  • The Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association said in a release it was pleased with the results. It said because prairie farmers have no choice but to use the wheat board to sell their wheat and barley, the board shouldn't be allowed to use farmers' money for political activism. That includes promoting the board's own monopoly, said the association.

  • I find Louis Stevenson's salary outrageous. However, to say that First Nations chiefs' high salaries are to blame for poor living conditions in First Nations is wrong. First Nations do not receive handouts or tax dollars but payments for land and resources -- let's call it royalties from the signed numbered treaties. As a descendant of the original signatories to the treaties, I, too, would like to see the salaries and benefits of all chiefs and councillors in this province become public knowledge and that would include the various political organizations. As one of the tenants at IRCOM House on Ellen Street, I can say IRCOM has made lots of changes. Almost all suites are now occupied. The cockroach problem was resolved several months ago. And tenants have been given many orientations...

  • [...] for the first time in at least a couple of decades, Manitoba producers have a wealth of commodities to choose from with the potential to turn a definite profit - provided they do their homework and lock in a guaranteed return on the futures markets. The ongoing court and political battles between the Canadian Wheat Board and the minority Conservative federal government have likely tempered any enthusiasm producers have over barley.

  • We should have a 'yes' or a 'no' vote as opposed to a vote that asks yes, no or yo," he quipped, adding that the CWB plebiscite question was reminiscent of the question asked of Quebecers in the 1995 separation referendum. "I think it's subject to challenge (in the courts), yes," said Graeme Young, one of the lawyers who represented the Friends of the Canadian Wheat Board, which mounted a challenge parallel to the wheat board's against the Conservatives' ill-fated cabinet order last year. Asked Friday if he was ready for a new legal battle, [Gerry Ritz] said he "wouldn't be shocked if it happened" but added his political enemies would challenge the legislation "at their own demise.

  • The current era is both exciting and confusing. A lot of changes are going on in China. There are both crises and opportunities. In this essay, I want to introduce many exciting recent developments of contemporary Christianity in China. All the developments show that the Chinese church is already taking deeper and deeper roots in China, and there are a lot of opportunities for the church to participate in culture and society. Many Chinese, both common people and intellectuals, have a renewed appreciation of the strength and relevance of the Christian faith, and many others are crying out for something that can satisfy their spiritual longing. Yes, indeed many people are searching for God, or perhaps it is God Himself who has been actively searching for the Chinese since very early times.

  • It is important the interests of farmers be looked after, but if the rest of the industry is handcuffed and has none of its interests addressed, what good is that for farmers? What if maltsters decide they can't do business in Canada? What if Canadian seed and technology developers, grain handlers and exporters decide that the barley business isn't worth another dollar of investment? What if elevator companies refuse to handle the CWB's barley because it insists on complete control of every stage in the marketing chain? None of these possibilities would be good for farmers. The roll out of the CWB's newest plan, its so-called "CashPlus" program, has met with universal disapproval from commercial processors, handlers and merchandisers. And as farmers become familiar with the details of t...

  • Canada is a country that likes to think of itself as having a foreign policy driven by the high ideals of liberal internationalism - what I take to be the advance of universally recognized and widely accepted human rights and the creation of effective and legitimate international institutions. An exceptional voice, Evans notes, was Chester Ronning, a Department of External Affairs official and later special envoy in Asia, who constantly urged closer ties, even solidarity, with Maoist China - including supporting its disastrous initiation of the Korean War and releasing a film based on his 1971 visit to the country praising the Cultural Revolution (Ronning 1974).

  • His advocating for the end of the CWB's monopoly comes while a cabinet order prevents the CWB from spending any money, on advertising for instance, to defend its status as the single-desk seller of all wheat and barley grown in the West. Some claim that the CWB provides an annual premium of between $500 million and $800 million to producers," Strahl writes. "Those who make this claim then conclude that the CWB's monopoly is worth that much on an annual basis. This is a grievous exaggeration being promulgated by the groups who wish to deny farmers the right to choose how to market their grain. Strahl's article was immediately denounced by Bill Toews, a CWB director and Manitoba farmer, as political meddling in the elections now underway for CWB directors.
