I am sure you have been around when the WGTA Crow benefit was removed in 2002 by the Chretian government and the Crow buy out took place. The Crow buy out was the plan or policy put forward by the Western Canadian Wheat Growers. Farmers now pay up to a dollar a bushel to ship their grain. I am sure farmers do not thank you for that.

As you will also know the WCWG was well financed by the corporate grain industry.

Many WCWG members including yourself attempted to get elected on the CWB board of directors but failed. The farmers never voted to end the CWB it was stolen from the farmers by the Harper government.

My apologies concerning the spelling of your name.

In 2002 I just finished university and had just started farming back on my family farm. Didn't even know the WCWGA existed then. My dad would have been a member but never a director. I didn't get on the board till 2007 or 2008. Your right I did try to run in the elections but when you say farmers voted give me a break. I received more phone calls from Regina and Saskatoon of 80+ year old farmers who were hard core cwb supporters, hadn't put a crop in in 20 years. incorporated farms no matter how many shareholders received one vote in those elections but smaller farms partnership,s in some cases I saw, received 8 votes. 1500 acre farms getting 8 votes and 10000+ farms get 1 vote. 160 acre retired farmers in the city get 1 vote and 30000+ acre farm gets 1 vote.
Yes I was very fortunate to lead the grain growers of Canada during the 3 years the Harper govt eliminated the single desk. My grandfather would have been very proud

Explain how what isn't the fact?. Some farms got 8 votes and some got 1. ANy partner in a partnership could vote. not true for shareholders in a corporation
Silly to compare a business election to a election where you elect new governments in a country.
A CWB election should be more like a public company election where your number of votes are based on the number of shares you ow. A farm that deliver 20T can cancel the vote of a multi generational multi family owned incorporated 10000 0r even 50000 acre farm's vote. Could be 20 individuals involved
Whats facts are being scued?
If I'm not mistaken, its the Clinton supporters who are crying foul that she got the popular vote and lost

Once more and yet again. IFarmer. Will you or will you not accept some responsibility for the eventual demise of the _ _ _? If not personally then on behalf of the inflexible zealots who laid the groundwork for civil war decades before the event??
If you cannot see even a little, how your mindset and methods became the root cause for failure then any further exchange is futile.
If I cannot read your posts as entertainment only it becomes on me to remove you from my agriville. As you no longer represent any other of the population it is no longer necessary to read you.

Really, it would be like me claiming that climate has never changed and never will so help me God and this rock under which I reside. Siding with those who would make public climate change denial against the law and also wanting a frozen system for all of us where ideas not supported by you are treated as heresy.
Your kind cannot acknowledge when opponents concede a little, only all. Neither can you concede any at all on your part. Complete inflexibility. Blind crusader become zealot become anachronism.

What happened to us in a partnership, we got 2 votes.
We were both voting for a free market choice from SE of Regina.

When I went to mail the completed ballots, I noticed that the envelopes had small numbers in tne corner, so I ripped the corners off.

Soon after I received a phone call telling me that he wondered why we used the same land location. I was flaberghasted, and asked, " how do you know those are our ballots? " He said he had them in his hand. I was taken aback. They were marked and identifiable - must have been encripted. Now, that's a free vote. Being a federal bureaucrat at the time, I knda didn't appreciate the infringement of my privacy.
