Cwb sale will cost election?

[Tucker]

Riders and Mustard. The Conservatives stopped the CWB buying monopoly. Countless bushels of wheat crossed the border last year helping to alleviate the railroad backlog. My father at 88 still tells me of 5 bushel per acre wheat board quotas for wheat. He was forced to raise cattle for pennies to use up the grain he grew. I put all my land in alfalfa selling to camel racers in Dubai for a decade because there was no money in most cereal grains. I'm making money on wheat now. I'm voting Conservative.

Well said Tucker.

Did you read Wikipedia on the 3 men. I'm waiting for the list of improvements.

Selling the CWB to a rich foreign country that needs lot and lots of wheat!!!! Sounds like a winner to me. If we could only turn back time to the old days of CWB tirany, steal from the farmer and keep him going with crappy intern payments. You lefties are just crying over the loss of you CWB Communist dreams. If you want the old times back I'd gladly sell your wheat for you and give you all revenue less marketing costs. Oh and you won't be getting any shares in Breadwinners wheat board BWB.

I will say this again

We just the little ******* on the chessboard

Same as Harper..... Out

The only constant in the CWB legacy is this: farmers never had a choice.

Curious what Jane Jacobs said?

It won't mean a thing to an election....and we never had a choice and we aren't meant to have a say. Someday the general public might catch on; but it will either be too late or else there wont be enough involved who see it as significant enough to still do anything about it.

For all you that support trucking over long distances - wait till the infrastructure bill comes for those highways.

It's not sustainable. But carry on wrecking them instead of fixing the core problem.

Rail cars and railways cost less in the long term than highways.

"Selling the CWB to a rich foreign country that needs lot and lots of wheat!!!! Sounds like a winner to me".

Are you that naive to think Canadian wheat isn't already being marketed to the Saudi's by one of the existing grain companies?? Or that in some way this is going to increase demand, competition, or prices for Canadian wheat.

I doubt any one on here would require your marketing services. Maybe next time when your visiting granny in the home she could explain how world grain marketing and pricing works!!

Now that Salic is a fully integrated canadian company with deep roots here there will be nothing stopping them from buying canadian farmland.

And according to cotton's calculations that would only take about 20 days of record oil pumping to do. Even at 50 bucks a barrel.


Buy when the world is in the shitter economically by dropping the price of oil?

Hook line and sinker.

Little wonder now how the pools got sold out with buffoons like ritz in charge.

Politics to some is a religion for some.a belief for life.uncoditional commitment. Will always see the the good and ignore and dismiss the bad.if you have only voted for one party and that party is the same as your parents you probably fit into this group of people.
