"In late May the Friends of Canadian Wheat Board (FCWB) was once again in court, asking that the Manitoba Court of Queen's Bench certify a class action lawsuit to regain more than $152 million owed farmers for the final payment from Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) grain sales for the 2010-2012 crop years. At that time the federal Conservatives were dismantling the CWB and apparently diverting funds that were meant for farmers. Farmers never received all of their final payment. The Manitoba court will rule in a few months."
I do not believe there was one Canadian other than those in the CPC who agreed with the sale of the CWB but that is what we get when we vote for a party hell bent on privatization. Far to many Canadians have bought into the propaganda that the private sector can run a leaner meaner corporation better than a Crown Corporation with appointed CEO's can. That is outright "bullshit" and we are seeing it in real time with all the sales instituted by conservatives both federally and Provincially. The people are paying a premium for what was once theirs.
