I’m trying to make heads or tails of the many letters that either criticize or praise the government and the Canadian Wheat Board.
I can’t believe that some producers will actually go as far as making predictions as to what will happen to the price of wheat in a year or more from now if the federal government should allow a dual marketing system.
Most of us don’t know what will happen tomorrow, much less what will happen in a year from now. Where are all the soothsayers getting their information from?

As a lad growing up in Saskatchewan, I recall the circus coming to town every year. I don’t think I need to go into details as to the type of questionable characters that travelled with a circa 1950s circus.
Some that I recall, however, were the fortune tellers. He or she would invite you to their quaint little tent, sit you at a table and gaze into their crystal ball.
While innocent folks were being mesmerized by the future, quite often a hand would reach into the tent and grab their wallet or their purse.
There’s a good reason why the CWB has kept you in the dark for all those years. And trust me, when you see someone gazing into the future for more than a few days, hang onto your wallet. You’re about to be taken.
