It now is in the hands of the Senate who hopefully will pass this legislation before Christmas.
Farmers are so happy and overwhelmed, a farmer from Red Deer teared up yesterday after the vote.

I sometimes wonder if those ndp/libs against this even knew what the CWB was before this bill was introduced. I am sure Peter M and Evan had no clue. I wonder if any ndp wannabe leaders will campaign on bringing it back, like they are on the gun thingy.

ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. When I saw that photo it made me a little weepy. It touched my heart. You see,I grew up on the farm,my Dad was a mixed farmer grain and livestock. So it hits a little home for me.

ReplyDeleteI know Noel. I went to school with him.
Good for you guys - The hypocrisy of Libs/Dips is unbelievable.
ReplyDeleteAnother injustice corrected by the Cons.

For us this is like finally getting to vote for a leader after years of dictatorship. Wait a sec that's exactly what we've had is a dictator telling us how to manage our business.
ReplyDeleteAnd just how much money and resources have been spent by our country trying to help other country get freedoms and rights? And yet here at home farmers have been forced to forgo the freedom to market/sell/export there own grain..
