Good Mornign Agri-villers:
Licensing Tidbit:
Read this tale, confident it is barren of truth.
Rumour had it that OWMB was ticked off with the CWB, a few years back, because the CWB is the only game in town that can dish out export licenses, and, as the story goes, were peeking at the names of the buyers filled in on the Ontario licenses.
Ontario no longer wished to reveal the names of their buyers.
Nor was the CWB to be denied information. Horns locked.
Ontario, so the story goes, was so miffed, they composed their own license, and signed them, and with the loads of grain, presented faux licenses at Customs.
The CWB, as the story was told, was dis-amused.
Customs sharply rebuked Ontario. No jail, though.
Ontario WMB then tried to get a Federal Government Department, Trade and Commerce, to issue the CWB permits, instead of the CWB.
The CWB flew down in a flurry, feathers ruffled.
Finally a compromise was had.
OWMB are no longer required to name their buyers.
AND
The CWB maintains licensing.
Expensive licensing session.
Of course, this could all be gossipy gruncherie, but the visual is useful and forceful. Visuals can put me into a tizzy, I discovered this year. lol
This is clearly a licensing issue. Trips to Ottawa. Meetings. Expenses.
Westerners paid the bill.
Westerners
Westerners paid
ONLY WESTERNERS
A little morning humor:
THE CWB MAINTAINS JURISDICTION OVER LICENSING.
If you want to see a nasty rooster-fight, elect a few militant CWB Board members, and let them convince the other Board members that everyone must to vote to deny export licenses to everyone BUT Westerners. And send the bill to everyone but the West.
A little in-house policy trick, I picked up. lol
