Like your doing so well selling grain now - rob from the FPC and BPC's to hide your mistakes.

Oh - oh Access to Info...its beginning to unravel...

for the end game - see your cousins down under. maybe there won't be severance - just with cause.

Below is an exerpt from a CP story on the plebicite.

The NDPer says she doesn't agree with it!

And Wayne Easter say he thinks producers will see through it!

Today at 2pm in Question period the NDP and the Liberals were demanding a plebicite, and now at 7 pm the same day they are now critics of a plebicite????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????


This is the twilight zone, right?




Critics argue the task force was fixed from the outset and the government got the answer it was seeking. Now Strahl is pushing ahead with a strategy the critics say will divide western producers on the barley question, where support for the Canadian Wheat Board is less established and more fractured, and eventually destroy the board.

"I think strategically it's a very smart move on the part of the government but I don't agree with it," said New Democrat MP Alex Atamanenko.

"I think it's a divisive action. It's going to sow more confusion into the lives of farmers."

Wayne Easter, the Liberal agriculture critic, called the plebiscite decision "too smart by half. I think producers will see through it. What it is, is a strategy to tear apart the Canadian Wheat Board a piece at a time."

AdamSmith;

Obviously few believe the "single desk" can keep barley... it is a no brainer to go to an open market on.

We don't need the CWB in barley... at all.

I agree with Easter... this is destructive to the CWBII... as it will likely never handle barley... or any other non-board grain...... if we are to decide CWBII's future by plebicite.

But if in the end... this is what all CANADIAN grain growers want... I can live with it!
