Court challenge

[malta]

I have read through all the responses. Good discussion. Most of you are trying to guess what will happen based on logic. Sorry, logic doesn't apply. This is a judge. A man in a black dress. Enough said.

If deleting an area from the designated area,
such as the CWB did with Creaton- Wyndell,
gerrymandering the boundaries, leaves the
definition of the DA's "single-desk" intact, it is
obvious Parliament did not weigh the single
desk's worth based upon territorial boundaries. If
territory was the gauge, legislators would have
included Ontario and Quebec within the confines of the DA.

In other words, removing six municipalities
surrounding Calgary would not effect the single
desk status. Or adding Nunavik.

You propose an argument that weakens the
strength of your single desk strength argument?

Compulsion always becomes Illogical and
indefensible, doesnt it. pars.

dml,
Shall i send a note to the PM and tell him XML
says, "Simply changing boundries is amendable
as it is not changing the Intent of the ACT" ?

So that the government can simply change the
DA boundaries, and redefine it as a five mile
perimeter surrounding old Old Wives Lake. It
sounds like the sort of territory that might pat pat,
pat, pat, pat, pat, pat, pat eight crying elected
boys doesn't it? pars

1993 and 2007...

While there may be a Conservative government, courts are still steeped in Liberal appointments...

Third time lucky?

[parsley]

At the lower courts unlucky.
At the SCC lucky.
But in that interim period, farmer's pooling
accounts will be decimated. Pars

[dmlfarmer]

lol at Pars. I would argue that the intent of the CWB act gave FARMERS the right to change the marketing structure and boundries, but does not give the government the right to unilaterally impose such changes. That is my opinion, and that is all it is. A court may or may not agree. All I am saying is this is an arguement that may be used.
Whether you agree or disagree with me is immaterial. So no need to personally attack me because I am not arguing for or against the CWB. I am merely answering an earlier question with a point of law that a judge must consider.

If anyone is there today, if there is a decision could you let us know. Can't find an online source.

Two social factors have changed, as well.

The courts traditionally treated farmers as cap-in-
handers, "shut up ans put up" but the likes of
manillchanged that image,and the younger
farmers' formal educational qualifications are
often equal to or higher than that of the court.

As well, agricultural representation in Ottawa has
strength.

As well, many lawyers are vying for
appointments, and their pro-liberal
voices at bar association soiree will be
dampened and so will their endorsement of
stupid decisions. Courts do notice.

As well there will be hell to pay from legal peers
once the court realizes once the government has
succumbs to farmer-power, the WarMeasures
Act can no longer be invoked to protect them
from angry farmers lol. Pars.

[parsley]

Not a personal attack; goodnesss, you don't
even sign your name. But I really don't consider
you an enemy. Just slow But we all learn
multiplication tables at our own rate; and
eventually learn that socialism does not serve us
well in the long haul. You'll part with your blankie
some day. Pars.

[parsley]

Oberg's Dilemma:
The Band of Eight have probably concluded they
can alter DA boundaries by passing a motion,
voting in-camera, and then declaring Ontario and
Quebec part of the DA.

And then the Band of Eight will order the
Government to pass their motion on the Rick
Mercer show .

Will the government obey? That's the Oberg
Dilemma. Pars

Canadian Press and Reuters are in the Courthouse...
