CWB Election Review Panel Report

[ivbinconned]

hey Carebear...thats what its all about. We are putting faith in human beings, and the chances of them failing us are good when examined through the lens of history.

I promise you though, when and if Harper fails in ares that I find dear I will be the first to expose him as a traiter to his stated goals.

I believe as an individual he is as close to the common man as any candidate we have had in many years with the exception of Stockwell day. Neither come from a life of position and and influence and wealthy conections.

But just one caveat...as a westerner, our thoughts and ballots don't hold much sway!

T4 even a 50,000 acre farmer would be a .08% shareholder - based on 60 million acres production. Insignificant in terms of special treatment for voting in any corporation. Unless you farmed around 1 million acres then you would only still be at a 1.6 % shareholder level.

[wedino]

WD, Are you talking total cwb grain acres or total cultivated?

WD9;

It is the principal that is important.

We must get the imagination of the "designated area" grain producers back to a positive vision of working together... in a constructive process.

Far too long have we been divided... let ourselves be trapped by design.

We can do much MUCH better!

[Vader]

When will we have lost so many farmers that we no longer have the critical mass to survive?

Are principles our best survival strategy at this time? Will principles matter when we are all gone?

We had need a better plan than how to distribute ballots in CWB elections.

Tom, we need to do much better if we are going to surive and it is going to require as much cooperation as we can muster.

What price do we need to surive? What will it take to drive the price to where we need it to be?

We have nearly a whole years supply of grain on the shelf. Perhaps we have earned a holiday?

Vader;

Growing a good crop, feeding hungry people, this IS my holiday.

When 1 Billion people go hungry each night...

You sometimes have to sit back and ask yourself, "Why does Paul Martin want to be the PM?" Why would a billionaire need to put himself through the stress that he does? He doesn't really need the job, and he certainly doesn't seem to have a real vision for this country, so why does he think he needs to be the PM? What is really going on behind the scenes that he feels he needs to be in charge of?

Sorry, just some insomnia thoughts.

[cowman]

Paul Martin is the front man for Power Corp. Consider where his millions came from? The often told story is he worked for Power Corp. then they sold him this bankrupt steamship line, turned around and pushed all their business his way and voila...he becomes an instant success! Now why would they do that?
Next Paul goes into politics?
I wonder whose interests he will be serving?
Paul Desmarais, owner of Power Corp., became a financial powerhouse by politics? He buys and sells politicians whenever he wants. With Martin he bought his own primeminister.

[blackjack]

...it is the old boy club at their best and it looks like he(martin) is going to try everything in the book to keep that way...the tax dollars are a flowing...

[Vader]

I am REALLY tired of the feeding hungry people bullshit.
