After the CBC segment there seems to be some controversy over the phrase "you are talking Eskimo." So let me give a word of explanation. I was born in the North West Territories in 1979 and my birth certificate was written in both English and Eskimo (as it was called in 1979). Listening to CWB propaganda made me sometimes think that they were talking a completely different language. Hence the phrase.

Ask any business owner if they would accept an initial payment of 20% and then wait 16 months for the remainder of the projected price the consumer might or might not pay! Try that when you buy your next car!

This is a very good video that describes them bang on, their mandate is to move the grain they dont have to get any price and they are respondsible to no one they even told us that. Do you think they will give us a good price since we cannot take the grain buyer out to dinner but the governments they sell the grain to sure do.

This is not a good video. I'm looking for real information as to the Wheat Board, and this piece of crap video is the best you can come up with?

Good news today! The monopoly is gone! Good day for Prairie farmers!

[Crystalrainenergy]

Ya, things are gonna be so fantastic when the monopoly is gone right? Cause everyone knows monopolies are such a poor business model. That's why Forbes 400 #1 (Carlos Helu) and #2 (Bill Gates) are rolling pennies for gas money, their monopolies have kept them poor. You anti-board guys are a bunch of morons. Have fun with your dispersal auctions.

it is easy to see this is political rehtoric to try and cover up the undemocratic and illegal actions of our dictator STEPHEN HARPER!!!

[hardyseeds]

Say goodbye monopoly !

[ohreallyandwhyisthat]

Makes you wonder what the wheat board supporters will do the first time they roll into an elevator with a load of wheat. Will they walk the talk and sell for an estimated $8 later on or use common sense and take the $9 today. I think we all know the answer.

[skuzabut]

Let alone the racism, this video is ridiculous, I can't actually believe that anyone agrees with the message here, the CWB character is such a strawman. I can't even put to words how poorly argumented this is. The Conservatives havn't learned since the time of Gallileo about false debates...

@TheSaskFarmer no explanation should be required. The CBC is brutal, finding any little thing they can to make ordinary Canadians look bad. No idea how they can think the way you use Eskimo as being derogatory. Pretty weak in my opinion.

@TheSaskFarmer I understand what you say, but just because something was done more than 30 years ago doesn't mean it's acceptable today. Things change, usually for the better. And the same phrase "you are talking Esk###" also appears in your Pt II video on the same CWB topic. It must be part of your regular lexicon. We can say these things without thinking - I know I have. Give it some thought eh?
