Google News earns my disdain again today; apparently
savemycwb.ca is a news site. One look confirms that it is chock full of propaganda from the NFU-left, where the 'con' in conservative stands for conspiracy.
One example, if I may:
In addition Strahl will be stuffing ballots with propaganda
The ballot envelope will be stuffed with material from anti-CWB advocates Dr. Barry Cooper from the University of Calgary and Rolf Penner from the Frontier Centre.
What is not mentioned is that Prof. Murray Fulton has the privilege of "stuffing" the ballot envelope with 'propaganda' in support of the single desk. But why would you tell the whole story when you have political objectives to achieve?
Reading these guys, you might think that Chuck Strahl is the second coming of Machiavelli. Or maybe worse, according to some of the signs at the pro-single-desk rally in Winnipeg in December. (Apologies for the bad cell-phone camera picture.)
Sadly, there is simply too much material on savemycwb.ca to rebut. It amazes me that so many are going to such incredible lengths to castigate those who would give farmers a choice in whether they market their grain through the CWB. It takes a lot of gall to suggest that choice, opportunity, and freedom are some kind of crazy conspiracy.

Joe, it would be funny, if it weren't so pathetic, that a site like that is portrayed as news.
Break out the tinfoil hats, too. "mulroney, harper, and the adm connection"? The most laughable thing I've ever heard.
Press Releases from the Liberal party website have also been showing up as "news" on Google News as well.
It's truly sad how some people have so little faith in their own ability to successfully operate in the marketplace that they need to, by force of law, collectivize their operations with everyone else. That ideology I thought disappeared with the old communist regimes of the last century.
Are these people afraid of being left behind, or do they truly so lack in confidence, that they freeze at the thought of negotiating prices in a competitive market? I doubt they are even farmers. Farmers by nature have confidence and ability.
I agree. It is pathetic.
Update on savemycwb...webmaster brendon sigurdson is also a farmer. What's also interesting is that he looks like he's 12 years old.
No doubt he has a permit book and is probably voting in the plebiscite.
Laughable!
