Mr. Strahl not Mr. Stalin

When a ceo -Mr. Measner- follows the
cwb act as a single desk seller of grain he is doing his job.
When and if when the CWB ACT is changed then the ceo will have to follow the new act BUT UNTIL THAT TIME COMES, the gov't should not be taking examples from past Soviet leaders and imposing their heavy handedness on the board.

[agstar77]

That is part of the topic for the emergency debate. Can the government of the day change CWB policy and operation without permission from parliament?

[JACKFLASH]

Mustardman:

YOu don't think the board is not heavy handed in their past dealings with farmers? What goes around comes around.

[mustardman]

Jackflash , until the law is changed,
then the Harper gov't should not impose its ideological mindset on the board at the consequence of being disciplined, fired or removed from the board.
The heavy-handedness towards farmers you are speaking of I presume your referring to a few years ago when Custom laws were broken? These same farmers Asked the police to place them in cuffs and irons knowing what a great photo opportunity that would be.

Could Measner's 'granderdizing' possibly have some brotherhood to:

RICHARD HOWARD KLASSEN
Plaintiff
- and -
HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN
Defendant

Read this juicy claim at:
http://decisions.fct-cf.gc.ca/en/2004/2004fc193/2004fc193.html

Should Mr. Measner takes counsel from Mr. Klassen? Mr. Klassen built himself a claim, eying up those cash-handy pooling accounts, because, after all, compared to the farmers, he was underpaid:

QUOTE
"At the date of termination, the plaintiff's gross annual salary was approximately $141,100.00. When all taxable employment benefits are added to this sum, his total employment income was $186,996.00 in 1998. This income included the taxable cost of excess life insurance provided by his employer and the taxable benefit associated with an automobile also supplied by his employer. On December 29, 1998, the plaintiff was paid a total of $352,079.36 before deductions. This payment included inter alia, a sum of $282,200.00 purporting to be a "Loss of Office Payment" (LOP), equivalent to two years' salary, pursuant to the Terms as acknowledged in the release signed by the plaintiff."

UNQUOTE


Enough wasn't enough for Mr. Klassen, though. He went to court.

The pooling accounts have piles of waiting cash for severence pay for Mr. Measner et al. After all, single desk-
farmers don't demand more than the "highest price" they are already getting.

Some of the single-desk elected Directors need to recommend that Mr. Measner can probably look towards claiming 'stress leave' compensation as well. Maybe the CWB can tell the Minister to go to hell, again, and they can just access cash from a ripened Contingency Fund in addition to the pool accounts.


'Severence claim stress claim ' will maximize compensation-payout-package-profits for those overworked elites.

Dual compensation, so to speak.

Keep working farm-boys, you've got some big bills to pay.

Mustardman:

I beg to differ on the handcuffs. In one case the RCMP went out to the farm, to serve the arrest warrent. The farmer in question begged them not to put the cuffs on in front of his wife and small children. Sorry they went on. Just because he sold his own grain.

[cropduster]

OOhh,now Jack......`they broke the law`,don`tcha know.It`s donkeys like the mustardman that ran Auschwitz too.Then after it was public they said`they sure didn`t mean it`.Sure wouldn`t want anyone a breakin` the law!!!

[mustardman]

Cropduster don't be lumping me in with Steve, Chuck and Davids group

[katoe]

Taxpayers should pay his severance .The feds are going to fire him not the farmer directors.

[TOM4CWB]

Mustardman,

Interesting you bring the points up about "maximising returns" "single desk" CWB "Monopoly".

I challenge you to find even ONE of these words in the CWB Act.

They are NOT there.

Section 32... is about us allowed to "offer" our grain...

Before 1993 the CWB "single desk" allowed those who needed to arbitage the world market with seed and ungraded feed grains the right to do so. Goodale put Customs recomendations in to stop growers at the border. "Instructions to the Trade" are for the CWB's agents... and should not apply to growers with their own produce... as this is "Agriculture"...

"Regulation of Trade and Commerce" which the CWB Act gets its authority from.

There is a massive hole and gap here... that even Goodale knows stinks!

Sorry Mustardman... the rip off Goodale started... isn't finished yet... and grain growers are the big loosers... not the trade, railways, unions, elevatior co's... Ports.... and on and on.

It is our loss... that the CWB can not be sanctioned and diciplined as it was before 1993.
