To the Editor:
I just read Kevin recent Hursh's commentary about the Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) election. I don't always agree with Kevin's view, but I have to in regards to this slate of candidates in the CWB election.
The anti-CWB, or dual market, candidates in this election are not showing their true colours. They are hoping to get elected, and then destroy the single desk of the Canadian Wheat Board from within!
I also have to agree that the anti-CWB candidates are being coached by the same person or organization. Why do I have this thought?
The answers in their bios about the single desk marketing are similarly misleading and vague. Fellow farmers, beware of the wolf in sheep's clothing.
The anti-single desk candidates over the years have not received the support among farmers that they have bragged to have had. So, they are now trying to trick undecided farmers by hiding the fact that they do not believe in or support single desk marketing.
Farmers remember we lost the Crow Rate, we also lost the greatest grain coop in the world when we lost the Sask Wheat Pool.
We were duped by the same thinking dual marketing people in years gone by. Lets not be fooled again.
