Well, Justin Trudeau isn’t a former drama queen, I mean, former drama TEACHER for nuthin’, ya’ know.

The answer to the question “Why should I sell your wheat?”
Because you will send me to jail if I sell my own.
It’s Dijon canola.
Cut him some slack….he’s finally working for the “oil industry”, out here.

To tell the truth I have trouble distinguishing the difference between Polish Canola and Yellow Mustard.
It’s no permanent solution but on this issue China and Canada have agreed to kick the can down the road until 2020 so we’ll eagerly take that good news because there hasn’t been much good from this government.
It really doesn’t matter… EXCEPT. If it had been Stephen Harper’s error in the photograph, it would have made top headlines on CTV news network, and on the indistiguishable-from-it CBC news network.
How do you mean “periodically”?
The story on realagriculture had the tweet (well half of it) is the image of the story (the way their website looks you couldn’t tell at first) but it is almost garbage so I played with the url until I got their original screenshot they took.

Whoa! Thanks for that link. I never knew of that site.
Ok guys, lets put a lid on our leftist-CBC behaviour patterns right here!!
Pierre Trudeau never said ”Why should I sell your wheat?” in a sense that the media reported it. He said it to a group of farmers, with intentions of getting a discussion going on failing wheat prices. (Dec. 13-1968 at a Liberal meeting in Winnipeg.)
Canola and mustard,, looking at a photograph, and even when driving down the grid at 60 MPH look a lot the same when in bloom. And I’ve lived on the prairie for 66 years.
As for the LAV III, those types of vehicles don’t have a grill and a hood ornament like the Dodge RAM or the F-150. . As a matter of interest, looking at the most popular military vehicle ever built (except the horse) that we all know as a ”Jeep” was not always a Jeep, that was built by Willys during WWII, and would later become a trademark for American Motors. Many Jeeps were built by Ford Motor Company and other manufacturers and looked identical to the Willys version.
Few people raised in downtown Montreal or Toronto could identify Canola from Mustard, or a LAVIII from the almost identical STRYKER used by US Army. But on the other hand, when I travel to Ottawa, I have a hard time telling the gangsters and the prostitutes apart from the politicians!!

Hmm That is very similar to the REAL comments of a GM board member. Ross Perot
He said the Gangsters & Prostitute where better dressed than GM Board members
“popular military vehicle ever built (except the horse) that we all know as a ”Jeep” was not always a Jeep”
We had one and only one word for Ford light utility vehicles – Jeeps. I think I drove 1966, 1967, and 1973 varieties.
Keep in mind that the term “Jeep” is a contraction of the term “GP”. Those were the initials for “General Purpose”, the actual description of the vehicle and it came into popular use during WW II.
Once the war ended, many veterans wanted to have a Jeep as they saw how useful they were, so they bought surplus vehicles. I’m not sure about the details, but a commercial version of the Jeep was eventually introduced to meet the demand. The military model was built for many years until it was replaced by the HMMWV, better known as the Humvee, in the early 1980s.
During WW II, it wasn’t unusual to have a certain vehicle or aircraft which was designed by one manufacturer to be built by an additional firm, perhaps even a competitor. The purpose was to increase their production, even if it meant farming that out to several companies that were capable of doing so.
Related.a seaking rust bucket has been circling Victoria all afternoon for security for the royal visit. It’s be safer if it stayed at base. Another liberal legacy.
It’s easy to tell a prostitute from a politician. One provides an agreed to service for a fixed fee. And the other is going to screw you.
“Pierre Trudeau never said ”Why should I sell your wheat?” in a sense that the media reported it. He said it to a group of farmers, with intentions of getting a discussion going on failing wheat prices”
Yes, but when Trudeau used that rhetorical question, he knew damn well that farmers by law had 1 vendor only for their wheat, and that was the government wheat board. Any defiance of the law had serious consequences for desperate farmers who were sitting on rotting piles of wheat and had no alternative way to market the stuff.
The reason that old line has come up is Trudeau junior’s take on pipelines. Stating that it is not his job to be a cheerleader for pipelines is strikingly close to his father’s attitude towards those western peasants who have the audacity to mark their ballots for the non-Liberal candidate.
Well done.
I’ll pass it on and amaze my friends, at how smart I am!
A moot point today but in 1968 wheat growers in western Canada had only one market available to sell into. Eastern producers could sell into any available market.
The Libranos liked that setup. It took a Conservative government until 2012 before conditions were in place where western farmers were treated as equals with their eastern counterparts.
You and abtrapper have it exactly right. Harper got rid of the Soviet style Wheat Board. You have it right about Trudeau not doing anything that might advance moving oil to port, and in fact, considering the eco wackjobs he has surrounding him, will do the reverse and try to shut oil down.
And the clowns in charge of Lil Tater-heads tweet account are costing us about $600,000. Gotta love the brains behind who’s running this country. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_b-Qv3c98LM
Sorry, this comment was meant for the Hinterland thread. I thought I canceled it before it was posted.

Tell me about it. At that time, my family owned a filling station and bulk fuel outlet that included a farm chemical and fertilizer outlet. Farmers were desperate, and we traded wheat for various products. The CWB actually had spotters running up and down the grid roads looking for ”bootleggers” who bought black market wheat and disposed of it in Alberta and Manitoba feedlots. We lived near the US border, sometimes we’d sneak the odd load to Montana.
My Dad had a 1948 Ford 3 ton and a 37 foot Sakundiak 6” grain auger. He sent my bro and I to a farm to get 3 loads (900 bus) of wheat to pay for a 230 cu in Chevy rebuilt engine. The wheat was stored in an old barn with rats running along the rafters. My bro (14 years old) feared rats more than he feared Satan. He dreamed about those damned rats for two years after the last load. When there were more than 3 loads, we’d hire a guy with a B-61 Mack Tandem and two ”shovelers.”
As for Trudeau, my father in law was a Liberal supporter in the 70’s. He attended farm meetings all over Western Canada–he swore that Trudeau never meant that statement to be offensive. I think the records show the same. And I didn’t mean to ridicule anyone by writing what I did, however as much as I despise the Trudeaus, I would not expect a PM who was raised in the city and with no military of agricultural background to know canola or military vehicles.
Interesting story.
My Dad was a staunch Ross Thatcher Liberal. Ross balanced the books in the toughest economic conditions going all the way back to the thirties. Fat lot of good it did him. When the NDP took power in 1971 they doubled spending in a few months and Ross Thatcher was soon dead from a heart attack.
It is entirely possible that PET didn’t mean for that statement to be offensive but Dad remembers PET could be arrogant; like the time he told the assembled Thatcher Liberals that they should quit trying to be like a version of the Conservative party.
PET made voting Liberal an untenable option and that is the way things are to this day; except for the few die-hard Liberals like Ralph Goodale.
“During WW II, it wasn’t unusual to have a certain vehicle or aircraft which was designed by one manufacturer to be built by an additional firm, perhaps even a competitor. The purpose was to increase their production, even if it meant farming that out to several companies that were capable of doing so.”
Not only increase production, but also provide continual production should the unthinkable happen and the original manufacturing company were destroyed by an attack on the mainland.
