1. The CWB are traipsing off to Ottawa, again, next week, on farmers' dollars, ignoring the Minister's public direction to come up with a plan for choice marketing.
The choice directors will be booked in at the CWB spa, so they won't be able to attend.
The Government is frightened silly by the idea of a Ministerial Direction, but it is rumoured some staff are putting together a mini-conference prior to meeting with the Board, dubbed, "Receiving Dierection", to help boost confidence and skill of the Department, but so far nothing concrete has come up.
When the CWB arrive, the Minister will insult-chatter with them, a ploy to send them into a predictable public relations huff, complete with Easter prime-time for four solid days.
Insult always garners a predictable reaction; paving the perfect way to avoid the courting/union. A liason must inevitably occur in the interests of the farm community, but does not because it is not in the interests of the CWB-Government players
A "squabble" distraction will provide the Government time to do nothing until an election is called, and then they can plead nothing can be done until the election is over.
Farmers will continue to lick up the bottom prices, and the CWB staff will demand and get a raise for their stressful contribution.
The good news is the restaurants in Ottawa are really good. Lots of seafood. Expense is of no concern, of course. The service is great, because the tips flow from unlimited pooling accounts.
The farm community badly needs testosterone; even Eugene Whelen identified it a long time ago, advising, "Eating beef makes you ferocious".
We need to get really mad.
