Well farmers, it's almost time for the annual tractor parade of protesting farmers, as well as the traditional dumping of manure on government property. Followed, of course, by the usual angry speeches by opportunistic Opposition MP's and marketing board bureaucrats- all whom claim to care so much about you, but are really only using you for their own benefit. And then, after the speeches, getting back in your tractors and off to the local Tim Hortons, spending the rest of the year re-living your exciting day in the big city.
You have some strange delusion that your actions will influence government policy, and swing public opinion in your favour, but you really only end up looking like liquored up hicks looking for another hand-out.
Good farmer, maybe you accept being forced to sell your goods to the marketing boards. Okay, that's a free choice on your part. However, is it right to deny other farmers the freedom to sell their goods to whomsoever they choose?
