    Alberta Government or CWB website

    charliep:I think you used to work at the CWB and now you work for the AB government right? Would either one of those organizations be behind the website: www.cwbforum.com?

    I can only comment that is not an Alberta government website. The logos look like CWB ones but could just as easily be another group.

      Would the CWB actually do this? I am not sure. The information on the website seems to be balanced but then again??? Anyone else have any comments about this?

            South West Terminal and the CWB have worked together to launch a series of weather stations in the southwest of Saskatchewan.

                  To use the CWB logo they would have had to have permission or not be too scared of retribution from the CWB. This wasnt that difficult to put together.

                    Thanks Icognito. So do you think it is the CWB behind the site? Or is it South West Terminal as a silent CWB partner? Being naive I thought the material on the site was pretty balanced but I was not sure who was behind the site.

                      The CWB and the Southwest Terminal have certainly consumated the marriage:

                      Southwest Terminal shareholders will get their best cash returns from CWB grain. They NEED the Board. The Board needs them. Farmers don't need either.

                        That you may want to ask them.

                        From their website:

                        Why are website owners anonymous?

                        We are farmers. We don't want publicity. We don't want to compromise our neutral stance on this issue. We feel that if we say who we are we will be pressured by special interest groups trying to get us to be on one side or the other of this debate. We don't want that.

                        We are farmers (who own a terminal that relies 85% on CWB shipments). We don't want publicity (and didnt think anyone would dig far enough to find out). We don't want to compromise our neutral stance on this issue (how do we suck up to the CWB and still stay on the right side of the 50% who want a dual market). We feel that if we say who we are we will be pressured by special interest groups (David Anderson) trying to get us to be on one side or the other of this debate. We don't want that.(you got it)
