Two good op ed's in todays Winnipeg Free Press

[parsley]

chukchuck forgot to mention that Ontario Directors did npt democratically vote to end Ontario's participation in the CWB monopoly in 1947 that they were part of.

No, indeed.

The MP's carefully used Parliament to take everyone out of the monopoly, except the West; and they named it the Designated Area.

Legislation. Government bestows and takes away.

If you're of that age, chuckchuck, you must have bawled in your hankie that you didn't get a vote to keep Ontario and Quebec in the CWB.

[Hopperbin]

Chuckchuck this should only be about us western farmers under cwb controle not about any supply management issue.

So can the Designated Area just be
reduced to the City of Winnipeg? I'm
getting tired of the endless whining and
wrangling of the CWB with my money.

They are screwed whether they admit it
or not. Even if they get a judge to
agree they have fewer supporters each
year and if there was a real vote (you
get 1 vote if you file a farm tax return
regardless of what you produce) they
would be in shock. Actually I'm pretty
sure they know what their real support
is they just won't admit it.
I'm not saying anybody but me should
decide what I do with my grain, just
saying their voting list is BS.

The CWB is screwed
