A Wheat Board Crisis - Not A Farm Crisis

[TOM4CWB]

Carebear300,

What other company gets its authority to have a buying monopoly, have Agents of the government arrest growers who simply need to sell for the best price... thereby confiscating the wheat or barley they buy at the lowest possible price?

No other company that I know of is incorporated under "Regulation of Trade and Commerce" constitutional authority. THis is because it power to confiscate breaches both provincial and federal civil and property rights!

It therefore makes sense the Feds should appoint the President.

Does this help?

Thanks people as per usual I have become enlightened. Tom the only other organizations that operate in such a protected state are the chartered banks. The only difference is that they have a charter that quarantees them a huge profit. Or am I wrong again?

In Section 7 of the CWB Act, it tells us that as for for prices....the CWB only have to get what THEY think is "reasonable".


You get the picture, carebear300?

Carebear300,

The Canadian Grain Commission also operates under "regulation of trade and commerce" but the courts have ruled numerous times if Grain Act grades are not used... the CGC has no regulatory authority.
