    Great Days In History

    There have been many great days in recent history: VE day ending the First World War, The day the Birlin Wall came down. Moon landing by US. The Saskatchewan Roughriders winning their first Grey Cup in November of 1966. But I will always remember December 16, 2011 as the most welcome day of all, when we finally have the freedom to market our grain, it has been a long time coming, but as Jackie Gleason would say, "How Sweet It Is."
    having farmed for over 40 years have had an ongoing hate for the Wheat Board, just as my father before me had. The years of frustation of limited grain deliveries, the restrictive quota system, delivery deadlines, contract calls, permit books to fill out, they are all now just a sickening reminder of this socialistic nightmare.
    Thanks to the Harper Government and the determined work of Gerry Ritz and all those farmers and farmer groups that gave their support and made it all possible.
    What a great Christmas present and what a great way to end this year. Looking foward to a very promising 2012, the future of farming has never looked better.
    MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone and a most prosperous NEW YEAR

    rbgordon,

    Glad you dropped in... a pleasure to have you post here!

    I totally agree whole heartedly... I will still remember the day in May 1996... in infamy... when Goodale did the Order in Council embedding the 'single desk' 15 minutes after David Sawatsky was acquitted.

    Merry Christmas and all the best in 2012!

      Badale Days should not be forgotten. Tyrrany
      reigned for years, but the day he imprisoned
      Sawatzky for selling his own grain - then
      smacked us all with what Goodale thought was
      binding legislation that could never be changed,
      as long as the board was in charge of the vote.

      We still shake our heads in disbelief.
