turnover at SPG

[Jfreedom]

Some times I read your posts oneoff and they
seem to make sense and other times it looks like
the ramblings of a raving lunatic . Everything that
happens doesn't have to be a conspiracy with
people out to screw the masses . Some people at
least have the courage to run for boards and
councils . They make decisions to the best of their
abilities and sometimes we don't agree with them.
These people are farmers faced with unbelievable
circumstances with thousands of people looking
over their shoulder with the benefit of hindsight .
Maybe think before posting because you sure like
sitting in the dark of your basement criticing the
decisions of others in positions you will never
have the guts to run for

Oneoff,
3 resign, leaving Vicki, Morgan, Dan Flynn and
Lee Moats as existing directors on the old board.
These 4 are in place to make decisions until the
new board is in place after the AGM. John
Bennett has no involvement until after AGM. I
guess I shouldn't have pounced as I should have
realized you didn't know who was on the board
currently. Look at SPG site for current board.

And my count isn't out by one, your count is!

[oneoff]

You probably beat me to it; I did not factor in the totally unmentioned person(s) not seeking reelection. My error.

Be back soon to probably eat crow.

But get your best arguments ready for your defence of the other actions which are undermining the foundations of democratic priciples.

I'm going to nominate Saskfarmer3. SPG needs
a soybean grower that "knows everything"

[oneoff]

Just so uninformed people (such as myself) don't get it wrong; tell me about how Bert, is related to Dr. Vandenberg; and the various SPG board positions; and though to the projects that producers fund and everything else we should know.
One of the tenants of democracy is that elected leaders and officials are given their position to represent their peers. You can't be the decision maker; and the disproportionate benefitter of those decisions at the same time.

One who is given that trust position is supposed to distance themselves from real and perceived instances of giving input and making decisions and at the same time being a participant in a project that has just been approved.

No one is entitled to multiple chances to learn that lesson. And it is not a grey area; if you are thinking clearly.

[dave4441]

Bert is extremely closely related to Dr
Vandenberg. Here in lies the problem
that I refered to a couple weeks ago.
Too much information out there or what?
You are asking how one person is related
to himself. Do you grow pulses? Grow
anything? You rally about the
principles of democracy but have not
even looked at the website for yourself.

Surely you are joking with this
question?

Jfree... That tired old line of thankless job, doing their best, courageous leaders, inconsiderate followers is also sometimes used as cover by overly eager, corner cutting, error prone individuals, bullies and self serving crooks. It would be some importance for everyone to know which is the case. It is not just "their " business at stake; and one does not have to be all the above.

To deny that reality (however infrequent it may be) is one's decision; and their legacy. However those few (and their more numerous followers) are not fit to ever govern; in my opinion.

In the future can we rely on people such as yourself to keep everyone enlightened about the above two possibilities.

Oneoff just trying to point out that a lot of people
run for boards and due their very best and are
good at it . Some get on a board and end up in a
shitshow like SPG has been in for a couple of
years . I feel for people that end up in that kind of
situation it only took the actions of one individual
to undue the continuity that the board had which
led to this election fiasco . I just don't like it when
people look over their shoulder with grandiose
ideas how they would have done . Your other
issues about guys that due take liberties on
boards or councils for their own benefit . Trust me
I've seen some just unbelievable things on RM
council and other boards . It bogles my mind why
guys take a risk on things for a few bucks and I
wonder at times how people that stupid could get
elected to dog catcher but it happens all the time .
I have seen things end when people get involved
and challenge them in the right way . Going ape
shit in a council meeting just gets ya talked about
though .

Since we both know the dirtiest, nastiest side of what calls itself humanity

we can also probably relate to it being possible to hold one's own in even very uneven fights.

And just because the rumor of your cowardice; and your unjust grievances have been widely spread; and deeply swallowed.....does not mean there is much of substance in what you have heard.

For few will have ever had the courage to attend one of those council meetings and many will have missed the vilification of others; if not themselves.
