Top ten reasons the CWB plebiscite will prove nothing

[furrowtickler]

smallguy - so it's fair now that most board supporters have up to 6 votes per farm and in general non-board supporters have one? On top of that ballots go out to dead people and some active producers get none - ya - what are you smoking?

If everyone here on this thread started a
VOLUNTARY pool, how would the group make
decisions?  Would it be based on tonnes/acres or
one vote per person?

Dear John,

If we started a 'voluntary pool' there would be 1 vote. A vote with our truck... to deliver or not to deliver.

The CWB NOW counts our grain as part of the pool... before we even harvest it. I cannot see how this is logical... fair... or respects the 'common law' the CWB code of ethics says they will obey.

BTOfarmallll - I don't usually read your posts as
they do nothing but mock and deride people for
their opinions. You show no respect for others
and their ideas and thereby deserve little in
return.

I'll respect you and your questions as soon as
you show you and they are worthy of respect. If
you can't do that, don't expect another response
from me.

You can start by getting my name right.

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...

[furrowtickler]

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.
