So how did that go down, exactly... ...the Wheat Board secures the deal and Gerry Ritz heads over there for the photo op? All the while badmouthing and trying to dismantle the board at home? Is that how it went?

That's kind of how I'm picturing it going down.

Let it sit and develop some serious mold for a bit. That way it'll meet the quality standards China uses on its exports to the West.

Don't be silly.

We'll give them all of the No. 1, we'll keep the feed grade, and our bread'll go up a buck a loaf.

It's the Canadian way.
