CWB Sold?

[Mjolnir]

Heard a rumour today that the CWB has been sold to Bunge. Anyone else hear that?

[farmaholic]

Details of the rumor?

[Mjolnir]

That was it for details.

[riders2010]

So they own rail cars and a ship? Lol
Why didn't we do that?

[furrowtickler]

Bunge would get Mission and a couple of new bath tubs to support Paul Martins(LIB) little shipping empire on the great lakes.
Libs should love it, more support for those lazy fuks through Montreal . Little J.T. will be all excited.....

[iceman]

[Hopperbin]

Klause bought agriville. I think he is screwed. Broke. Somehow he still has a wife.

[Rareearth]

Good.
Who owns the CWB?

I will wait.. And wait a bit longer. It's been a year or two now. Wonder how big my check will be?

I got a check when potash mines were sold back to private companies, Saskatchewan residents.

Yes lots are happy, that we have freedom, and open market opportunities. They don't care what equity CWB has, we have paid dearly over the years. Line ups a wood elevators, 3 ton trucks, quota, lost opportunities- grain sales and farm or business-retirement portfolios ( over and above Canada Pention Plan, etc. cash flows were difficult to manage then, almost like today's contracts.

My family has good wil, office buildings, ships and now terminals, paid for by reserves not paid out in final payments, contingency funds, etc

[Klause]

Funny, Hopper :P



I'd get divorced if I bought Agriville... spend too much time on here as is.... gotta go out and do stuff. Ya'll depress me. LOL.


The sun's out. snow is almost gone... ground is firming up...


Soon be able to empty all our bins.

Adm was the front runner with the ties to this government.

[grower99]

I thought the stakeholders would be consulted ie the farmers maybe with a vote?

[Mjolnir]

What ties does ADM have with the current government bucket?

[bucket]

Harper- mulroney - adm.

I think mulroney is off the board but the this selling the wheat board started long ago. They just didn't have the majority.

Much like rescinding the OIC there is always some payback. Look at career politician baird to cp. What the **** would he know about business or railroads for that matter. He's been in Ottawa since he was 20.

[sumdumguy]

Pure payback Bucket. Pure and simple. They just move off the fence post to the silk cushion.
