Didn't want to derail another thread.
Although it set me to a rambling muse.
Some history.
An acquaintance was on a trade mission to Asia somewhere for the canola industry a few decades ago.
About the time they absorbed Wild Rose.
The NFU was along.
His budget put everyone up at a Y with the cafeteria for meetings. (His story).
The NFU budget had the hospitality suite, top floor at the Four Seasons.
Largest funder, the Quebec Dairy Farmers. Guess where all the dignitaries went LoL.
During other meetings in the same role, he always talked of free trade. And was told no, Canada isn't because of, you guessed it.
Either way, the goal of freezing Quebec dairy in time is crumbling, however slowly.
Anyone involved in the Wheat Civil War has stories of NFU members acting similarly to the loudest, most uncivil, lockdown protester.
So, they are no different than anyone else.
There are hundreds of stories that sadly won't get written about that War. So much the beneficiary's won't know. So much yet to do. So much squandered.
The NFU should never dare to point fingers. And a well rounded history including the money needs telling.
The next generation needs to wake the hell up. Every year there are telling proclamations from Ottawa.
Heralding both the source, and future direction.
