Is it time for an apology to western Canadian farmers? Noel Hyslip letter

[mcfarms]

I'm thinking 10.5 million is the going rate for things like this isn't it?

No apology for him seeing he doesn't know when World War one took place. Good for a laugh though!

Dates are right it was of course the second world war, but the message is sound. The treatment of only one portion of the farming population of Canada while exempting the others will be the ground that this will be laid upon. Why is one groups suffering at the hands of a monarchy and gov't any different than anothers?
Is it because the victims of that 70 years of oppression were mainly white?
Shame on you.

Lord, could you imagine the price of inputs if that happened?
$1000 rent 30k an acre. Us farmers would transfer that wealth in a hurry.

Careful what you wish for

Umm... No. Dates and facts are wrong.


The first cwb was made to keep prices down in WWI.

It goes down hill from there. How the rck could you publish something like that.

Reasonable satire I thought.

The the earlier WW 1 systems were varying in scope and powers I suppose could be considered a precusor to the 1935 reintroduction.

As far as what else I said why would that be an issue? Is not a system, any system that maintains control and or discriminates unfairly upon one segment or group of a population while allowing another segment of the same population different rights and freedoms wrong?

Trudeau is so ****ed up that he would probably apologize crying then write the cheque to the Saudis who never put a dime into the purchase of the cwb assets....

I would lke to see this liberal gov investigate the privatization of the cwb. That in itself was a massive theft from farmers

Agreed. Article is great example of fake news where facts are changed to support the argument of the presenter. Unless this opinion piece was accompanied with a warning that it is satire and facts have been changed, it should never have been printed in MSM because there are uninformed people in the world who will buy every thing presented as gospel.
