Now four of the eight that were in favour of the board have been offered much higher paying jobs by the federal government elsewhere. Their replacements, picked by the federal government, are not in favour of single desk. So now the split is 6 - 4 in favour of the federal conservatives.

How's that for underhanded bullshit! What a fucking snake!

Yeah it is not cricket but neither is the Senate.

Would someone please explain to me what the problem would be if a farmer had the choice whether or not to use the CWB or to sell their product on their own?

Fallicy.

The Board can remain, and the requirement to sell to the board can be removed.

Fallicy.

There is single desk, and there is open market. In between does not exist.

Ha! I see your double fallicy and raise you an incongruity! Fair markets and free markets can not co-exist!

But the incongruity already exists! West of Manitoba, farmers must sell to the board, while East of Manitoba they do not.

I'm just saying level the field. If farmers feel they will get a better deal pooling their grains, let them. For the Conservatives to stack the board, and dismantle it is pointless. The Board already has the markets, and is known worldwide as the biggest grain consortium.

The point is plain, they don't want something that works when they can replace it with a corporate version that pays them. As long as they can find a bidder that will pay them to do it there will always be a push to ditch the wheat board even if the Farmers get screwed as a result. If the Wheat Board gives an inch they will take a mile and they know it that’s why they can’t back down because the next step removes them outright.
