C18 Past 153 to 120

[FarmRanger]

The trouble with a vote is if it comes out different than the rigged CWB "plebiscite", (which it inevitably would), then the pro-single desk side will just run around saying it was rigged, fixed, etc.

It's better to just kill the single desk and let anybody who wants to sign up with the new CWB do so. The days of forced participation in the state trading agency are over.

The vote was definately the wrong thing to hang this debate on. But then it was the CWB grasping at straws that made it an issue. The issues of rights and freedoms, equal treatment of farmers all across the country, and the lack of real benefits to the system, should have been the main issues.

I watched the vote with my Mom(88), the only regret was that my Dad was not alive to witness the event!

Can someone put a link up here, I'm tired of looking for it. Was on the CPAC site but can't find it. Slow I guess.

Was a great day in the house today with over 60
farmers in the gallery including several of the
farmers jailed by Goodale and his but buddy
Easter. Things couldn't have been sweeter when
watching former CWB directors Hill and
McCleary sit in the gallery with their sour faces to
watch history. The NDP opposition out did them
selves by occasionally sounding like they knew
where western Canada was. Western Canada
should be very proud of the MPs that were in the
house today truly historic . Cudos to PM Harper
for the thumbs up to the farmers in the gallery a
very appreciated gesture . A lot was made of
Butch Harders mental off spring actor son hired
by the NDP to put on the show in the gallery last
week . Wilagro you must be so proud that even
after jackin off behind the furnace that little
darling was hatched Yes Santa Clause there is
a miricle .

Jfreedom: Your true colours are showing and they are not pretty.

[Jfreedom]

Sorry Wilagro but last night I was not a gracious
winner kinda gloating for myself and my family
this has been a long fight . Hope always
overcomes fear and loathing .

I was stunned to see NDP MP Pat Martin call the 60 farmers in the gallery thugs and goons.

[Braveheart]

Did Pat Martin really say that? Where did he say it?

The only tatoo I have reads, "ONLY GOD WILL JUDGE ME". I'm going to hold my eyes shut while I say this so I don't see it. Listen up Pat Martin. Anytime someone in government talks like that people need to be concerned. To not have decency to at least respect someone elses' opinion when you are in government flies in the face of the very democracy you PRETEND to represent. To make those comments about citzens who have just won what they consider life changing important freedoms show you to be a selfish, small minded tyrant.

Sic semper tyrannus, PAT! You're the kind of politician that winds up hanging by his heels in the town square, or shot and burned in some weedy garden.

HANSARD: NOV. 28, 2011

Mr. Pat Martin (Winnipeg Centre, NDP):
Mr. Speaker, on the same point of order, perhaps in light of this information it would be fitting for you, as the Chair of this place, to remind everyone in the gallery that they are not allowed to clap in the gallery. They are not allowed to lean over the edge. They are not allowed to drop paper. They are not allowed to make any noise. They are not allowed to jeer or boo.


If the government is parachuting in a bunch of people to try to disrupt Parliament, perhaps we should put some order into this debate at the front end, instead of allowing the Conservatives to come in here and steamroll over the rights of Canadians with their undemocratic legislation and to disrupt Parliament with a bunch of goons and stooges they parachuted in here and paid for.
