  4. The single desk is dead, but right wing hypocrisy of the small dead teabaggin’ variety is still alive and well. It is still single desk, one stop shopping for all of your rural conservative welfare bum freeloading requirements. We don’t need no stinkin’ welfare bum farmers.

  5. Jailing western Canadian farmers for marketing their own produce is a blot on the history of Canada.
    The shackles of communism have been loosened in Canada.
    Thanks to Stephen Harper and his free market conservatives.
    Now, get competition into Doctor and Unionized Canadian “health care,” Stephen!

  6. Oh phil go blow it out your a$$
    You act like farmers do nothing to recieve if any federal support for thier down years of farming . When in fact monopolies like the CWB have been raping farmers for decades i call it about fair!!!
    Not only that phil the cwb thought it was wise to take pooled money that they raped from farmers and buy fancy speed boats , and all sorts of little goodies for themselves.
    You are and always ahve been a small brain dead animal!!

  7. Well Ken, the day finally arrived, thankfully. Somewhere I can hear Paul Martin sobbing, the money from the boat loads of wheat shipped on CSL ships through the Port of Churchill a year just might go elsewhere now instead into a thieving liberals pockets. People better sell their CSL shares if there is such a thing. The wheat board has been nothing but a slush fund for eastern rich liberal families for years, mercifully Harper is one by one getting rid of the vestiges of stinking liberalism in Canada, this is a great Aug. 1. Let the wailing from the Toronto Starwipe and Globe/CBC begin. And Phil, you are terminally stupid, without a doubt, your a liberal.

  8. I met someone who claimed to be a Vice President of the CWB a few years ago in a downtown restaurant, when he and his wife were passing through my border town. Yakked over a couple of drinks. He was an academic, a hobby farmer — and a screaming, world class A-hole.
    He Thought all of life began and ended with government, and his expense account. He was part of the Liberal party mafia and loving it. Here’s hoping his life is less well expensed today.

  9. Between 2006 and 2011, another 7377 farms ceased operations. There are now less than 37000 farms in Sask and less than 1/3 the farms that there were in 1943, when the CWB was made compulsory. Yes Phil, the CWB has been entirely successful in weeding out those “welfare queen farmers”.

  10. Great news! Cheers!
    I hope all you farmers make tons of bucks!

  11. On a scale of 1 to 10 just how good does it feel to be free lads?
    owl @ 8:20 said “part of the Liberal party mafia and loving it” Why is it that the MSM continues to yap about a 16$ glass of orange juice when Liberals have made off with billions upon billions everywhere they can get their mitts on taxpayer/producer money and barely a peep about it?

  12. So the Wheat Board has “streamlined its business model” and is optimistic about the future. One wonders what all the kicking and screaming was all about. I guess when you are spending someone elses money, you don’t have to worry about efficiency in your operations. Perhaps if they streamlined their model years ago and offered more flexible options to farmers, all this would not have been needed.

    Teabagging?
    I don’t think Anderson Cooper reads this blog.

  15. Next up, egg marketing board, milk marketing board, etc. We need to dump this stupidity to the curb

    Would love that,but they are even more firmly entrenched then the CWB was.They are,after all,in the leftard domains of Morontario,and Queerbec. But then the east seems happy with them.At least in AB,we can still buy eggs local,and at better prices than the stores offer.

  17. When in fact monopolies like the CWB have been raping farmers for decades
    The only ones getting raped are taxpayers
    You act like farmers do nothing to recieve if any federal support
    Because they don’t. That’s why they are welfare bums.
    The only question is why is there such support for this criminal waste from those who preach free enterprise. But that’s why you are hypocrites.

    Aye. But the demand will have to come from consumers.
    I can’t see any government – provincial or federal – having the balls to tackle the dairy/egg marketing boards on any grounds , let alone use the argument that it’s all about giving the producers freedom of choice.

  20. Whenever I read the farming threads here, I always manage a chuckle when I think of one poster – the one with a namesake (and possible relative) in Puxastawney, PA – actually working on a farm during harvest when reports of bad weather a few days off come in. I wonder if he would have enough energy to spout “welfare bums” after 18 straight hours on the combine?
    My estimate is that the typical working farmer does more physical labour in one week than the average welfare recipient in Trawna or Vancouver does in a year; it’s not that hard to drag yourself from the welfare office to the cheque cashing place to your dealer to the local Insite, but it probably is a few hours of walking.

  21. By any chance is the Saskatchewan grain farm that PM Harper is to visit today located in Delisle?
    It just doesn’t get any better if Kate meets the PM!

  22. Good riddance to the enforced monopoly or monopsony,whatever it’s called.
    The comments at the link are particularly disappointing,as several of the commenters who claim they ARE farmers speak fearfully of the end of the CWB,and don’t seem to understand the simplest fact,the CWB still exists,membership has become voluntary.
    Have people become SO propagandized they believe only government can run anything well? If the average farmer thinks like the members of the CWB,it’s indicative of a much harder road to plow for Harper and conservatism than even a cynic (me) had thought.
    Does the average Canadian really believe in big government as a parental substitute? Do Canadians actually believe big government is the solution to all life’s problems?
    To paraphrase renowned philosopher Homer Simpson,(speaking of beer) “government is the cause of and the solution to all the world’s problems”.
    I guess a lot of people believe the latter part.

  23. This is a day of days. But the CWB still not only still exists but gets loan guarantees for 5 years. That and ethanol and other farmers subsidies and marketing boards and tariffs…this is not enough.

  25. My estimate is that the typical working farmer does more physical labour in one week than the average welfare recipient in Trawna or Vancouver does….
    And your estimate would be completely in error, because you don’t have a clue. ET knows more about farming than you do.

  26. “Phil you should go on a farm boycott!”
    May I suggest a 4-6 month hunger strike?
    I was going to post, “Cue the philtroll slagging farmers in 5…4…3… but couldn’t be bothered. What happened anyway, Doofus? Did you result from Ma’s unexpected romp in the hay with a farmer, who deserted you at birth?
    Your hatred of farmers is almost pathological, Dude. You could probably get help for it, if, you know, you wanted to stop appearing as a deranged A-hole every time the conversation involved farmers.
    Something to consider, perhaps.

  28. Your hatred of farmers is almost pathological, Dude.
    Where ever did you get the idea that I hate farmers? Parasites and hypocrites, of which SDA has more than a fair share, I do find detestable. Why do you so many of you engage in the practice?

  30. Whenever you read a few pro-CWB comments anywhere, very soon you see in them an opinion that corporations will take over family farms or otherwise intrude in the grain market.
    Because their real target of hatred is corporations, you know it’s the ideological socialists that oppose farmers’ rights in grain marketing.
