    Rock pile... take your freedom of speech bullshit and eat it...then make another valiant post as to what it tastes like.

    Until such time as the vermin are purged from 423 and I am still breathing, the score isnt even fn close to being settled.

        Rockpile,

        The 'Court of Public Opinion' was determined in many ways.

        The rural prairie MP's are fully behind the CWB reform...

        The CWB and Goodale threw Dave and Andy... under the train of the 'single desk'... in an attempt to save the prairie pools. Your attempt to demonise their liberation efforts is NOT appreciated... they sacrificed everything to the CWB battle.

        The CWB/Goodale result fits the dastardly deed done... it is both ironic and heartening that most Farmers For Justice freedom fighters can sleep easy at night now...

        But the cowards who sought to save the pools through confiscation and arrogant mismanagement... shamefully destroyed a life time of work, by many of our forefathers.

        The Crazy 8 CWB Directors made history... their arrogance and lack of respect for human freedom and property rights will not soon be forgotten.

        Cheers!

            FOr all you cwb lovers.

            Remember that the family farm was purged under the cwb rule. The cwb sat idly by and had editors write garbage that it would happen under an open market system.

            I watched a generation of good farmers lost to the oil patch or other industries because the cwb could not extract the premium to keep the farm viable for the next generation.

            That 250 million that larry just spoke of is the equivalent to what the provincial government put in for a "too wet" payment in 2010. Had the cwb not lost it and recouped it in the last couple of years alot of farmers would be better off today.

            Some people really lose perspective when all they worry about is being able to count the neighbors bins and the value inside them.

              Just a comment on the border runners. I do
              believe that what they were charged with was
              federal acts, charged at the border. CWB did not
              lay the charges. Its kinda like this Tom, if I
              bought drugs from you, and got caught at the
              border, then I blame you. Your a wiz Tom at
              research. Can you find EXACTLY for me what the
              border runners were charged with, not farmer
              coffee shop talk of what there idea of the
              charges were.

                Good point agchat. To my knowledge the border runners were allowed into the states to deliver their grain and charged when they were coming back into Canada. That's what makes the story kinda odd. They were returning home, no different than an Ontario farmer that made the trip to the states with a load of 1cwrs down east, except the cwb had given him a free export licence to do so. Had the western farmer drove east, he still would have been charged.

                  The farmers, part of a group called Farmers for Justice, had been convicted of taking their grain across the U.S. border. Others had their vehicles or equipment seized at the border.

                  “Their acts were purely symbolic of course,” Harper told a gathered crowd. Sometimes “just a few loads of grain were driven across the border. Sometimes, just a token shaft of wheat in the back of a pick-up truck.”

                  Harper said he was granting the pardon under a rarely invoked power.

                  “To the authority of the Crown falls an ancient power; the Royal Prerogative of Mercy,” Harper said.

                  “It is a rare and significant thing for this power to be exercised. But ladies and gentlemen, today I am pleased to announce it will be exercised. The group of farmers convicted under the old unjust legislation of the Wheat Board monopoly will be pardoned by the government.”

                    Agchat,

                    You are really 'special'

                    "Its kinda like this Tom, if I
                    bought drugs from you, and got caught at the
                    border, then I blame you."

                    You had better get a new supplier... I think the ones you are using right now are a little kinky!

                    And to compare selling illegal drugs with wheat... defamitory in intent.

                    I tried to get CDN Customs to check my load.... they refused and charged me because I did not present a CWB export license... which the CWB promsed yet refused to issue. The Customs folks stayed my charges and would NOT let me fight the CWB injustice in court.

                    Cheers!
