premium to a two from a feed.

While others wait for an interim.

No undercutting - just vote buying for those with sons/daughters working at a government run socialist organization.

I don't disagree with any of the things you pointed out. Yes there is lots wrong with the cwb, African/Indian reserve/banana republic type election's that was forced on 12-13 years ago. That was then, now is now.
When the conservatives took over from the reform party one of their party policies was cwb reform. Btw a policy that a majority of the active producers in western Canada believe in and support.
Now comes the present day problem. When the conservatives got their first minority government, Harper promised election reform in his very first throne (parliament not bathroom) speech. With election reform being agreed upon by the industry including the cwb themselves. Why has this government not brought these reforms forward. Why do they continue to fumble and fail on this cwb issue? Why do they wish to deny western Canadian producers the same rights other Canadians have? Why do they wish to see us handcuffed and shackled? Why do they wish to continue to see your farm, my farm and other farms that want market freedom continue to lose thousands if not 10's of thousand of dollars each and every year? Why why why... The best time for action was 4 years ago the next best time is NOW! And its not happening. That's today's problem.........

Tipsy, Tipsy, your getting real close to negative territory here especially bringing up a real actual important fact that no one wants to accept or allow to be talked about. My "silly" opinion is that they need it to be the topic because with that issue gone, they'd have to actually deal with the demolishing of the cattle, and problems in grain industries. They want fewer farmers so it's all going to plan. What is worse those that support that ridiculous outfit, or those that play us and in those years we paid dearly for it? But on a positive note I see the sun is out, but rain and snow for thursday.

Riders2010 - you make a strong point. Why bring
resolution to an issue when in fact you can milk
support by keeping the status-quo? And you make
another good point. Completing this file would
open the door to dealing with other serious and
maybe unsolvable problems down the road. For
political reasons, I suspect Harper is hoping the gun
registry bill fails, because, after all, if it passed,
what new passionate debate would be left to fill the
void and bring in easy votes? Tipsy, the answer to
your question is simple - Quebec - where Harper
needs seats to get the ever so distant 'majority'. A
move on the CWB would be taken as an assault on
supply management overall - the holy grail of
Quebec agri politics. Too easy, isn't it?
