I'm confused... Are you saying that the producers in Eastern Canada are too small for the CWB and applying the same system on them (as in Western Canada) would crush them?

No their market is too small and CWB is protecting it from western producers dumping huge amounts of #1 and 2 Hard and malting barley slamming the farmgates on their tiny little parking lot sized operations in ON and PQ.
Their market is mainly feed and which is wide open for me as well. I may as not even try growing the best grain on this tiny little spec of the universe and aim for feed grade too.
Why bother getting "added value" by investing in the most advanced nutrient tech, landrace gentetic breeding, and enhanced soil mangement, crop managemet systems and constantantly losing seedable acres to watershed management all on the roll of the dice to weather so I don't produce the best to get the best dollar on the international market without any hassles?
Why do they want me to kill off ON and PQ's operations? What did ON and PQ producers do to me to deserve me doing that to them?
How is this coming along these days? Last time I headed to the Beaches it was still a wasted lump of concrete.

I figured words like "national" and "Canadian" answered your question. And the link I provided...

;-)Pro-CWB farmers dump wheat in front of MP's office
AN unknown group of pro-Canadian Wheat Board farmers dumped a tonne of wheat in front of Brandon-Souris Conservative MP Merv Tweed's office Friday morning to protest the federal government's plan to end single-desk marketing of wheat and barley.
While another group of farmers spoke to Tweed's staff at about 9:30 a.m., a truck pulled up, passengers jumped out and dumped the grain, which is worth almost $300. They left shortly afterwards.

Bravo.
Was it someone we know? ;-)

You sure did just answer the question with nothing more than a weak deflection.
It appears that you feel that comparing 2 different entities where one operates across the nation equally and the other forces 1/2 of the country to comply and allows for the 'option' for the other 1/2 of the nation as equal comparisons?
Thanks for the laugh... I owe ya
Of course it would. He didn't sign a contract and can't prove the genetics.
1/2 the nation? Which half?
I am not comparing the two you... Go back and read the thread. You said the government was refraining from something (do you remember yet?) and then I said that they actually were not, exemplified by the marketing boards which still have legislated power. Then you asked some questions and I gave you all the information you would need to answer for yourself.
Jesus you're slow. You might want to consider taking daily doses of B12:

Sh*t or get off the pot champ... You were the one that thought it wise to involve an unrelated body. If you're now claiming that there is no comparative element, why bring it up in the first place?
Sometimes I wonder if it's intentional, if you were born this way, or if you had some sort of massive head trauma...
With the Global Free Markets in absolute chaos, lurching from crisis to crisis.. with Canada's industrial and agricultural economies in precipitous decline.. this little ass wipe Harper continues to grovel before his masters in the IMF, WTO, World Bank who are dictating a world of market driven forces from which only a few grotesquely rich oligarchs in trade and finance will profit.
Essentially the Wheat Board protected the farmers from the roller coaster of commodity prices that drove farmers to the brink in the Great Depression. At the same time it protected the long term viability of Canadas grain producing infrastructure by levelling the short term, and panic driven prices during shortages and gluts of crops.
We really are being led by a weakling in Harper, a petty ideology, a shill and quisling for Global oligarchs. And there are enough people out there who want to profit, short term, at the expense of the country as a whole that he is getting away with it. The outcome long term will be decimation of Canada's grain producing ability.. and starvation.

So.. What you're really doing his seeking shelter behind the same shyte argument you always use; that being selective information that is entirely without any context to the base discussion.
Lemme guess, next you'll fall back on your stand-by strategy and start debating the alternate uses of the words 'and, but & or' to argue your losing position.
Oh, boy - I can hardly wait.
I don't have to fall back on anything. I wasn't comparing the two you dumbass...you seem to think that I was, when in fact I was simply saying that the government is not choosing to refrain from legislating competitive advantages. If that were so, they would have done away with the other marketing boards as well.
Run along now and don't bump into anything with sharp edges. Actually maybe it's best that you don't run.

.... By using 2 examples that are entirely opposites?
Normal people use different examples as a comparison to support a position. Clearly your OCD combined with your ADHD are fogging your already tiny intellectual capabilities.
Stick to being a salmon fluffer. Ya know, something you're good at...:razz::razz:
Entirely opposite? Both are marketing boards of agricultural products, with legislated authority. You fail again. Familiar words I imagine.
Sorry Ton, but that's f!ckin' funny!
I've never denied that he's funny. Though most of the time it's unintentional, and the credit for this one-liner actually belongs to Petros.
It should be noted that a nation that cannot feed itself or control its own food supply
is a nation in crisis without knowing it. Yes food is like an essential service and we
need to maintain a Canadian advantage for our producers. The Chinese are buying
up farmland in several countries because the know a future food shortage is coming.
I have no problem with a Canadian advantage for farmers. Besides the managed
marketing system is a good one for all commodities and should be encouraged.
Competition is one thing but it should be remembered the government has sold out
agriculture at every set of free trade talks and soon there will be a shortage of farmers
period. Young people are not getting into the industry. Increasing middle classes in
other countries will buy up our quality food from farms in this country that they own
Canadians will be out of the farm business. The governments will be paying lip service
to agriculture and paying out for industry programs to foreign farmers.
It is unfortunate that some people can't see beyond the end of their nose until it is too
late to take action. If the general public only knew how much trouble they were in food
wise, but hey, Canadians wait to the last minute right?
I hope the farmers are successful, if not our grain industry will be destroyed likely by the
Americans.
I make no bones about it I am trying to get managed marketing or supply management for
the tree fruit industry across this country. I know it will be resisted by the Tories, but I think
with their majority, four years from now their popularity will have crested and who knows
who will form government. The Wheat Board is doing the right thing here.
