Quit complaining about transportation

[bucket]

What ritz should have taken away from 2013 is that this country can't handle a 65 mmt crop.

And went to work to fix it.

He didn't. And there is the problem.

Hermanson in 1997 identified issues. And nothing has been done.

There is the disappointment in the conservatives.

The whole Handling and Transportation Industry is still in the rationalizing mode not the expansion mode!!! Especially transportation.

Sign all the trade deals you want, if you can't deliver the goods...

After reading the article there is only one conclusion.......

But I will just ban myself for awhile instead.

The words are not kind.

Thanks Bucket,

I hear the CP train whistle... the Coyotes howl... and thank the Great King for the many blessings we have been given. US Northern Farmers had almost as much a problem as we in western Canada.

I truly know Gerry's spirit... he has worked very hard... solutions are in the queue to improve grain transportation.

If you asked Gerry... he would tell you... that his words did not well cover what he was trying to say... which is the hard part of being responsible for so much... working so very hard... and doing a great job on many issues we as farmers are touched by.

Thank You Minister Ritz for the TPP Trade work you have done... The Legislation for farmers to work through the Hopper grain rail car problems... the winter snarls... the CN/CP Rail CEOHunter Harison fiasco's.

God Bless you Gerry... take a breath... and look back on the hard road to Balance the Canada we enjoy... and be proud of the good work done...Minister Gerry.

the transport mess was the biggest single
loss in my farming history.

at least a buck a bushel in basis.
plus the grief of keeping crops for 2 years , bags in the field 2 yr.s . moving grain
several times before actually being delivered.

average farm 100,000 bushel
X 2 years X 1$ = 200,000$
plus 25,000 $ added costs and storage losses.

close to a quarter million $
per farmer

a figure more than twice as big as my
agri invest account.(rainy day fund)
( that took years to build up)

pissed away by a govt, that would not admit at the time it was happening.
(how can you fix what you will not admit)
now trying to rewrite history that it never happened.

i guess that means that nothing will be done to insure it never happens again. (no plan - no plan and no plan la de dah)

Harper and Ritz must have learned from the ostrich . stick your head in the sand and problems go away.

Tom your turn to chime in here and tell us we just imagined it all, just a bad dream.

there is a Mc Donald's AD that shows
shows young kids basically running the stores.
it is pretty apparent that any stores staff could do a better job running the country than these clowns.

at least if the burger took 20 minutes to get to the counter
they actually would do something about it.
and not tell you it only took 30 seconds

on Monday make it stop

Forage,

Your words can be used as a gauge, so very often... the opposite of what you say... is actually the truth of our situation as grain growers. You make Weird Al look like a genius!!!

You Know;
PM Harper... Ministers of the Canadian Crown... would be up the creek without a paddle... IF they really did all you accuse and advise us we have done... as you conspiracy claims.

Time for that foil song...

[TOM4CWB]

There just might be a run on Tin Foil at the grocery store today! All the lefties looking for cover!!!

[alwayshasbeen]

TOM4CWB and Rob Ford both backing the Harpster! Oh snap, throw in Tom's self serving and strategic blessings of the lord and this election can only go to to Mr. Harper.

[sawfly]

exactly what i expected from you Tom.
when you have no answer or can't admit something , you post a Yankovic video.

brilliant response ,is that in the Conservative hand book.
does Ritz do the videos too ?

[TOM4CWB]

I Like the Tin Foil Idea! I could phone up our Federated Coop stores... and see if we couldn't get a tin foil sale going for you guys!

Grin!

Cut and paste is so easy!!!
