FREEDOM BREAD

[eatmorewheat]

Freedom Bread is out

Why? FREEDOM BREAD’s purpose is to draw attention to the fact that inequalities exist within Canada where all wheat farmers except the Prairies can directly market their wheat and capitalize on the global evolution of food. The world is changing; people want to know where their food came from. Why deny the freedom of certain Canadian farmers to market their own wheat as they see fit? FREEDOM BREAD hopes to lead to the creation of a voluntary wheat board in western Canada to facilitate the direct transaction between wheat producer, miller and baker. The consumer will be rewarded with a product that will have a complete history of origin, a knowledge of where it was milled by a craft miller; before being baked into glorious bread by an artisan baker.

Canadians have fought and died for freedom. We are recently reminded of this with the 60th anniversary of D-Day. Freedom to buy and sell is one of the main pillars of a free nation.


What? FREEDOM BREAD is baked into bread by a Toronto baker who sourced the FREEDOM WHEAT directly from farmers in Alberta and had the golden kernels milled into FREEDOM FLOUR flour by an Ontario craft miller.

Free wheat in the west

[wd9]

What an abuse of the very concept Freedom foods was originally created for. Producers of products with real concerns.

[TOM4CWB]

WD9;

I am a little confused about what you mean exactly;

Without strong property and individual rights, protected by law... democracy is impossible to ahieve.

This is why the CWB can never claim to be a insitution based on democracy... it's base premise is the confiscation of property...

by a majority of farmers...

over the personal objections of often larger and younger commercial grain farmers.

F.E.A.R. (False Expectations About Reality) holds CWB it's power... and we all are getting less... contrary to CWB misrepresentations of the facts.

The simple fact that many Canadian laws were broken in the formation of this freedom bread...

proves a point...

just like the underground railroad... a spirit of justice cannot be drowned out by discrimination and exploitation, that are backed by a corrupt government!

Here is some background for you Tom:

[TOM4CWB]

Incognito;

The question must be asked... is the inhumane treatment of certain "designated area" wheat producers confined to the CWB monopoly bounderies (to the point of imprisonment, leg irons, and strip searches)...

any less worthy of the application of the word "freedom" for those who grow wheat products... than that of animal's freedom?

Or is there a suggestion... that the word freedom can be trade marked... wouldn't this be an ironic twist of the meanings of these words?

[wd9]

Both Hayhoe and ShaSha are organic wheat millers, Hayhoe using also Ontario soft white wheat. ( This I got from their websites, if they do not do this correct me and correct the websites) I grow neither Ontario wheat or organic.

The freedom to advertise is fine by me. It is after all a free country. Eat More Wheat scrolls by continuously on HayHoe's website, a coincidence, perhaps.

I am just curious as to how buying organic and Ontario soft white wheat products is going to help me as a non-organic farmer here in the west and what this has to do with freedom and a farmer elected CWB board?

Tom4CWB, how many organic loaves will you be buying? You are free to make that choice, however.

[TOM4CWB]

WD9;

It is the principal of CWB confiscation that is the issue... whether it is organic or commercial is not important to me... we are all in this together.

The CWB however does not even market organic wheat/barley, yet the extortion of value from an organic grower's grain continues...

Even though the commercial rail and grain handling system/export terminals and ships do not handle organic grain... the main purpose of the CWB Act is to cue/control these systems for the CWB "orderly marketing" mandate to be acheived.

The point of course is that any farmer who is willing to avoid the Canadian grading and commercial grain handling system... is NOT benefiting from or using the "Works for the general advantage of Canada" which the CWB recieves it's constitutional authority and right in law to regulate.

Therefore it is a total abuse of the CWB Act, Canada Grain Act, and an act fraud for the CWB to confiscate regulate and profit from products it has no constitutional authority to regulate in the first place.

