Steering grain transportation backwards in Canada
The piece critiques the 1996 97 grain transport crisis and the Estey Kroeger reports. It argues for open commercial grain handling free of the CWB, notes government delay on reforms, references Bill C-34 and a hidden agreement with the CWB, and warns of recurring crises despite brief relief and potential long-term reform if an early election reshapes government.
