The key point, I think, in Orsak's writing is this.....
"It's time for the CWB and its board of directors to realize this isn't about them. It isn't about keeping the single desk. It isn't about their personal desires and authority. It isn't about their political and ideological views.
Nor is it about another CWB scheme that is neither "cash" nor "plus."
What it is about is the barley industry and whether we will have that
industry in Western Canada in the future. It's about economic growth. It's about creating something larger and more significant than the CWB.
Never before has there been so much promise in the barley business,
especially for farmers. However, to capitalize on this promise and to build for future years means forging an environment where industry not only finds opportunity to stay involved, but finds opportunity to invest new capital in innovative technology, infrastructure and processing. That would be enormously good for farmers.....
It's time for those who are choosing to ignore this reality to put their
partisan politics and ideology aside, and help create an environment that
will allow the opportunity that lies ahead for all of us to be fully
realized.
The CWB can choose to do what is right. It can choose to be part of a
vibrant and growth-oriented barley industry if it wants to. Or it can choose to scorch the field. The rest of us are ready to face a brighter future, one we've waited for long enough."
I don't expect you to give us a rational counter argument Stubble. You will rely on meaningless borrowed little quips. But unfortunately for you, they reveal a close minded, clinging to the past, ideology.
But, heck, why don't you surprise us? Answer LWeber's question. Honestly.
And then give us YOUR vision. And a realistic means to get there.
