Tom
I appreciate your passion and desire for change. I thank you for consistently sharing on this board. I know that you didn’t have to respond to my clarifying question. You were and are free to.
What may be obvious to you is not obvious to me. Each one of us sees things through our own eyes, our own bias, our own experiences. Our own fears.
Tom from your perspective you read that:
“Wayne Easter gives notice in the above admission... Quebec and Ontario are responsible for marketing their own wheat... even though the CWB applies to all of Canada. “
I didn’t read that. I read that farmers in western Canada, Quebec and Ontario had a choice as to their marketing systems. I don’t see that as meaning they are responsible for marketing their own wheat. That other legislation no longer applies to Ontario and Quebec.
I would have the following questions from the article.
Are these Mr. Easter’s words?
Did Mr. Anderson attack the institution or was he engaged in constructive criticism to help save the institution?
Does the CWB operate from a mandate of ensuring that western grain farmers receive the highest return from the marketplace possible
How is this premium determined? What does the CWB compare it to? (same questions as gregpet)
What are the lack-lustre financial results that Ontario farmers experienced?
Did Western Canadian farmers democratically decide their marketing model?
How does the conservative party respond?
What do the conservatives really want in regards to wheat marketing in Western Canada?
Does this kind of article even mean anything? Is it worth the time to respond to?
I guess I am just tired of rhetoric wherever it is coming from.
Thanks again for your post it encouraged me to read through the Canadian Wheat Board Act again.
