Now the conservatives are once again promising pie in the sky "Freedom". Well, there's a song that says it all, "Freedoms just another word for nothin left to lose."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6227077066630812976.post-76222973355753960242011-07-08T11:06:34.318-05:002011-07-08T11:06:34.318-05:00When I think of the Wheat board beaurocrats it rem...When I think of the Wheat board beaurocrats it reminds me of the line from the movie "Blazing Saddles"......"How are we gonna protect our phony balony jobs"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6227077066630812976.post-16066774402336253742011-07-07T19:16:17.202-05:002011-07-07T19:16:17.202-05:00I just saw a piece where the Manitoba government s...I just saw a piece where the Manitoba government supports a producers' plebiscite. No surprise there! Isn't the best plebiscite of all one in which the producers decide whether (or not) to sell their grain to the CWB? In my experience, most government bureaucrats couldn't run a piss-up at a brewery. I would lump the CWB in with the aforementioned.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6227077066630812976.post-20119353821059977722011-07-07T15:51:12.698-05:002011-07-07T15:51:12.698-05:00Reason #11.

It's simple, really: the Board bureaucrats want to hang on to their jobs, whatever the cost to the producers.

I am proud that Saskatchewan Farmers have developed the business acumen to purchase these machines and make them pay the bills. To shackle them to an outdated marketing system managed by a Board of ideologues is the greatest insult of all.Hermitnoreply@blogger.com
