....and of course those who oppose the single
desk are the ones who are rude. How could we
have missed that.

[Integrity_Farmer]

Remember the director elections smart guy.

[FarmRanger]

Ahh, the director election referendum. It's a
good thing thing for us prairie farmers that the
federal election referendum superseded it.

[vvalk]

integrity. Real classy. So your saying the CWB elections are not rigged? They use their own list, hire their own watch dog for the election, each ballot can be traced and half the voters list wouldn't gross $50000 a year from farming. The CWB's own polling shows that a majority of farmers, for all CWB grains, are against the single desk.

The very first <b>REAL</b> referendum on the wheat board will be on August 1, 2012!

Integrity_Farmer you stupid ****.
P.S. Go **** yourself
Man are you good with words.

Not sure what makes people on your side of the fence so nutty. All that the gov't is doing is removing the monopoly from wht and bly.
They are not disbanding the CWB. The directors have a good year or so to get thier act together to make the bored a viable free market option for all of us wheat and malt barley growers. (maybe even canola, I didn't mean to say that). I don't wish to be held hostage for something you want, and I guess if you fell I should be, the words above, back at ya.

[ColevilleH2S]

What makes people like I_F so nutty is that they think they have the right to dictate to the rest of us, how we should sell the fruits of our labour. I am not the least bit surprised someone with language like that supports forced expropriations. Disgusting.

[furrowtickler]

I F is that you fagstar? wow take the blinders off retard....

[sumdumguy]

I-F.

If you think the CWB elections weren't rigged,
you are just as stunned as you sound. The
marked ballots, the concocted voters lists.

[agstar77]

And they thought BTO was bad, penalty box.

The writer of Agriweek raises an interesting idea.
"the Honorable and practical thing for Oberg and all elected directors of like mind to do is resign. If they do not resign they should be removed by Ritz, who has the authority to do so under the present act".
If the writer's statement is accurate and possible, then I would sure go along with the 8 single desk directors being removed by July 1st 2011. If a seconder is needed then I so move! All in favor...DONE and GONE
I'd be happy if my district was director less until this voluntary cwb was put in place. So no director election needed to replace them.

Integrity-farmer, you're opinion is certainly welcomed and creates good discussion, but do you need to swear to get your point across?

Since you say there has been a Canadian referendum on the future of the wheat board, please post what the question on the referendum was, when it was, and what the result of the yes no vote was. I may have missed the opportunity to vote so am unaware of any referendum.

Director elections are not referendums, they are about choosing a director that best serves the mandate of the corporation.
