Winnipeg Free Press- Keep out of our granariesRe: Privacy the latest victim of Tory CWB battle, April 19.
Laura Rance and the Liberal Party of Canada are seemingly outraged that the federal government is seeking information regarding farmers who use certain Canadian Wheat Board marketing programs. They regard it as an invasion of privacy.
Their indignation is misplaced. If they were truly concerned about a farmer’s privacy, they would not be such cheerleaders for the CWB and its state-sanctioned monopoly, which prevents us from selling our own private property, our wheat and barley, to a buyer of our choice.
A famous Liberal once remarked that the state has no place in the bedrooms of the nation. I would argue that it has no place in its granaries either.
