I’d e-mail and ask her if it was alright to express my opinion. Undoubtedly, a free speecher such as herself would report me as a spammer. Then I’d have to go through the merry go round to get on the good lists and unblocked…
again.
Bureaucrats, gotta love them
petty regimes make petty queens.
slimball is as slimeball does.
FIRE. THEM. ALL.
How typical of the CWB – a communist organization excluding its critics.
wow, just wow.
Maureen Fitzhenry, please call the Obama Media Center. Your employment application has been accepted.
Ah yes, time for a Canadian Wheat Rights Board.
Harry should check his e-mail provider. It sounds like he’s been exchanging correspondence with the CHRC.
Fire them all. Raze this corrupt organization, it is rotten from the core – it never was any good, for anything. Why beat a dead horse?
Now I ask you, what grain farmer in his right mind would vote for this pathetic group of vindictive little kids selling their grain to the world market and running the multi-billion dollar CWB?
Vote freedom!
And give PM Harper an ironclad reason to make the neccesary changes to the CWB.
cwb needs to be gone,looks like huge losses coming to the farmer thanks to having an organziation like this subject to unions.The fact they dont want competition exposes their lack of concern for farmers.Stephen Harper please get rid of this piece of dung.

Dear Ms. Fitzhenry
Wow, like what former Iron Curtain Country Marketing Board is CWB trying to emulate?
Your recent note to Harry Siemans quoted below for reference.
“Harry: we reserve the right to invite or exclude any individuals or groups from our corporate events. We will not be accepting your registration.”
Good luck with this so 20th Century communications strategy.
Kind regards
Harry, too bad you missed a very interesting CWB “corporate event” a few weeks ago in the Winnipeg Federal Court and which the CWB could not stop you from attending. At this spectacle, the CWB fought tooth and nail against prairie farmers (represented by the Merchant Law Group) that prairie farmers should pay all the CWB administration costs.
Because the CWB Act requires the government to pay for such things as national licencing, which the CWB does on behalf of the government, the CWB relied on accountants and a farmer’s opinion for their legal argument.
If there is an appeal, it will be worth attending.
Am I the only one who finds it ironic that the CWB is being criticized for dealing with the media in a manner that appears to be straight out of Harper’s playbook.
No steve…you would be the only one that doesn’t see the difference between the CWB and PMO.
Dear Ms Fitzhenry,
Who do I direct my questions about Saddam Hussein’s Oil for Food program to?
Sincerely,
Australian Farmer
bluetech… please enlighten me on the differences between the PMO and the CWB and why restricting media access is OK for one and not the other. I just can’t understand how the ‘freedom-fighters’ on this blog aren’t appalled by the media handling tactics of PMSH.
One of you farmers have to take this scummy organization called the Wheat board to the human rights commission. This is a clear violation of the human rights of prarie farmers when they have to sell to the wheat board but the Ontario and Quebec farmers can sell to anyone, Canadian or American. Throw this right into the stinking lieberal trough for the pigs to wallow and fight over. This Canadian Wheat Board has been a lieberal slush fund since its inception, if it isn’t then OPEN THE BOOKS MS. Fitzhenry!
Oh that’s easy Steve…
You’re parroting a Liberal Party / CBC (sorry about the double there) talking point.
BRAWWWWK, BRRRRRAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWK…
Now give stevey his cracker….
BRRRRAAAAAAAWWWWWKKKKK
I’ll never understand the CWB. If single-desk marketing of wheat/barley/whatever was such matter of principle, then all farmers in Canada would be subject to CWB authority.
The fact that only Western farmers are tied to the CWB yolk suggests to me, clearly, this is a political entity with nothing but a political agenda.
Keep the CWB and make membership in it voluntary, but open it up to farmers across the nation. Let those farmers of a more entrepreneurial bent get on with their lives without the legal necessity to selling their product to a quasi-communist entity.
I shouldn’t bite, but..“bluetech… please enlighten me on the differences between the PMO and the CWB and why restricting media access is OK for one and not the other. I just can’t understand how the ‘freedom-fighters’ on this blog aren’t appalled by the media handling tactics of PMSH.”
You are suggesting that if the PM has a presser, he would/has banned say, the CBC and the Star from attending? Funny, every time I see PM Harper talking to the press I hear the harridan van Douchebag screeching over the crowd…….last time I looked she is still employed by the CBC
Where’s manny? Down buying his groceries from Safeway? You know.The groceries that WERE NOT produced by farmers!
Open the books now that they are no longer top secret. Is the CWB and the government a shill for big business. We feed you for little and you give us all your oil and minerals.
“Canadians prescribed marijuana to treat illness will have more choice in where to buy their drugs after a court ruling Monday that ends the federal govt’s monopoly on supplying medical marijuana to patients.”
“In January, a federal court judge struck down the one to one ratio as unconstitutional and unnecessary restrictive.” – Canwest.
So let me get this straight.
A federal court rules that the anti-democratic, anti-libertarian and restrictive monopoly of restricting grain sales to the CWB (ie the federal govt) is OK to apply to western farmers only.
But another federal court ruling says that restricting patients who need/use medical marijuana to only buying from one supplier (ie the federal govt) is against the law and patients rights.
And even more amazing is that a Liberal spud farmer from the east and a city slicker from downtown Winnipeg still think the totalitarian corporate CWB rights to the monopoly supercedes the individual rights of western farmers.
This is a great example of MPs not knowing their axle from a hole in the ground.
Fire. Them. All.
