Flaman the Liberal

[Fransisco]

Yes Goodale's young apprentice Flamikin is powerful in the ways of the Liberals.

Recall - the Sith Order went into hiding, though they were soon discovered by the Jedi and believed to be destroyed. They survived, but resurfaced with the depredations of Darth Ritterious and Darth Haull that began long before the Battle of Nabarley. Darth Ritterious of course had been elected to the office of Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Republic.

And let’s not forget Darth Toewsanus, formerly Count Dooku, started the Confederacy of Non-Independent Collectivists (CNC or the Collectivists). And that during the Clone War Battles (CWB), many Jedi lost their livelihoods at the hands of the Collectivists and their Kaleesh cyborg military leader, General McCrearieous.

But worst of all, you know what this means, Parsley?! You’re my twin sister! And Vader is our father!

[parsley]

I am lamed.

What is so debilitating about your revelation is stated in the CWB's Code of Conduct:


(i) Working Relationships

Directors and individuals who are direct relatives or who permanently reside together may not be employed or hold office in situations where:

(a) a reporting relationship exists where a director has influence, input, or decision-making power over the relative or cohabitant's performance evaluation, salary, premiums, special permissions, conditions of work and similar matters;


Oh Bro, what this means is that our applications for employment at the CWB will not be accepted........unless we can get Daddy to try to overturn the policy.

Parsley

[GrowTeff]

Conflict of Interest??
Remeber all those survey and focus groups over the past couple of years!!!
Let see...Liberal Rob Flaman CWB director hires fellow Liberal David Herle of the Gandalf Group to do Political research paid for by Canadian farmers.....I wonder how many copies went to the liberal party?
Remeber OIL for Food...Enough said
CWB grain shipped on Liberal owned boats thru Thunderbay instaed of loading ocean vessel as they do with NOn board grain such as Canola....Explains why they don't want to develope churchill

When will Adrain Measner tell us which riding he will run in for the liberals?

CWb is full of Liberals...That is why they fight so hard to keep it...Patronage at its finest.

Another intrestng CON nection....Larry Hills (CWB Director who actually is not a bad guy)Brother in law is the Biggest defender of the CWB and happens to be the leader of the NFU (Stewart Wells) So is this why the NFU (the Agriculture arm of the NDP) fight so hard to protect the CWB and Stewarts Brother in laws JOB???
This aggency needs to be flushed and new blood brought in.
Flaman must resign....now

[AdamSmith]

Why would any one expect Flaman to resign?

It would show he has confidence in being actually able to win the seat in an election.

It would signify that the BOD are not a bunch of partisan political hacks.

It would show he understands the damage done by introducing partisan politics to the governing and running of the cwb.

and most of all it would show true character to recognize the conflict of interest that he is in by remaining on the cwb bod's.

None of these things even enter into the deepest recesses of Flamans mind.

Remember this is a guy who abandoned his principles and was bought off for a few trinkets and beads.

The perfect Liberal Candidate.

[SASKFARMER3]

Great now I have to help the family defeat anouther nut job from Eden wold in the Regina Quappelle riding, like our own Regina Wascana Ralphy Boy.
If these two Idiots ever ran the show we would be all working for government and planting trees instead of Wheat and Canola.

[SASKFARMER3]

Farmers in the Regina Qu'appelle area look at the mans track record,

I will change the CWB, then after his first real check (as far as farming he is no brain surgent,crappy farmer,)he joins the gravy train and changes his tune.
Now him and the Regina Nut job Ralphy boy figure their is disgust in Rural Saskatchewan about the CWB and they could get some liberal seats. So Flaman and a few more choice liberals are going to start appearing on the landscape.
One look at the last 13 years and see what farmers in Sask have gone through.
BSE, Drought, Frost, Frost and Floods. and Ralph and the boys gave us studies.
Then to compete against the US subsidies grain farmers were told to plant trees and adapt. Well hell we adapted and now they want to destroy that two by keeping the Farmers at the bottom of the food chain.
Simply look at these two as a prime example of what is W R O N G with Agriculture politics in this country and once and for all send them a clear message that we are done with the likes of these two jokers.

