Quoting BitWhys

If you say so. Maybe if Strahl hadn't wasted two seasons trying to pull a fast one the cause wouldn't be sitting on square one again.

Get a proper vote on a proper plan (ie. WITHOUT retaining the Part III guarantees) and take it to Parliament. and good luck with that.

Nice try. The wheat board is not working in the interests of farmers because of Strahl.BS, NOTHING HAS CHANGED YET. The wheat board is not working because it is a faulty mechanism,not because farmers want to change it. On the other hand you may be right.the wheat board isn't helping farmers because they are in a petulant snit. How dare those farmers tell us what they want. We know what is best for them.

There's nothing stopping Harper from bringing the results of that plebiscite to Commons. Strahl wasted everybody's time with his undemocratic shenanigans.

Sure,allowing farmers to vote on thier livelihood is so undemocratic. I doubt if even the libs have the parts to vote against the farmers wishes in the HofC,NDP maybe,but they are more than a little out of touch.

You will have to wait until at least the 17th. Dag nab it,granpa have some patience. And before you say it,I know I could use this time to find the missing 40 million,but that is for a rainy day when I am up to poring through reams of boredom to find the diamond.