The historical perspective which clearly backs this point of law is pedigreed seed... which the CWB DOES NOT confiscate from the "designated area" and which is much more disruptive in and of CWB/CDN single desk distribution of exclusive Canadian quality products.

If Seed from Canada could not be easily or cheaply bought from western Canada... the CWB single desk would be much more effective in protection of our Canadian quality wheat and barley.

As it stands any farmer in the USA (Montana, N.D/SD, Min.) can import Canadian seed, without CWB economic interference (or cost)... and grow our quality to directly compete with the CWB single desk... without any restrictions. THis in essence breaks the single desk theory and renders it worthless.

WD9, so why exactly are we supporting the CWB's non-existant monopoly... to simply steal from our neighbour?

[wd9]

Eatmorewheat, I'll try asking it again, how does the availability and making of freedom bread going to affect the decision of market choice in Western Canada? Is it to promote awareness to organic bread buyers, is it political, what?

Just trying to understand the concept of the idea and how it actually will change the CWB. Freedom speeches are always idealistic, however what and how things are to be accomplished is what my question is about.

How does freedom bread promote market choice and what is the benefit to me as a western Canadian grain farmer and all the other non-organic producers?

[TOM4CWB]

WD9;

SIMPLE;

To bring focus to a injustice that needs correction.... discrimination is exposed, exploitation clearly explained and articulated...

It is amazing to see western Canadians burry their collective heads in the sand... digging deeper by the moment... while suffocating because we refuse to pull our heads out of the sand...

The small measure of threat of choice ( in particular by the Alberta choice publicity)... brought substantial benefit to basis calculations provided by the CWB on PPO fall 04 wheat pricing options in particular.

Market choice and the threat of competition has already paid huge dividends to all "designated area" wheat growers!

[wd9]

Okay, last time I'll try.
How does freedom bread help choice become a reality in Western Canada? Does a portion of the sales go to a group fighting for this, does it fund a political party, pay for commercials in the media?
How will freedom bread create awareness or even is it to create awareness and to whom?
Is it for the farmers' awareness?
Inquiring minds want to know.

[eatmorewheat]

Perhaps the answer is very simple. Does not every Canadain have a bloody right who he/she sells his property to?

When will this mother gov't baloney end?
This is very simply about the rights of an individual in a free country. Chicken and dairy farmers in Ontario face the same ridicoulus oppression designated area farmers do for wheat and barley when they want to find new high value markets for THEIR property.

Free wheat in the west and get on with the job of building a Canada that respects the institution of freedom.

[wd9]

Okay for sure the last time, how does the making of your freedom bread help this?

[TOM4CWB]

In the first post on this thread, it says this;

"FREEDOM BREAD’s purpose is to draw attention to the fact that inequalities exist within Canada where all wheat farmers except the Prairies can directly market their wheat..."

"Canadians have fought and died for freedom. We are recently reminded of this with the 60th anniversary of D-Day. Freedom to buy and sell is one of the main pillars of a free nation."

"...a Toronto baker who sourced the FREEDOM WHEAT directly from farmers in Alberta..."

...

"The simple fact that many Canadian laws were broken in the formation of this freedom bread...

proves a point...

just like the underground railroad... a spirit of justice cannot be drowned out by discrimination and exploitation, that are backed by a corrupt government!"

...

"it is a total abuse of the CWB Act, Canada Grain Act, and an act fraud for the CWB to confiscate regulate and profit from products it has no constitutional authority to regulate in the first place.'

THE POINT IS WD9, some farmers in Alberta, are VERY unhappy that their neighbour thinks they have the right to dip into personal bank accounts... and steal hard earned resourses from their families.

So these Alberta farmers, supported by many others, decided to bring this injustice to your attention, WD9.

Hope this helps!

[wd9]

So the awareness is just to farmers then?

[eatmorewheat]

Thanks Tom.

Wd9 have you tried FREEDOM BREAD yet? You know, some will say that freedom tastes pretty good.

Free wheat in the west.
