Join the Protest
I have followed your pursuit to have the
freedom of marketing your product, and sympathize. I was raised
on an Alberta farm, took five years of university in agriculture, and
worked so called "professionally" in agriculture for 20
years until I could no longer stand government interference in open
mindedness and thinking. This includes Federal and Provincial
governments. My last round was the GRIP program which possibly
could have been a useful program, but our own Minister of Agriculture
throttled any intelligent discussion of the program, and in fact any
bureaucrats who said anything against the program were threatened with
discipline.
Anyway, to the topic. As you prepare for
another border test shipment. I would suggest that you send one
well publicized shipment. This shipment would be composed of
numerous farmer's grain. Find a thousand farmers who will
contribute a bushel to the load. You would need to look into the
legalities i.e. each farmer would have a bill of lading
indicating ownership of his bushel. The truck could be a
clunker? so that customs could seize it if they wish. Maybe the
truck would need to be jointly owned by all the farmers?
What I am thinking of is a package that is
designed so tight, that they would have to put 1000 farmers in jail.
I would be interested in what your thoughts are?
Good luck,
Jim D.

A prairie wheat farmer had spent many days trying to
harvest his crop. His rusty old combine ran out of fuel and he
had no water left to drink. Certain that he had breathed his
last while crawling through the dry wheat, all of a sudden, he sees an
object sticking out from a row of wheat several yards ahead of him.
He crawls to the object, pulls it out of the wheat, and discovers what
looks to be an old briefcase.
He opens it and out pops a genie. But this is no ordinary genie.
She is wearing a Revenue Canada service ID badge and a dull red dress.
There's a calculator in her pocket and a pencil tucked behind one ear.
"Well, farmer," says the genie... "You know how I work.
You have three wishes."
"I'm not falling for this." Says the
wheat farmer. "I'm not going to trust a Rev/Can auditor
genie."
"What do you have to lose? Your crop is dying in the field,
you've got no transportation,
and it looks like you're a goner anyway!"
The farmer thinks about this for a minute, and decides that the genie
is right. "OK, I wish I were in a lush green oasis with
plenty of food and drink."
***POOF***
The farmer finds himself in the most beautiful
green oasis he has ever seen. And he is surrounded with jugs of
wine and platters of delicacies.
"OK, wheat farmer, what's your second wish."
"My second wish is that my wheat is sold and I were rich beyond
my wildest dreams."
***POOF***
All the farmer's wheat crop is sold and he finds
himself surrounded by treasure chests filled with rare gold coins and
precious gems.
"OK, farmerman, you have just one more wish.
Better make it a good one!"
After thinking for a few minutes, the wheat farmer says.....
"I wish that no matter where I go, beautiful
prairie women will want and need me."
**POOF***
He is turned into a tampon.
The moral of the story:
If the government offers you anything, there's going to be a string
attached. |