[Burbert]

So, here is what I think, if you don't like him, don't vote for him. In Sask nobody like the ND's, or the Libs. So re-elect the crooked PC's, they'll do the best for you's. Or are their cnadates still in goal? Bale is what they need to get to the poles. Yup, the crooks that you know, wood be best for Sask, and framing. Politicos are politicos, all are feathering their own nests.......

[SASKFARMER3]

Drinking again BURP BURP. Just look at history and the NDP and LIBERALS. Sask NDP and their policies of land bank shoe factories, all people work for the state. Liberals Federal AIDS CASE Lyle Vanclief etc.
Yes you support winners.
Lorne Nystrom I forgot to pay for sunglasses as he walks out of the store forgetting to pay for them. Or Swen your buddy in Vancouver who forgot to pay for a diamond ring for his boy friend. You really hang with worthy fellows burburt.
Now enough BS look at the facts and tell me honestly how Flaman and Ralphy boy will help farmers!

[just_wondering]

What will be interesting is when the polls come back, you will be able to tell exactly where liberal support is(in the city) Flamen will get less than 10% in the rural parts of his riding. He should have run as a dipper in Sask that might get you elected.

But for the purposes of this discussion it will show that Flamen has NO support where it counts.
He will spend all of his time campaigning on an issue that in Regina nobody cares about will spend no time in the country he wont get the votes and who really likes getting yelled at all day.(he'll miss those CWB BOD meetings, not that he was contributing much anyways)He will get crushed after running as a Liberal. Then he will rerun in district 4 as CWB incumbent and lose. after Jan 2009 you will never hear his name again except for a few CBC reporters going to him for comments on Ag because his farm is close to Regina and they can get some nice visuals.

For the record in CWB elections when more than 1 candidate runs in the same district its not vote splitting. To win you need more than 50% support. its vote stacking. two campaign better than one ,three better than two.

[SASKFARMER3]

Excellent comments on this Man, He will just stay in Regina and BLA BLA BLA like Ralphy Boy (dig a big hole and call it a lake). The one time he will have to go to a rural meeting he will have an excuse, he will try to split votes and hopefully not win.
Again this is what is W R O N G with agriculture we keep electing Useless wannabes who think they know what is best for agriculture 100 years of this crap proves I am correct.

[sumdumguy]

They'll get Nettie's vote for sure.

Rod Flaman, a CWB director, runs for the Liberal Party of Canada. Adrian Measner, former CEO of the CWB, stands on the steps of Parliament with Liberal Leader Dion and Liberal Easter, and condemns the Government's position on removing the monopoly on barley - obviously positioning himself as a future Liberal MP. David Herle, Liberal strategist and campaign chair in the Federal election, is the CWB's main pollster. Bob Roehle, prominent Manitoba Liberal organizer and former head of the CWB's "information" department - is the leader and spokesman for "Friends of the CWB", a group which takes the Federal Government's barley regulations through the courts. The CWB hires Avis Gray, former Liberal MLA and political campaigner for Liberal CWB Minister Reg Alcock. CWB board and management pay $400 a plate to attend a Liberal fundraiser - remember that?

Does anyone think the CWB hasn't become an efficient and handy vehicle for Liberals for everything from funding campaigns, to providing a springboard for political career attempts, to running continuous media campaigns in support of their candidates and policies?

Does it really even look like it’s about getting the best value for Canadian wheat and barley producers? Not to me.

Will Flaman step down to demonstrate his integrity? Or to guard the integrity of the CWB?

[parsley]

Flaman.

Integrity.

Jeez.

[Kodiak]

I just thought I'd put the concept out for reflection and discussion. Maybe he'll get the hint. Or maybe he'll evade the issue.
