Current Event: Will The Canadian Wheat Board Be Dismantled?
Three interesting things about this article are that Pierre Lemieux wants to end the Canadian Wheat Board so that western farmers along with farmers all across Canada have more freedom and can choose who they sell their product to. Also the vote showed 62% of wheat farmers and 51% of barley farmers want to maintain their ability to market their grain through the Canadian Wheat Board. Disabaling the Canadian Wheat Board will be beneficial to farmers because it will give farmers the ability to choose who they sell to and what the price will be. A question I have is why are people opposed to the Canadian Wheat Board being dismantled? How will it affect farmers across Canada and will it be more difficult for farmers in isolated areas to make their profit?
