Won't be long before Chairman Mao Tze Hill will be propogandizing that a MAJORITY of DA farmers voted to keep barley soley under the CWB, without even choice.
That's a true Mao tze Hill! Let's give him until the 15th of August before he starts throwing a number out...say 80%, naw, better make it 87%, yup, can't you just hear him claiming, "87% of the barley voters were soley in favor of soley CWB monopolizationary selling"? I can.
He'll be advocating for you. Breathe it in, slowly. Repeat, "87% of barley voters wanted the Board." Relax.
Anyone for good odds?

CWB directors have duty to advocate for farmers
After reading his letter, Gov't committed to bringing choice to barley growers (SP, June 30), it seemed to me Gerry Ritz, the minister for the Canadian Wheat Board, has not yet had the opportunity to fully familiarize himself with Justice Roger Hughes's ruling in the case of the so-called gag order that Ottawa had imposed on the board in October of 2006.
In his ruling, brought down on June 19, Justice Hughes declared, "(t)he minister argues that he has a duty to safeguard the funds of producers that may be at risk. I do not find such a duty set out directly or by reasonable implication to the act.
To the contrary, the provision of a board of directors, 10 of 15 of whom are elected by the producers, places the duty to safeguard the producers' interests with the board, not the minister."
Given Hughes's decision, it is hard to see how Ritz can continue to justify his government's attempt to "step in" and prevent the farmer-controlled board of directors from doing the job we've been elected to do.
That job includes advocating on behalf of the majority of Prairie farmers, even when the views we're advancing run contrary to government policy.

You have an advocater!
Why the hell doesn't somebody ask Hill why he is taking money out of the FARMERS' pooling accounts to pay for the Export Manufacturesd Feed Mill Export licenses, and to pay for probing the feed loads, and to pay for feed inspectors...and to pay to licensing all the multinationals' feed loads,..... all paid for by FARMERS.
Can't you just hear him say, "I want to save the big companies some money. I am advocating for farmers. If farmers pay, I am a good advocator."
Are you gonna buy it?
