How many have printed off and read the CWB annual report?

I really like the full page, full colour pictures of the directors. But they really should be fold out posters that I can hang in my shop. And there needs to be vital information added such as favourite colour, which astrological sign they are, and personal likes and dislikes.

Favourite colour: Liberal Red

Sign: Cancer

"I like taking long walks in expensive Calgary Hotels with 150 CWB fans who share my sloppy love affair with the single desk and tell me how wonderful I am.

I dislike 101 flavour ice cream shops. As far as I'm concerned their should be just one flavour " Vanilla". If need be you can add chocolate, but 101 flavours is just too much choice for any one person to have to deal with. "

Go to the CWB page, and try to download 07-08 CWB AnnualReport pdf. I tried three times. It says File is damaged and cannot be repaired. fran, send me a copy of your pdf so I can compare.

It's odd that "the file is damaged"

thanks, pars

btw,Is there such a thing as "audit to go" updates? Maybe drive-throughs in the new building on Main Street? LOL Pars

Yes, the Competition Bureau will closely monitor the situation...what a laugh. I imagine the rancher/farmer will monitor it closely too, sas he gets royally ripped off.

Total BS.

If the deal is closed and XL owns the plant and associated feedyard, what is the bureau to do? It is too late. the division of the company means it is still owned by the same players.
I suspect NB will sell the Calgary real estate and use the cash to pay off the entire (and then some) debt incurred on the Lakeside purchase. Then there is no possibility of someone coming in and buying an operating plant. This would fit the modus operandi from some of their other ventures (anyone remember a retrofit to a pork plant in northern AB?).
The challenge is growing independent capacity and generating enough cooperation between interested producers to create a critical mass for value oriented marketing. In other words, I don't care who processes it, as long as it is done right and I can keep the portion I feel I deserve. That said, without competition the fee for service arrangement can become untenable.
(actually now that I recall, I own shares in a plant right now - LOL).

perfecho, you are absolutely right.

As for monitoring the situation, they're monitoring the situation regarding MCOOL too.

I guess we've got all the time in the world to wait for the situations to be monitored eh? There's no hurry eh?

geezzzz................

Lets just have an election and get it over with already.
