Province Launches Campaign To Save Canadian Wheat Board.

[Fransisco]

TV ads started tonight during the hockey game. What a bunch of BS and an utter waste of taxpayers money.

[sumdumguy]

Open the books and make them public, also the
vote.

Maybe it`s time the farmers that want freedom in saleing there grain should get together and put some ads together to defend our right to sale our grain to whom we want and tell the truth about the cwb. If someone want to spirhead this campaign I would put $100.00 in. If no one will take this on I will.

More politics!
I was told the reasons for Churchill were sovereignty and jobs.
That quaint little bubble that exists in Winnipeg will have to find different means of recieving transfer payments!!

[Hopperbin]

Tom4cwb I believe when you take out the n in Winnipeg it becomes Wine ipeg.
I know 100 years of wining is hard to shake, I am from Saskatchewan.

[TOM4CWB]

Hopper,

When U2 came to Winipeg... (oops) the press and classless folks took them to task for mis spelling Winnipeg on the big board at the venue they preformed at.

I guess you didn't notice the great ripple at the centre of the Universe... as it folded in upon itself because of this 'mistake'...

All I know is... if you play with skunks... expect to smell like one before you are done.

These folks are masters at the game of mind altering numbing classless promotion using grain growers funds.

Encouraging them... by responding to their absurd statements and promotion... simply legitimises their campaign.

I believe playing with these people... will only be a mud slinging exercise... they have NOT made any rational argument in their ads.

Because there is none... that can save the 'single desk'.

[Fransisco]

Any one know where you can see the TV ad online? I have yet to find it anywhere.

[wilagro]

"Viterra CEO Mayo Schmidt said he supports the removal of the single desk by the Conservatives and "intends to actively participate in the process to promote an orderly transition with positive, sustainable change for the benefit of the Western Canadian agricultural industry."

What he means is that Viterra will be there to gobble up as much business as they can get to benefit Viterra but NOT necessarily the western Canadian FARMER.

[Fransisco]

Would you like some cheese to go with your wine there willy? LOL

[wmoebis]

Tom by your involvement with the Crow and the CWB I think your forefathers settled in Kill Em. LOL

[charliep]

Perhaps the removal of the Crow and the resulting increase in value added processing is an example of a good change. If we went 15 and undid the method of payment changes, what would be different than today? If the proposed changes occure on August 1, 2012, what will be the differences on June 14 of 2027?

[charliep]

I note the discussion in another thread is about whether there are enough resources to feed a world approaching the 8 to 9 bln people range. Western Canada would seem to be in a good position to capitalize from this opportunity. The question then becomes how you as business men translate opportunity into profit and what type of supply chain structure supports these objectives.
