Can you believe it 86.2%for the CWB in one form or another .They should be estatic.But what are they doing anything they can to slow progress.What about the 48.4% that want them as a choice.Their not listening.

And never will.

What would the results been if there were only two questions?

1 Board
2 No board

Most here should be glad there were 3 questions.With 3 questions you can manipulate reality with your own perception.

Yea good thing their wasn't two questions being asked.
HAHA

The result would have been 60% NO CWB
40% want CWB.

Just back from three hectic weeks talking to farmers in Saskatchewan and its simple to spot the CWB supporter he is the one who is living on his interest from money he made in 1978 etc.
Or the young guy who doesn't understand whats happening with Agriculture and Farming plus its easy.

So yes they should have had just two questions and then how would the CWB supporters have judged the results. Like a true liberal they would have made up a committee and studied it till they were back in power.
Thank God its finally coming to a END!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

As the 3 question debate continues there are two things worth noting. The CWB has claimed that option 2 was not an option and had ample time and resources to get that point across. So with the strong response ( vote) for question 2 what does that tell us. One maybe is that producers do not believe the CWB assertion. The other point is that a vote for question 2 is making the point that producers realize that there are 2 sides to this argument and that while they want change they don't want to deny other producers who still want to work with the CWB. This is contrary to the view of the CWB who believes it is all or nothing and the only vision is there's.

And that the vote would have turned out so the majority wanted #2. Discredit the most likely response, seemed like a good strategy to me if one was in the position to protect one's job in Winnipeg!

So cotten, agstar et al, given the government does actually go ahead with this, would you make a malt contract with Canada Malt or any other real customer with an actual delivery date and price, or would you continue being a part of the mystery pool, signing a contract not knowing acceptance criteria, delivery date, or the price you will get?

What manipulation cp? The reality is 62% wanted market choice.
#1 allowed for no-one else to compete to BUY your grain.
#3 excluded the CWB as a competitor to buy your grain.
Question #2 allows the CWB to continue to compete in the barley market along with any other buyer. #2 option allows for the most grain buying competition, #1 the least.

My take on this: The #3 option gauged how many farmers are angry enough at the CWB that they’d sacrifice them as a large buyer just to get rid of them altogether. #3 would have carried the day though if the #2 question was missing.

I would have to disagree about that farm ranger the anti crowd had a lot further to go than the pro crowd for a majority.You guys can spin this all you want.

Personally i dont care one way or another what happens.This hardly effects the price of a globally traded commoditie.

It is amazing how much bad blood this topic is generating.

Your right on Farmranger. I voted #2 but had it been a choice between only #1 and #3 I would have voted #3 without hesitation.
