SASK3 has it right:
" And why pigs beef cool because our stupid livestock industry has been build on cheap feed grain thanks to the CWB."
That's where the system really got whacked.
The CWB GAVE/GIVES the feed mills export licenses.
(Backroom in CWB building,smokey,three from marketing department present.Four mulinationals' marketers present. Takeout Chinese food on the table. One accredited agent lurking in the shadows. One princess present.)
Wheat Borg:
"Okay, okay, uncle. I give up. Here's your export license. Haul out whatever you want, feedboys"
Feed Mills:
(high fives)
(silence and then horrified glances)
" Oh, oh. What if the farmers won't sell their feed wheat and feed barley to us?"
Wheat Borg:
(hee hee hee)
"We wondered when you'd get around to asking that. We had a study done on a gray-colored folder."
(wheat borgers hands the study to feed mills)
Wheat Borg:
"We just won't issue the farmer the export license he needs ...so you feedboys gotst captive domestic feedgrain. A bird in the hand, so to speak"
(high fives)
FeedMills:
"Jeeeez, thanks. This is like Christmas. Whadda we owe ya for the perpetual export licenses?
Wheat Borg:
"Nothing"
FeedMills:
"But doesn't it cost something to issue them? Can we at least buy you a new fax machine?
Wheat Borg:
"Nahhh. We just send the bill to Western farmers! They're used to it."
Wheat Borg:
(dialing)
" Ya. It's done. Bring up the champagne."
(pause)
"No, for #$&*'s sake, bring the good stuff in that cooled room."
(pause)
"Tell the whole Marketing Department to get their asses in her, we're gonna have a party."
(pause)
"Yah, ok. Tell CBC they can come"
