Enright said he'd already made up his mind which of the three candidates he was going to vote for in the upcoming Canadian Wheat Board directors election. Listening to the three candidates confirmed his choice. Farmers in District 2 have a choice between two pro-board candidates, Ken Larsen of Benalto and Adam Campbell of Rosalind, and dual market supporter Jim Chatenay of Red Deer, the incumbent. For Enright, the debate was a chance to compare personalities and see how the candidates reacted to questions. There was a lot of emotion in the room.
People feel strongly one way or the other.
I think the forum today was really good. Harvey Adamson of Camrose also had his mind made up before the forum. The dual market supporter was impressed with Chatenay's tenacity. Chatenay is the lone voice for dual marketing in the wheat board boardroom. He was elected two years ago when rules were changed to allow farmers to run for 10 board positions.
