    Vader;

    Perhaps you forgot. (Or don't care any more)

    The CWB was NOT invited to market my wheat or barley...

    I, my father before me, and my grandad before me did not ask the CWB to market our farm's wheat or barley.

    The extra layer of acadamic vegetation that calls themselves "Marketers" down at the CWB:

    1. Do not ask when I need my grain sales completed;

    2. Continue to Pool all grain sales they handle... including FPC's BPC's DPC's and EPO's...

    All sales NOW go through the pool accounts...

    To insure the CWB pool "is not effected" which is double speak for preserve the pooling system at all costs to prevent transparency of CWB sales values...

    Which is double speak for refusing to be responsible for CWB sales decisions.

    3. The CWB is not an accountable corp. (Directors to shareholders as CWB; responsible to the Liberals in Ottawa) CWB NOT responsible to those who use the corp. to sell their ag produce... just like Tyson's or ADM... the preservation of the CWB's power... the "SIngle DEsk" is where my profit is channeled instead into the shareholders pockets as occurs in ADM and Tyson's.

    So in the end; a voluntary CWB with market choice would solve all these issues Vader...

    Which is why Chairman Ritter and Rod Flaman were elected in the first place to create...

    Instead these two Liberal lap dogs chose to schmoose and smooth talk us out of our hard earned cash to fill their own pockets!

    How does this make the CWB any better morally or ethically than ADM or Tyson's... when every second statement from the CWB is a misrepresentation of fact and a distortion of truth?

      And you don't slant all your rhetoric with fear and deception? All you need is a pulpit to preach fire and brimstone.

        Agstar77;

        A simple question:

        Why is asking for the right to say NO... and use the services of a different marketer deception and evil?

        Few outside independant observers would agree that a service provider with a monopoly will provide the least cost service with the best options and benefits!

        Why is it so wrong to simply have my farm's needs be met by a choice to market grain through freedom to choose...

        An option to have a marketing partner who provides the best and most efficient services... (as can be done with non-board grains)

        Rather than marketing at CWB gun point with the threat of imprisonment as Chairman Ritter so clearly brought to my attention in January at Wildrose!

        How is the CWB at all compatible with a free and democratic society?

          Your first mistake TOM was to ever think you live in a free and democratic society...actually you live in the nanny state...where the government knows what is best for you!
          How long has this debate be going on about the CWB? Will it be likely that it will be solved in your lifetime?
          The CWB is like any other government beuracracy...bloated, inefficient, and self serving?
          What happened to all the tough talk by Shirley McKlellan? The Alberta government has the power to put an end to this farce but refuse to do so? How can anyone say they live in a free society when the fact is western Canadian grainfarmers are treated in a different way than their counterparts in the rest of Canada? A dictatorship in how you market your grain is not compatible with freedom!

            At the cabin on the weekend, I found a Western Producer dated September, 1987.

            You could have changed the date to July 09, 2005 and nothing has changed.

            Sad...

              Incognito,

              Good presentation in Camrose!

              CIGI, CGC, CWB, all must change to conform to new WTO trade rules... wow.

              Change is the only constant in our business... no doubt about it.

              Change brings opportunity... lets make things better... cause that is an option... and is possible!

                COwman,

                To be honest the BSE issue seems to have really derailed the CWB reforms.

                Clearly we need marketing options... and the need for these options has been accented by BSE... CWB multinational fear tactics have been reasonably effective in slowing this CWB reform process.

                I have not seen info on the CWB election reform hearings, have you?
