Time to Cast Some Light on the Canadian Wheat Board

The Canadian Wheat Board needs an overhaul for so many different reasons, its hard to know where to start.

Consider:

1) If its the "Canadian" Wheat Board, why does it only apply to western Canada? Those from Liberal ridings can still sell their wheat to whoever they please.

2) It amazing how few Canadians are aware that this monstrosity is responsible for farmers being jailed for the crime of selling their wheat.

3) Whay have the Liberals quickly tried to shut down every attempt to shind some light on its finances.

Paul Jackson raises these questions and others in today's Calgary Sun.

Let's spread the word to the rest of Canada about this Liberal relic.
I agree with Paul's assessment that it will probably make the sponsorship scandal pale in comparison.
