This would not have happened with the CWB--- Ideologues may differ

I don't like prepricing ungrown grain that is susceptible to easy downgrading either.

Greed.....Yup. But I like to call it maximizing profits! Everybody else in the chain is doing it.

Pre pricing grain is great now getting out of contract is usually easy and costs very little if anything , wish I was 29 now I would make so much money without the crooked Union government employees .

Couldn't agree more....wheat at the west coast to the prairies is more than 2.50 per bushel spread and yet the basis doesn't reflect that.....


You have guys bitching about the CGC having a slush fund for the work they do out west and yet we pay that and the freight and get a prairie price that isn't reflective of anything.


Much the same as when the cwb was in place ....but you know the money is going to grain cos now ....back then it was into general revenues for the country...

There is an article in the western producer about the pending disaster out west....with all the money others have swindled off farmers and no one can figure out all weather loading??????

Oddly enough, engineers could figure out how to put an overhang over the stands in the new Mosaic Stadium or if they wanted to spend the cash even a "retractable" roof over the whole thing! What's the total yearly value of the commodity grain being loaded on those vessels? And the net profits from handling that grain from the Inland Terminal to the Port Terminal(both Inland and Port terminals owned by the same Company)?

In most other businesses the "consumer" pays for business upgrades and expansion(you define it because there are many types handling it between the Port Terminal and the absolute end of the line for the consumed commodity)not the "supplier" of the raw commodity.

The new stadium looks like a ****ing toilet seat from above....exactly where this province is headed ....down the shitter. ...

We have a local farmer who 2 seasons ago was still selling wheat to the CWB (no. 1). Then after waiting over a year to get all his payments ended up with a grand total of $4.10 per bushel. They stole from us then and still do.

The single desk Canadian Wheat Board was ended by Harper and Gerry Ritz in 2012. The CWB was then given to G3 May, 2015. G3 was a partnership between Saudi Arabia and Bunge. G3 continues and has ownership of the CWB logo. Without a single desk the Ritz CWB was useless.

So when your friend sold grain two years ago for $4 a bushel he was not selling to the Canadian Wheat Board or the single desk. He was selling to Ritz's CWB or G3 that patented the CWB logo. I believe this was fraudulent.

The assets paid for by farmers were given to Saudi Arabia by Ritz and Harper. In addition there needs to be a full investigation of these type of loses such as your friend who may have been defrauded by this company using the CWB logo.

The Friends of the Canadian Wheat Board are fighting in court for the assets of the Canadian Wheat Board to be returned to farmers

This was all fraud and a full investigation needed to be done
