ITC Ruling on US Countervail/Anti-dumping on Canadian Wheat Imports

[charliep]

Check out the following CWB link on the above:

Most important description of the process is below.

In today's remand response, the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) reversed its original decision (which had split commissioners 2-2) that imports of Canadian HRS cause injury to American farmers. After an appeal by the CWB, the NAFTA panel on June 7 remanded the injury finding back to the ITC for review, saying it could see no substantive evidence to support it.

Not sure at this point on next steps/implications.

You lookin' for me? "end up like Nova Scotia" caught my eye. but I can't say I disagree with most of what you said.Actually I agree with your forward looking ideas,now if we could get a Fed.Govt. that we could count on to do just that ,we would again have the country we were once so proud of ! I did some counting,it looks like this(if I didn't miss anyone)
N.S.: 6 Lib MP's,3 Conservative,2 NDP
N.B.:7 Lib ,2 Con,1 NDP
PEI.:3 Lib
NFLD.5 Lib,2 Con
not a very pretty picture, but all four provinces have Conservative Provincial Governments.Let's hope it's a growing trend.So far Ivbinconned, we've ALL been conned.Let's hope spring brings in a whole new season of sensibility,things just aren't working the way they are ,for anybody but the chosen few,and they are in what we refer to as central Canada(Ont.) being east of you doesn't make it "The East" from where I'm setting.

Hopefully Ralph pays attention to his 'image tutor' prior to heading to Ontario, if he happens to say anything obnoxious about our oil revenue you can bet the federal hands will be deeper into our pockets in no time !

Guess I am prety thick between the ears but I just cant see the difference federaly or provincialy .
The only difference is in the military and indian affairs but I would bet if the provincial govmts ran those departments it would be the same thing.
Our most shall we say vocal conserative in alta is RUTHERFORD AND IF WHAT HE SPOUTS IS CONSERVATISAM TRHEN IT IS NO WONDER IT DONT CATCH ON ELSEWHERE. He seems to think that they are the chosen ones and the rest had better stick to our own place and leave the affairs of the country to them that know best.
I may not know best but I think I have a right to voice my opinion.

Rutherford has been critical of the provincial government on some topics horse, but I agree with you that he certainly has a bias toward conservatives.

I often listen to Rutherford when possible and while I agree he is pretty pro-Alberta Tories he also has a message of personal responsibility for yourself? In many ways he borders on being a libertarian?
Personally I want less government not more. If I have to have someone administer education and healthcare I would rather have it at the municipal level than at the federal or provincial level? Those boys seem to get up to Edmonton and Ottawa and start believing they are something special and don't have to answer to the dumbies back home!
Now I do believe my federal MP tries, even though in oppostion he can't do much, but my MLA is about the biggest bum we've ever had...and he's a cabinet minister!
I would hope that the Alberta Alliance party can make some solid gains in the next election, up from their 9% showing last time(first time out)? Might make the Tories get off their butts and start listening to what the people want? I would also hope the NDP and Liberals dissappear in Alberta...we don't need any tax and spend socialists here!
