It will get very interesting if this all goes to crap. There is probably enough emotion out there for some serious reactions.

Wd, have you revisited the 2006 Report of
Technical Task Force on Implementing Marketing
Choice for Wheat and Barley, chaired by Howard
Migie? Pars

[Kodiak]

The 2006 report put more meat on the bones of how we could get from where are are to a marketing choice world, which would include a voluntary CWB. No other report has come close.

But frankly, if the court case goes sideways, as good as the report was its way past the time to even consider it now.

New legistlation can be simple and one paragraph long. It would go something like this.....

"This Act hereby repeals the Canadian Wheat Board Act, and the affairs of the Canadian Wheat Board shall be immediately wound up subject to the Governor in Council's determination as to how its affairs and accounts shall be terminated and closed."

Its that simple.

Kodiak ...this simplicity would probably be the least
painful for all.

By far the most efficient.

Cheers.. Bill

[parsley]

Kodiak, if the court decision goes south, the
government must immediately rescind the
legislation.

Shoot the suffering rotten cow. Pars

Hey Parsley... Do you ever become passionate about
injustices?

Love the comment.

Cheers... Bill

[parsley]

Not enough for anyone to notice. But I did get
rooting around in a drawer full of old studies
tonight and made a note of all the money wasted
fighting against the CWB,

What a waste of energy, cash, and resouces that
could be targeted elsewhere. Makes me wild.

[bduke]

Agreed Parsley. The absolute waste of money &
time, the lost opportunities, the missed
opportunities from distractions and frustrations and
the inability to contract and market is a huge non
calculated cost.

Infringement of fundamental rights add much more
insult to the injury... probably the greatest
demoralization.

I'm thinking a quick death seems too kind.

Cheers and Good Night,,, Bill

Bill,

My Princess agrees with you....

Oberg has done a very great dis-service to the grain industry in western Canada.

I truly hope the Federal Court Judge sees through the smoke to adjudicate the motive and intent of the CWB 8 who seek only to destroy a future co-operative CWB that builds upon the good-will and intrinsic brand built by western Canadian grain growers.

[cropduster]

Are these legal costs on top of the 1.4 mil for the ad campaign??

[bucket]

Just change the law already and fire all those useless leeches in winnipeg.

One day, not long ago, I asked the person on the 800 number if the employees had contributed to the legal challenge, click. She hung up.

So I assumed that they like to spend other people's money as well. Useless and incompetent.

[wilagro]

Why are you nitwits railing against the employees of the CWB...good lord, they are just ordinary people like you doing their job and supporting their families. You would think that they are evil incarnate the way you carry on.

You all act like "rioters" after the Stanley Cup game blindly striking at anything in your path.

Fer Kristsake smarten up.

[bucket]

For one thing they think I work for them and its the other way around.

Secondly they can never answer a question and refuse to let you talk to someone that makes decisions.

Third, if their job depends on this court action, don't you think it would be a good investment for them.

Fourth, I have reasonable conversations with grain companies, the cwb treats me like crap on a good day.

Fifth. If they have to record phone calls - why? They never take good suggestions and implement them.

I could go on but why, they are a bunch of leeches and for the most part useless.

[parsley]

You lack insight, wil

I personally had a CWB employee discreetly
provided me with a study that the CWB had
commissioned on an oath of anonymity The
study's results reflected CWB performance in a
bad light.

The CWB had read, ignored and buried the
results even though change would have put more
money in farmers' pockets

The employee didn't want to lose his job. The
CWB didnt want to lessen their power.

Farmers paid both.

You see, farmers come last Wil. That did it for
me Pars
