CWB buyer

Farm groups who supported this transaction were merely trying to support Ritz. I understand why they supported the deal. Loyalty is most often good , but sometimes loyalty is stupid.

I believe Ritz made a bad deal; bad for everyone except the Saudis.

Saudis gaining a foothold in Canadian ag assets is not good for ag down the road. pars

Who or what defines terror? If Canada refused to do business with countries that sponsored terror (in some form, or definition) we'd do no business with Saudis, Russia, China, Iraq, Iran, Egypt, Jordan, etc. The UK, US, even Canada all have black on black ops. It's just a fact and has even for centuries. Even the Vatican has its's subversive unit.

So, who's left that's ethical enough/worthy enough? No really, who? Let's hope they have money.

Ritz is a stupid stupid man.

But I think we both knew that long ago.

Someone will eventually have to own thus deal.

Sadly once again farmers are collateral damage and no one gives a shit.

I understand your point, brave.

PM Harper turned down Chinese ownership, didn't he. Why?

We had a NORAD agreement in the north with USA. We could easily have had an agreement with The USSR. But we didn't. Why?

As for the Saudis... And this is the important point... The only two pillars for their culture is Islam and Sharia Law.

Period.

Their laws, based upon Islam, describe you as an infidel who must convert of die or be taxed. Their law. They are not obliged to honour an agreement. That is their law.

Not a worthy business partner.

Each Canadian government owes their first duty to Canadians. pars

If farmers are smart bucket, they will sit down, make a sound plan, and take the company over. There is opportunity to do do.

The partner companies need farmers' grain.
The farmers don't need them. Pars

How the **** is this possible,did they tender bids?Who is god damn stupid to put up 50.1%?

Wonder what "this is great folks" crowd would say if this was china or iran or the dictators we hate because we are told to hate them.

**** the sauds.

[Braveheart]

The Saudis have 3 pillars to their culture, the third one being money.

House of saud,the only assholes on the planet who can fly a couple of planes into a couple of big buildings by one of their sons who happens to be living in a cave in another country which starts a multi decade war toppling other countries in the region,payed in blood by foreign troops including canadian,turn around buy untendered canadain grain infrastructure,and a bunch of dumb bastards canadian farmers stand up and clap because they are brainwashed.

Bad people are just bad people no matter what there false Deity might be. The Saudis are more into money than religion.

[parsley]

I didn't quite understand, Cott... Too vague.

Money isn't everything, brave. just ask the Saudi women how they like to hand over their eight year old daughters to some fifty year old pedophile. Ask Saudi women how they like being killed if they ask for a divorce. Or if thy don't dress as specifies.

Saudi women aren't even allowed to drive.

Canadians are so bloody spoiled, we don't appreciate what we have going for us.

Religious fanatics who's idea of heaven is a stable of women to service the men all day isn't exactly a religious Western concept either. Good god. Pars
