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

[RWT101]

Aww, Klause.

You mean you have not read the letters marked SECRET from Jimmy Gardner to the PM of the day?

I have.

Lots of scurrilous activity took place by the Liberals to hide their dealings from the public and western farmers in particular.

But I have to screw up my courage to descend into the musty old, bat-filled vaults to dig up this old info.

But I can assure you it is accurate.

Not sure what you mean by cherry picking. I'm only talking about the War time screwing we took.

It started in 1943 and continued to 1950 or 1951.

That was when the Liberals threw $60mil in the pot to even the account up.

And because the general public did not know exactly how much the Liberals gave away, they were upset that the Liberals were even giving those damn farmers the $60mil to make up for the billions!!!

You do know that South American govts were selling their grain into post war Europe at the same time for up to $5/bu though, eh?

Merchant Law Group LLP.........First class in Class Action.

I wonder what the government's response would be.

Why was nothing like this brought up when CPC was still in power? Maybe should get CWB books opened at same time and why it was given to Saudi's without a farmers vote.

Probably because everyone and their dog has received an apology and compensation for suppression and repression.

May as well get in the queue

Which was the question I wanted discussed rather than a semantics argument about dates of inception which can be analyzed somewhere else.

[farmaholic]

My arguments are so wishy-washy I can make anyone sea sick. I can come in on either side of the debate because there are usually both pros and cons to both sides.

Did Producer's have no equity in:
Buildings
Lake Freighters
Good will
Rail cars

Seems it was always the farmer CWB until some groups tried to lay claim to the above mentioned assets.

It wasn't ours yet the operations were paid for by us.... Not the Canadian taxpayer as a whole?

How do you ever put a value(positive or negative) on the forced monopoly?

I've moved on, but I can't help but to think.

I think the timing of this OpEd was very poor - they should have released it around March 31st.

[farmaholic]

Now now Grassfarmer. Everyone is too busy April 1st.

Christmas is the season of giving.

This topic like a Walking Dead episode. Wont die no matter how rotten and long dead.
Shouldnt surpise I suppose given nearly a century of indoctrination.
Funny how the most landlocked (railing west instead of south) keep it alive the hardest.

Am I as "predictable" as everyone else on here?
