US imposes Tariff on Canadian Wheat

[TOM4CWB]

eatmorewheat;

Obviously this tariff is not targeted at anyone but the CWB... I repeat... this is not a tariff placed against Ontario.

THIS Tariff is about CWRS Hard SPRING WHEAT... and DURUM... no challenge at all on the grains that are grown outside the CWB "designated area".

I don't believe that this is action against you or I personally at all...

It is action against a Canadian Wheat BULLY (CWBully for short!)

And CWBullies aren't stronger than all of us together!

Tom I hope your right that they are going after the CWB and its practices.

But as soon as the first LDP gets paid out on corn we had better go after there practices. Then when soybeans pay out LDPs we go after that pracatice. Then when wheat pays an LDP we do the same.

The point I am trying to make is that if I am right we are in for a world of hurt.

Soft wood lumber, tarrif on wheat, point of origin labeling. The US is taking a strong protectionist attitude. As there economy continues to flounder they will be harder and harder to work with.

I hope I am wrong and you are right. But I am going to plan and market according to the worst case scenerio which is mine.

I believe there is a saying... no pain no gain...

And with the CWB this counts at least double!

SMART BUSINESS EXAMINES itself and the environment around... checks for hidden risks and problems... and plans to mitigate and prevent the problems in the first place, before these issues become damaging problems that reduce profit and destroy the business and people in that community...

I wonder what contingency the CWB has planned....

I can feel my wallet...

TOM4CWB, You know that as long as G. BUSH and his cronies are in power the tariff will stay. The CWB is a fair trader, this has been proven and proven and proven and proven and proven and proven and proven and proven and proven (9) times. Thank G-d we have them there to represent us. Can you imagine how well Pierre Pettigrew would do. Look at the forest industry for gosh sakes!! Fortress America talks free trade, as long as it is conducted on their terms. These guys play hardball and understand only power. The US was Sadam's pal at one time, when he was scraping with Iran, now look at what they are poised to do. We don't know if Bush was even elected President by the people, the ballots have been destroyed, now that is a conspiracy. It is fortunate that we are such close friends with the US or it would/could get worse.

Program on TV tonight show Veitnam catfish tariffed and not allow to even be sold as catfish. While US subsidied rice is sold below cost of production in Haiti. Its rice farmers unable to compete get poorer and poorer in the poorest country in the western hemisphere.
