Agricore/SWP

"Maybe you and your buddies should buy some of the assets that will be for sale and give them to the CWB and then you can perpetuate the 70 year old thinking that goes on at the CWB"

Forget it, the CWB is toast.

As far as the Crow Benifit, I took the money which was about 1/20 th of what we should have received, but had no choice. Darned fools. It wasn't just the SWP that wanted the Crow killed, the Alberta gov't spent millions lobbying for its demise. Ernie Isley was our Ag minister at the time, IMO another darned fool..

Killing the "Crow" was the last thing on SWP mind. Alberta wanted it gone but it became a line item in the budget for the Liberals and it was gone. Ernie may have been there lobbying for end but with a goal getting an equitable settlement and allowing compettive advantage to work.

You are lucky that you got 1/20th. We had all our own land in things that didn't qualify and most of our landlords pocketed the money.But that is water under the bridge.

Well boys this is my theory on the SWP/AGRICORE merger. In my opinion I think we should look at the ceo of the pool, remember who he used to work for? Thats right , Conagra! Now call me crazy, but wouldn't it be the easy way for our good ol boys to the south to sneak in the back door after swp, agricore haved merged and then buy out the entire outfit? Lets also remember that good ol Mayo hired on a few of his Conagra buddies over the years. Just my thoughts and theories.

Galaxie,

Why would Conagra want to own it... when they can use our facilities at less than the real cost?

If the concrete can be bought at fire sale prices... that is a logical reason to buy... I wouldn't be calling anything at these prices.... CHEAP...

$20/share is a good deal... double what a reasonable person would have expected for these shares... a very short time ago!

I'll be happy to see Agrisnore bite the bullet, dealing with SWP is a pleasure compare the the crap Agrisnore kept trying to sell us. Agrisnore deserves to go out of business!

Debating wether I should sell my AU shares. I sure do not want any SWP shares, after this is over they will be worth less than bathroom tissue.

Bathroom tissue, LOLOLOL, I will be using that one.
