Hey Mr. Strahl ??

Are you listening to yourself Mr Strahl??

Are you listening to the farmers ??

I have heard enough over coffee here in Minnedosa (you may have heard of it, it's the town your family came from Mr Strahl, you have a really nice cousin in town - he's a fine fellow), to know that your plan for the Canadian Wheat Board is not what the farmers want ...

You talk about democracy. You talk about listening to the farmers. You even talk about letting the farmers decide the future of the Wheat Board ... Mr Strahl, I have to ask you - how do you see the farmers doing that ???

Am I mistaken, or didn't the farmers get the chance to vote last week?? Didn't they send a clear statement about what they want for the Wheat Board?

Or are you listening to the minority vote who want the Board Monopoly to end?

Mr Strahl, how do you and our government decide which minority groups you will listen to? Clearly you don't want to listen to the minority voices of womena dn gays and lesbians, but you will listen to the minority voices of big business ... Mr Strahl, your actions run counter to the very values you and your party were elected on ...

Mr Strahl, listen to the farmers. Or at the very least listen to Mr Mark (you know him he sits on your side of the House of Commons and represents this riding), Mr Mark clearly listened to the farmers. In the meantime, you might want to follow his lead ...
