Dear Editor:
It is very obvious that neither Agriculture Minister, Gerry Ritz or Prime Minister, Stephen Harper intend to allow Western grain producers to decide for themselves through a fair, honest vote whether they want the Canadian Wheat Board to have sole jurisdiction to market their milling wheat and malt barley.
My many years as a resident of this earth and always a keen observer of national politics have convinced me, Conservatives, if given a majority in Ottawa, have proven to be the least respectful of others' democratic rights.
In fact, they seem to think a majority gives them dictatorial rights to rule. Their interpretation of the word "democracy" seems to be: "If I don't get my way, is isn't democracy."
They will not hesitate to force the desires of a minority on a majority and call it democracy. They are very comparable to the typical school yard bully.
