Ritz's speech today

[per]

Every city guy I explain this to wonders why we can't sell to whomever we want. Even the Libs and NDPs. I agree, an election on the Barley question- Bring it on.

[agstar77]

The bill will either die on the order paper or end up dead after an election call. You really think the neo-cons want to try to explain to easterners why they forced an election over Beer? We want an election so livestock producers can have cheaper feed and Canadians can have cheaper beer?

[rbgordon]

An election over the barley issue, what great entertainment that will provide, just hope the vote is not during seeding as this is going to be fun to watch. D'yawn and Taliban Jack will have a hard time stating their case to Eastern Canada, the west has already tuned them out. How can these two clowns debate intelligently on the subject, my guess is they don't know the difference between a bushel of barley and a bale of hay. All they have shown up to now is blind support for an archaic institution that has long past its usefulness, if it ever was useful.

[stubblejumper]

The CWB debate was never an issue in the last election. Coserative members were elected in western canada to kick out the liberals or because conservatives were always elected. By making it an issue Mr's Ritz and Anderson may find out where the 14% of producers who want no CWB live.

[jensend]

i doubt anybody east of manitoba would give a rip about wheat and barley marketing in western canada. an election issue it ain't. how much do you care about the fishing industry in atlantic canada?

[SASKFARMER3]

Simple

Liberals - Like institutions (Most spend their evenings their) Control (Gun program)and not doing any thing just talk and talk (Ralphy boy is famous for this). Create a big Bureaucracy

NDP - Create Jobs the heck with the farmers who have to do all the work, take all the risk and are rewarded with peanuts. Keep Labour happy. Jack is their for you.

Green - Sing kumbia and smoke some grass farmers have lots.

Block - Its good for rest of Canada but Quebec wants nothing to do with it. You guys can keep this one were on our own.

Conservatives - Giving Owners of product the right to sell to who ever, where ever, when ever they want. Its your risk you should be rewarded.

[agstar77]

S3 has gun contol been abolished? That was one of their promises. Being in power does strange things to politicians' minds.

[Braveheart]

For the record SF3, the Green Party are libertarians and believe in free markets and would likely dump the entire CWB faster than you can say granola munching.

[TOM4CWB]

Agstar77,

Obviously Gun Control has NOT been abolished.

Chairman Ritter is still got his gun... and is still using it to take our farm and communities financial resourses.

Remember... "You can get much more done with a gun and a smile... than with just a smile!"

[Fransisco]

The Green party are a bunch of watermelons. Green on the outside, red on the inside.
