Kevin Hursh Just doesn't Get It!

[sawfly]

no offence kevin , but i dont think hes had an original idea in his life.
kevin has jumped on every bandwagon there was in the past 20 years.
ostrich, emu ,elk. hog barns, the sask wheat pool destruction crew , etc.
that and wishy washey editorials where he tries to please everyone.
Never takes a stand, esp.if it might endanger his pocket book.He has been a trusted voice to deliver the corprate veiw.

[SASKFARMER3]

On a local radio show he comes on as the voice of agriculture in saskatchewan.
What a Joke.
He has been out of touch with reality for so long, as to whats happening in rural canada but its funny the people in the cities believe him.

[SASKFARMER3]

First - SASKFARMER CAIS started in 2003. So it don't know how you could go 0 - 4 when 2005 application are justing to be filled out. Try 0 - 2.

Second - I am a Chartered Accountant. And I don't enjoy doing CAIS. I do it because my clients request it. I know many CA firms that have opted not to do any CAIS applications. It is a waste of their time. Make more money doing other engagements. So it is not a cash cow for accountants. But rather a pain.

Third - I would like you to come up with the perfect farm program. I know many farmer who have done well with CAIS. It is the same for every program that comes out. Some peopel it doesn't work for.

Fourth - Make sure you have a good accountant. I have review CAIS applications where the farmer was going to get nothing and I got them close to $100,000 more than them expected. Many accountants don't know much about farming and make mistakes on the application. Or they just rush through them.

I believe a farmer would do a better job on the application than some accountants.

First of all I wont quallify for the Program again in 2005, Second their is a accounting firm in Saskatchewan taking 10% of what ever the farmer gets, then dumps them as a client.
Yes people got CASIP
SWP got 4.9 million and some large hog opperations got millions, Your points are respected but add in AIDA and the Others and you get my picture.
The program was designed by the Liberals to feed an Accounting firm.
Most farmers who got money got it because they lied or created companys where one took the grain and anouther had nothing.
the program was flawed and Yes give me the power to create a program and I would.
It would be the AMERICAN SYSTEM its tried and works not a make work program like we have in CANADA!
Have a great day!

lakenheath you sure you aren't Kevin hursh in disguise

[lakenheath]

No I am not Kevin Hursh (he is not an accountant). And I don't believe an American system is the solution as it is the problem. No sense fighting fire with fire. Our government can afford an American system. Neither can the Americans but they don't seem to mind being in trillions of dollars of debt. Many experts believe the American economy is on the brink of crashing. Why do you think commodities like gold and silver are sky-rocketing. If the States crashes, they fear wpaper money will be worthless.

Well if your not Kevin then you think like him. for years he has been preaching that the new way will work. yea it worked all right it made every single farmer in Canada a peasant, so if you want a country where its farmers are peasants then you succeeded but if you want a vibrant country start looking at whats not working and help change it. Saying people got money form CASIP is easy divide SWP 4.9 million into the amount of people who got a payout and you have a large average payout for Saskatchewan add in CArgil and phosberg etc and we know where the money went
