Top ten reasons the CWB plebiscite will prove nothing

Thanfully farmallll you mean nothing to the grain trade and absolutely zero to Agriville.

Keep hiding behind the name and acting tough. Put your real name out there and you might get a little respect.

furrowtickler, why do you have a hard time to understand what iam getting at. What I am trying to say is one person, one vote. If a farm has two or three books, then i would hope that all of them are involved in the farming. So what you are actually saying then is that on a federal or provincial election, either you or your spouse should vote, but not both of you? Bottom line is that if more permit books are taken out to take advantage your farm, it is because of flaws in the system. My advice would be to stay clear of those people, as they are sooner or later are going to be taken advantage of you.

How can we steer clear of this brutally flawed
system, when they want use it to extort from the
federal government the continued ability to
expropriate our wheat?

Our single ballot for our multigenerational farm is
going to my MP.

[furrowtickler]

What I am actualy saying is simple - it is b/s that some farms(mostly cwb supporters) have multi ballots while others (mainly non-cwb supporters) get one or none. This adds up to a very one sided vote. And anyone not activily farming should not have a say. Said the same thing three times - get your eyes checked...

At the end of the day hopefully it will not matter and the cons do what is right-give some of us the choice - no different than canola, peas, lentils,ect.

Smallguy, a federal or provincial election is government for all citizens. A wheat board election is business. Big difference. Cant even begin to compare the two. Unless you actually believe the powers of the board to be greater than those of the federal government. Remember that the single desk only exists because of legislation created by the feds. The feds giveth and the feds taketh away.

I think we all could guess the results that will be
published, whether they are factual or ethical is
another story.

John, from your previous post below I have a question or two.

Am I to understand you are not in favour of taxation? If the personal dollars you earn are taxed as personal income is this not a decision by one group to decide how another group manages their property?

And what about the dairy farmers and poultry farmers, do they not impose their marketing board system on all farmers? What about Michael Schmidt (raw mill producer) who wants to be outside the supply management system that is supported by the current Conservative government?

Also you can choose not to use the CWB simply by growing non CWB crops.


Your quote:
"Still voting to allow one group to decide how another group manages their personal property.

Can someone please explain why that makes any sense at all."

ANOTHER FEEBLE ATTEMPT TO PROVE EVERYTHING
CWB IS TRASH, open market is good. Say it
enough times and the masses, may actually
begin to believe it. Go Angriville, go!!
Us Comedians sure need your input fer our
everyday decisions and planning!!!!

The wheat board is a tax.

It takes away from the true value of the grain it handles.

However, for some ungodly reason it is only imposed on the farmers from 3 provinces in western Canada!

There is no justification for that no matter how hard you spin it chuck.
