The Canadian Landowner Alliance advocates for provincial legislation that recognizes property rights, and, that the Federal Government of Canada enshrines property rights in the Charter of Rights and freedoms.
The declining value of the Canadian dollar continues to provide attractive marketing opportunities for western Canadian farmers who don’t mind trucking their grain across the U.S. border.
That is a great story. The Americans are great to deal with, once you're across the border. Big difference shipping grain into Quebec. If their basis bid is too good to be true, there's a reason. Tip: retain a composite grain sample, have your lawyer handy, and buy yourself a fresh jar of vaseline.
I guess a low Canadian dollar can be a good thing if you're selling to the Yanks but it is sure as hell the shits if you have to buy stuff. I planned to get a new grapple loader head for one of the trucks this year but its gone up 20 percent since last fall and I'm sure not making 20 percent more profit.
Just what I was thinking too Saul. How much LESS profit would these savvy farmers have made had they been forced to deal with the Wheat Marketing Board.
