Yet you made the comparison between public and private pools.Yes it does. Regulated and unregulated seperates the apples from the oranges.
I used the word exactly..both are pools. One is in your favour the other is willy nilly.Yet you made the comparison between public and private pools.
Are you always so contradictory in your thought processes?
Have you seen the size of an ON or PQ grain operation? Wal*Mart has bigger parking lots.As an Urban Prairie Boy, I admit that I know next to nothing about the CWB, beyond
the fact that the Prairie Farmers HAD TO use it or face prosecution, but the Farmers
in Quebec& Ontario could use it but didn't HAVE TO.
Lots of different opinions on the topic, depending who you're talking to though....
Tell that to the newspapers and media that refer to them as such. I'm sure they'll alter their stories to satisfy the nitpick. :lol:
It will not be a good thing for the farmers, and most of them understand that.
Monopolies (cartels) are not a good thing.
Are you from western Canada? Where I live, I would say it is a 80/20 split in favour of a voluntary wheat board. I have no idea about the pros and cons but I figure if 80% of the people I know in the industry are for it, it probably is in their benefit. My question is why has it worked in Eastern Canada or have all the wheat farmers disappeared because they are not required to use the wheat board?
That really depends on what you are trying to do. I'm no expert on the food production system but one has to admit that it isn't like most other industries. I can choose not to buy most products but I can't choose to not buy food. This issue is not just about the farmer or the farm corporations.
Actually you can at least to some extent. About one third of the vegetables we eat in a year are grown in my garden. You can hunt and fish and raise chickens and grow fruit trees, but granted there are some things you have to buy like coffee and pineapples.
You do understand about the "royal we"?
Since when has artificial price fixing been in the consumers favour?You don't seem to like willy nilly and you don't like regulated in your favour.

Will you need more than an hour to post that in the right thread?If yoo kneed mower than wun ower to ficks yer messtakes, yoos has ishyews.
Of course. The higher freight and storage will be passed on to the consumer. If everybody moves to the food sources then food will be cheaper. Has fuel been dropping in price lately?It will be interesting to see if the farmers do get to make more money. Personally, I think they'll be on the losing end, but we'll see.
