Bill Toews Draws Record Crowd

[Fransisco]

According to the 'Manitoba Collaborator' a grand total of <b>three</b> farmers showed up to Bills 'accountability' meeting in Arborg.

[Fransisco]

Yup, that grassroots support is something to behold.

[Fransisco]

A whole article devoted to Bill's ranting and ravings but not one question along the lines of 'so where are the farmers Bill?'

Some top notch reporting going on there at the collaborator.

Where are all the farmers who DON'T support the CWB? Could it be there aren't that many (similar to the size of the WCWGA and WCBGA memberships).

CWB supporters probably dont go to these meetings, afterall, they are already satisfied with the way things are, or they maintain an open dialog with CWB staff and directors throughout the year.

Come on Frisco, you should know better than most, that it is the nay-sayers that show up to these type of meetings i.e. environmental meetings, clean environment commission meetings/hearings, water stewardship meetings.... who are the groups that show up to these?

Mr. Hin;

I believe you have done yourself a disservice again.

How many meetings do you think I went to Mr. Hin? ()

Thats right... and many folks who would have gone in the past... exactly like me... ()

THis is all about the "single desk"... and I have no interest at all in the retoric.

In Killam I am told Chairman Ritter was well exposed to a good crowd of those who are fed up with the unprofessional manner in which the CWB is now being managed.

It was good to hear that those other than the old standbys like me are now expressing their disatisfaction here in Alberta.

Eventually Tom, you find something negative about everything. If this were biblical times, you would have been the "cast-er" of the first stone. You may deny it, but we all know where your coming from.

[cottonpicken]

Benny thats a complete lie!!!!

One time i went cruisin with Tom and I said "heh look hookers should we throw some stones or pick them up and he said pickem up"!

Franny i believe you ment "yep" not "yup"

hiding behind his kids at the www.savemycwb.ca
website.
Go to the rats in the grain section and find out what kind of class this group shows.
I too was at the rally in Saskatoon if that's the kind of group you want to associate with, your kids are not long for agriculture. Doom and Gloom only the Government will save us.
at least they link to http://kis.usask.ca/
a site put out by the U of S it's pretty weak on the analysis of the studies put out by the Uni. paid for by the CWB.
I think you can get a copy of the Sparks rebuttal at the Barley grower's WBGA website.
I would hope the Wilogro's and lakenheaths of this site would comment on the www.savemycwb.ca website and the class they show

[Fransisco]

Nope, I meant [URL="http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/yup "]yup.[/URL]

Okay Benny, nobody cares one way or another.

Doesn't sound like there's a reason for it to exist then does it?

[TOM4CWB]

mR. Hin

gOOD DIVERSION.

Must have been a conservative shadow pass your way today... I am the lucky soul you want to knock off today?

I'm ready to go to the other side of life... are you?

I can't cast a stone because I am as guilty as anyone else in failing to honour my neighbour... ALL the time!

How about you mR. hIN!

It is a beautiful day here in TO... could be fun the next couple of days!

Too bad you weren't here mR. hIN!

just_wondering,

I checked out the website, and I guess I have to borrow a friend's unforgettable expression:

www.savemycwb.ca website is crazier than a hundred head of sheep.

That was a good one Cotton. Speaking of "picking them up", it appears to me that there is a correlation between excessive farm meeting attendance and "picking up stones" on the road.

You know the old saying, "what goes on the road (doesnt) stay on the road".

How much are these excessive meeting attendees actually learning... that is about agriculture? mmmh?
