Merchant law suit

[Braveheart]

Wilagro, experience shows that such enterprises usually fail. Farmer directors usually try to mold the enterprise to strongly enhance THE FARM at the expense of the sustainably of the enterprise they direct.

Ritz and company ended it now its time to pay up

[Burbert]

Good fer Comedian framers. Finally a show
of guts fer a change. Here's hopin we all

Courts decide what is true and correct.

I hope filson has deep pockets to pay Merchant because I am pretty sure Tony(like the railways) will be paid before any farmer sees a dime.

It also makes you wonder how much the former cwb board paid to law firms to pursue law suits.

[BreadWinner]

Tony Merchant is a blood sucker, the residential school debacle landed him some sweet pay. He always takes his share first then your left with the leftovers. Cant believe all you lefty pinkos love the idea of a U.S. style lawsuit.
Ritz can keep my money if its from the CWB, I dont want it or its leftovers.

OK Wilagro,

Who had a decent year in the farm supply/grain handling business... that counts on direct elected farmers to direct the future of their business?

UFA?

CWB?

SWP-gone;

AWP-gone;

MPE-gone;

UGG-gone;

Federated Co-op is a food, fuel, hardware, farm supply merchandising business... whom I wouldn't mind the new CWB selling out to!

Is that your idea Wilagro???

Why didn't Oberg and his crazy 7 buddies start transition years ago?

Federated proves no 'single desk' is needed to be a sucessful marketer!!!

[sddickson]

The single desk or monopoly is gone.
I really dont give a shit if the CWB dies.
They can keep my share ($4,000. on average, per farmer) to rap things up.
A small price to pay, for marketing freedom, without that commie single desk dictatorship.

[cpallett]

This class action appears to be premature at best, and a complete waste of time and energy at worst.

Not only is the CWB continued (read alive and well) under the new Marketing Freedom for Grain Farmers Act, but the Act also provides for the distribution of assets should the CWB be wound up.

Tough to argue that the manner of distribution of assets is unfair and/or illegal when those assets haven't been distributed yet and continue to be in the posession of a working CWB. Which, of course, makes it well nigh impossible to argue that Canadian farmers have lost the 'benefits' of having the CWB when the CWB is still alive and well (albeit with new management).

What a joke! Spin your wheels, commies.
