Canadians trust farmers.
Dandy.

Let's tell the public what we think of the CWB!

Set a $ figure per farmer

An ad campaign.

Continuous.

Ordinary people
Explaining extraordinary frustration

Day after day.
Farmer after farmer.
One farmer at a time.
7 days a week
52 weeks

The public will believe farmers. The compulsed-cloister ends up disbelievable.

mmmmh.... funny, those top occupations are all highly government controlled, and have the most powerful unions. Is Parsley suggesting the same for farmers?

[wilagro]

Farmers are notorious for being independent and for NOT joining Unions no matter how much good that this would do them in their marketing, buying power or influence.

[parsley]

Grain Beetle,

Call it whatever if you want, as long as it's voluntary.

If it's voumntary, it's legitimate.

If you are having compulsory-urge thoughts, pack it bit by bit into your nostril until your nose bleeds.

It might clear out some of those jailing and force thoughts that you enjoy so much, right out of your head.

My off farm job lets me talk to many tradespeople and I explain to them the farm issues. They listen in disbelief the way we are imprisoned.

A farmer union is illegal in western canada however with high prices for non board grain farmers might make money and force the cwb to come to the table with some realistic prices for our high quality grain.

Parsley - that is a great idea. Maybe if APAS had a backbone they could put farmer vignettes on radio or tv from real farmers and present both sides and let the public push the government for freedom. Waiting a year and a half for our final paycheques would certainly wake the public up. This would be the time to get the public support behind us and getting them to ask why prices for food are so high - why can't farmers make money?

I hate unions, But which farmers in the world have it the best. Probably the French farmers. They have one heck of a strong union. One voice and they get action. Here its concur and divide.
Works every time.

[parsley]

Best venue?

1. TV, radio , internet page or news papers?

2. $$$/farmer?


APAS....You have got to be kicking!

[parsley]

You just want to chase dollars wilagro, and nothing else matters to you. If you force, jail, or hogtie, it's fine with you as long as you get your bag of loot in the end.

Nice life philosophy. Where did you pick it up...at the dumpster?

Really great idea , Here's your chance to set an example by paying for the first weeks ad's yourself. I'm sure others will follow.

Parsley,

The CWB has dibs on all my spare cash... to 'buyback' 'Fixed' Basis Wheat...

Ian, Rod, Kyle, and a dozen of their model shifty buddies are busy re-tagging CWB programs... from Internationals.... to.... 'Case IH' studies on updating 'CUBE' rotary thrashing of 'designated area' growers!

I have a ton of rocks I picked last night... that I would like to introduce to this new CWB wheat thrashing machine built just for the 'Designated' Grower!

I would be interested in seeing how the 'new' "FlexPRO' handles the 500 lb variety!

Problem is the Federal Courts have turned into massive 'Stone Traps'... Seems like the CWB can lob boulders at the our "designated area" farm houses... and believe they are immune because the CWB has such a special Mazzer Borg 'Ivory Tower'.
It seems immortal and impervious to any of their droneS 'Blood sWeat and teArs accumulating in the mote!

How long... till the spirits of those who have watched so many neighbours, sons and daughters be CRUSHED...

PLEDGE... enough...

LIES, Deceit, and Intimidation!

You shall know the truth... and the truth will set you free!

We are CDN Drones... we would never do anything radical... just complain!

Guess I should run ads on my own this week or you will view me as a cheapskate, mcfarms, but I did consider that the ads would be more efective with continuity, and organized a little more professionally than I could tackle.

A lot of techy people are really good with video cams etc; I'm not as comfortable with it. I'm in favor of spending my own $$ on choice projects, though, not somebody else's hard earned dollars unless they want to co-operate.


As is with a lot of farmers on this site, indeed a few dollars have been spent from this farm getting a free-market-voice paid for in one place or another.

Just so you know, teasing Tom4CWB about paying the bill was personal, and the comment wasn't meant contemplating downloading costs on him, at all. I know him well and enjoy him. And learn many things from Tom4CWB.

[TOM4CWB]

Parsley,

With freinds like you who needs the CWB?

GRIN

One thing is for sure... we can't rent a u-haul and take it with us... may as well spend it BEFORE the CWB finds another way of extracting it out of us!
