Time to fight back!

cchurch...

So why doesn't the NFU in Sask have 10x the members the wheat growers have?

Wildrose in Ab... same thing...

Some organisations would rather be true to their principals... than compromise!

10 hard working people can get much more done.... than 10,000 folks who don't care!

Oh the double standards "If allowed to stand, it means the CWB can take my money and use it to lobby against me." Western Wheat Growers.
But I guess it was OK when the AB government was using taxpayer money(including that of AB producers supporting the cwb) to run election ads against the cwb at the time of the barley vote?

"Why doesn't the NFU in Sask have 10x the members the wheat growers have? Wildrose in Ab... same thing..." Well one reason as I'm sure you are aware TOM is funding ... Wildrose did approach the AB Government to be recognised as a legitimate producer organisation and receive the funding that goes along with that recognition. They were shown the door because they were unwilling to compromise their principals on the CWB (that is give up lobbying for what their members actually wanted)
In AB you have to be a puppet to Government and their big business interests to be allowed into the arena. Let the western wheat growers, western barley growers stand on their own two feet financially for a few years and see how well they would fair.
As you say TOM "Some organisations would rather be true to their principals... than compromise!" certainly applies more to the NFU and Wildrose Ag producers than it does to your puppet friends.

A member of the NFU, who thinks George Bush caused 9/11, who has never grown any grain, who buys 2 tonnes of screenings pellets a year, who was not born or raised here, who has never had to deal with the grain industry at all, is coming on here to defend the cwb???????????

What a joke.

How come you never answer how it is that you cannot get your fellow cattle producers to form an organization for your industry just like the cwb grass????? Will the NFU or Wildrose not get behind you on that? What exactly do you believe the principals of your beloved organizations are? Please tell us all what it is that they are doing to help the ag industry right now. Today.

You whine non stop about the big bad packers, and the big bad USA, and the big bad Alberta government, but you are producing grass fed calves to sell differently than 99% of the rest of the industry.

Do you just like whining?

You have the freedom to sell your product to anyone you want - do you not?

What makes you think the product I grow doesn't deserve the same respect?

grassfarmer,

Interesting how much the CWB has invested in the left... CFA, NFU...

Did you cash your cheques from the AB gov... the federal gov... your entitlements?

How did the Sask Party get elected... the Ab PC's get re-elected if their policies on the CWB are so revolting?

Could it be possible... you are short a few peices that are needed to put the puzzle together... Grassfarmer?

Is it just possible... the majority of the people's views in AB and SK... don't agree with yours?

[grassfarmer]

Such bitterness Silverback, and I notice neither of you managed to comment on the two points I made. Always change the topic when the facts don't suit you.
It was warm today... I guess I'll have to start a thread saying that global warming is a reality.

The Alberta Conservative Government was elected on a free enterprise platform. Their vision also included a farmer being able to sell what they grow. They will committ money to their vision.

The Federal Government was elected on a free enterprise platform. Their vision also included a farmer being able to sell what they grow.
Both Governments stated openly what their platforms were and both were elected on that platform.They will committ money to their vision.


Neither Governments should fund what they campaigned against.


You don't like the platform. Tough ass.

Principles?

Pray tell what principles are you talking about with the NFU and Wildrose?

Is it: "What's yours is mine"

or "I never met a government handout I didn't deserve"?
