I think this article as is has a grain farmer's and left wind slant. An importaint chapter is missing and that is the Crow Offest Subsidy introduced by the Alberta governemtn. This subsidy was paid to feedlot, and industiral grain users (possably Alberta flour mills) to offset the Crow wich was seen as hurting the Alberta ecconomy. Saskatchewan was lobbied by her cattlemen to have a crow offset subsidy, Ablerta responded by increasing it subsidy and Ontairio cattlemetn were to be givine a Crom Offset Subsidy subsidy, which is why the Chretchien governemnt scraped the crow. I'm not sure all of the details but this is an importaint and I think would be the biggest contribtuion to theis article. BKnoss 16:48, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actully I would like any information on Crow Benefit Offset Subsidy. BKnoss 18:20, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

POV issues[edit]

I don't have a lot of time just now, but to re-count my edit comment, the absence of any information/discussion on this hated policy (in the West) and how it was deliberatley designed to pevent hte growht of manufacturing industries (and concomitant populations) in the WEst that would threaten those in Ontario and Quebec is such a glaring absence that while it's clearly an oversight it's a higyly POV-driven oversight; a lot of WEstern history is "Ontario-washed" and this is one clear case where "all that is known/remembered is the way Toronto/Montreal wants it". Similarly any mention on the Kenora page of the Rat Portage dispute and how the loss of that region prevented the growht of heavy industry in fledgling Manitoba. A lot of "national" history articles avoid this kind of thing, presumably because it's POV to talk about; but POVs are part of the universe, and this particular one was such a hot button issue in Western Canada for decades upon decades it's amaazing that any "reliable" source makes no mention of it. I'll be back later but I'm always disapopinted to find such half-written articles on importtant topics, politically-charged or not....Skookum1 (talk) 18:05, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, and have gently introduced the eastern bias of this agreement. However I wouldn't want to go as far as to say that the bias was deliberate, which is a NPOV problem unless it can be well documented. Ian mckenzie (talk) 20:31, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
