Cwb wants farmer vote.

[samhill]

Tom4CWB: Thnak you for your answer.
I disagree. The purpose of law is to protect
citizens, otherwise no justice. The law can say all
citizens are subject, but only redheads will pay
taxes. A gov't agency will decide if you have red
hair or not. When a designation is made to
separate some citizens , then
it's discrimination. Or are you saying all Canadian
wheat growers have to sell to the CWB, I think not.
Arguments over interpretation (semantics) don't
make it just. Those with the power may use the
power to their advantage. Corporations are
sociopathic and very skilled at rationalizing their
agenda. Sorry, trying to be brief.

you board lovers feel free to go right ahead and set up your own mandatory marketing board just like we are under now. That should keep you happy.

We don't need fighter jets, just strap a couple fireworks to some canadian geese - that will teach em...

If it makes sense to own rail cars and boats then the same logic applies to owning semis. The cwb could then pick up the grain and put it in the proper facilty.

For those of you who think the cwb is a good thing, tell them to start paying the freight from my yard and charge it to their customers.

The only farmer vote the CWB will get is farmers deciding to pool their grain thru the voluntary CWB.

samhill,

I wasn't explaining what I THOUGHT the CWB Act was. I was simply giving you the coles notes version of the CWB Act and its development IS.

This opinion has been learned over 15 years, is supported by numerous Court decisions... and thousands of hours of study under many many lawyers and folks of every political and moral standard.

We have been to the Supreme Court of Canada seeking leave in multiple cases on this CWB statute.

It all comes down to this: It is up to Paliament to change the CWB Act... NOT grain growers... not lawyers... not court cases... not wishful thinking.

The Conservatives will need the wisdom of Solomon to handle this mine feild of politics. Goodale did the CROW in with no apparent negative side effects. The Crow was worth much more than the CWB to grain growers.

Therefore this needs to be fixed quickly and fairly.

I believe it is up to citizens to defend their rights
and that the rights of the individual are paramount.
I don't know what the many many lawyers argued,
but I know that the courts are not always judicious.
I also know that lawyers are known to make
compromises that are not in the best interest of
their clients, but the lawyers always benefit. If they
(lawyers) could not present this argument
successfully then there is a large problem with the
judiciary in this country. If we expect parliament to
change this then it is Stephen Harper who will do it
and the CWB and their farmer vote or not should
have no say in the matter.

Samhill,

I agree. Good to hear from you! What part of Canada are you from?

[sumdumguy]

I'm sure the board directors can shove their
policies down their faithful followers throats now,
as for the rest of us- see you later.

[parsley]

samhill..
The CWB is legally obligated to sell yr grain for what they think is reasonable. Not best price.

The CWB liceingin part of the act, requires all barley and wheat loads to sport a CWB license to cross the border. The Board issues free licenses to all but The Designated Area.
The Bof D sit on the left side of their fat haunches and deny Western farmers export licenses.

That deny-policy is blatant discimination. Pars

[sumdumguy]

What happened to Vader? Must be gulping for air.

[parsley]

sumdum,
Nope.

Two days in the outhouse
Sittin on the throne
Fear a goosin' through him
Finger on the phone

Waitin for the dread-call
Puckered lips and ass
Bein told the Board's done
Causes still more gas.
