Yes it was, but it was no where near the $1.08 per bushel that the compulsory CWB lost on 320,000,000 bushels of wheat under the terms of the British Wheat Agreement of 1946.

The CWB sold the wheat for $1.08/bu LESS than what they could have sold it for to other countries.

That was $345 million (or about $5 billion in todays money) that the CWB lost and never repaid western farmers for.

So why didn’t John Morriss ask farmers to remember that fact instead of the measely $62 million?
Or didn’t he know about it?

Why don’t you ask the CWB for these facts John Morriss?
You think they are honest, they should tell about that 1946 BWA loss.

I wonder why this stupendous loss, of historical proportions, is never mentioned in the CWB history website, or the history books in Saskatchewan or Manitoba or Canada?

A convenient loss of memory, some misplaced/destroyed papers, or maybe the crooked CWB has been hiding these real facts for all these years?

The CWB is fighting hard to keep its monopoly simply to keep farmers from seeing the real accounting and the horrendous job of marketing our grain all these years that it has done.

The CWB has fattened the bottonlines of more family corporations in central Canada than it ever did for western farmers.

You really have to be deaf, blind or stupid to think that the present CWB, which has degenerated into a political mouthpiece of the Crooked Liberal Party du Canada, is acting in the best interests of the western grain farmers.

CD Howe set the compulsory CWB up in 1943 to screw farmers and it still does to this day.

That’s why the compulsory CWB for wheat and barley is finished anyway, no matter how much some people cry about it.
