Budget

[cottonpicken]

I wonder if there will be any surprices?

After the last year i wouldnt attempt to guess what these guys will do.

Just curious.

How does the budget relate to "marketing of our commidities". We have enough threads running through this forum. Getting off topic does not help the clutter any.

[cottonpicken]

Are you retarded?

Did i just hear don newman say quebec will recieve 3 quarters of equalization payments?

[cottonpicken]

Gas guzzling vehicles going up 4000$ tommorrow.

Fu#kin cbc doesnt have their translator working.

[cottonpicken]

Capital gains exemption on farms increased to 750,000$.

But what the hell does this have to do with us eh lake?

[cottonpicken]

Looks like theres going to be an election over this.

[agstar77]

Les PQ have decided to support the budget as it it is too good to be true in Que. Mais Oui. Record spending, equalization to suck resources revenue out of Sask. and Alta. Your buddies have turned on you. How desperate are they for power?

[cottonpicken]

My buddies?

There will be an election because the conservatives want one not because of a vote of non confidence.The look on dion and laytons face said it all.Their screwed and they know it.

OK Hothead.

I was merely pointing out the fact that the "Budget Topic" is not "Commidity Marketing".

Yes the budget is very important and it impacts each and everyone of us. So does a cure for cancer, clean water and war.

I am just making a suggestion to keep to commodity marketing threads. There are plenty of great other places to post opinions on the budget.

Take a pill and calm down there guy.

Laken:heres the MAIN way in which the budget impacts marketing;every minute the Tories stay in power we move closer to a free market in grain.

Agstar,cotten and I watch the success of the Harper govt with trepidation.If they make Aug 1 POOF!Barley's gone.

This is what makes every inch of nat. politics relevant to this thread.

That,and the fact that the cwb is pretty much become an extension of the liberal party.A liberal bastion in Wpg.And,you can be sure they,ll all be doing everything in their power to beat them in the next election.

ATory majority or strong minority next time andPOOF wheat is free.

Ideally,wheat wouldn't be about politics.Maybe some day soon.

The 2007 budget makes available $1.5 billion over 7 years for an operating incentive program, which will be set at $0.10/litre for ethanol and $0.20/litre for biodiesel for the first three years and decline after that point.

Plants will start going up tomorrow this is exactly what was needed to make sure capacity is built north of the 49th
I did not hear if Farm machinery will be hit with that $4000.00 touch anybody know where the details can be found

I don't agree with the whole Kyoto deal but the part about fuel security in North America is working out in my favour

Until Agri-ville makes a policy forum this is the best I have. You did mention plenty of other places to discuss policy any links welcome

There was an item for a quick write-off of new production machinery, 2 yrs, which may be of use . Pick - up trucks exempt from the gas guzzler tax.

[SASKFARMER3]

The BioDiesel part was ok but did any one get a hint if they will pay the remaining 50% of the recalculation on CASIP. That is a major item worth millions to rural canada.
