    The fun is... This is not about me... All of us need to encourage our MPs to work for transparency and dependable grain logistics!
    We can do many great things if we team up and are encouraging especially when many are angry
    All the best!

      There was a day in the fall of 2013 that I called ritz's office and told them the shipping was all ****ed up.

      Subsequent calls asked for more transparency in the logistics of the open market.

      They don't listen. Now they don't return calls.

      Transparency leads to accountability and not one part of the chain after product leaves the farm wants to be accountable.

      And least of all the government. Well until election time but it may be too late by then.

          We need accountability in all our systems. As it is clear and can't be missed... Now perhaps we can get to solutions that will truly improve our logistics for all products including our grain.

          It truly must be frustrating for Minister Ritz... He has gone well beyond where ex minister Goodale would go... I have been told by folks that actually know. Not political people either those who seek needed change as we do. It did take 150 years to get this far... We can learn much from those with 250 years under their belts! A true challenge!!!

            That's where you are mistaken Tom.

            Ritz is a senior cabinet minister and has done shit in regards to logistics.

            The election is the excuse now. And then he's done.

              We in western Canada are low on the scale of power and influence.
              How many MPs have we... That care about grain...30 out of 300.
              It has been frustrating to pull that number of MPs in your limited restrictions and time/resources as a MP.
              Rocking the boat oftentimes is counterproductive if those involved don't like rough rides and tell me to be quiet and sit down.
              Think about it.

                Doesn't it seem a bit odd that the railways can get court costs awarded against your farm worth more than the fines they will never pay?

                And you think conservative MPs are working for you?

                CN fines were paid by farmers by pushing the grain into s new crop year with higher rates.

                  The Alberta Courts have nothing to do with Federal MPs.. At any rate we need a real overhaul in many things in ALberta. I believe our ABAg dept is on side for logistics change big time. SK is in same mind... MB?
