    I see Ralph can predict grain markets and weather, as he states that

    "For the next two or three years, the impact of killing the single-desk
    will be camouflaged by droughts and other global production problems
    which are cutting supplies and pushing grain prices to record levels."

    more of your verbal diarrhea Ralph.

    I once had someone say Goodale was the only person they knew that
    took 15 minutes to say good morning.

      I too disbelieve that Ralph Goodale wrote this
      piece. One of the desperatos that pulled his
      strings must be losing sleep.

      Not RG

        Nobody can fit as many words into one idea as
        Ralph can. Cash advance who needs it? Just sell
        the grain and get paid in full

          Runoff, agreed. The cash advance was only
          necessary because of low initial payments and
          long waits for delivery. The CCGA will look after
          cash advances if the CWB does not want to
          provide that service. Pretty basic logic. No need to
          fear for cash advances going away.

              Let's measure Goodale's statement:

              There are 23 individual sentences of which....

              15 are factually incorrect
              (farmers not asked? no public debate? Where has he been for the last 30 years?)

              5 are factually correct (or at least I can agree with)
              - the date it was posted
              - 69 years of history
              - the single desk is dead
              - the CWB continues to exist, now "one of many"
              - railways and grain companies expect to extract higher margins (yes - through efficiencies. But farmers will get high prices too.)

              3 are conjecture, guess or hyperbole (like our brand has been "slashed" and the projection of market values)

              Score: 21.7% correct

              Conclusion: FAIL
