Dumb****led drivel

[bucket]

So it comes out as to why C49 is taking so long to pass (which I suspect it won't ) since Cn now says it needs an unamended bill in order to buy cars...

I am sort of sick of companies in an industry but refuses to spend in it.


Isn't it their job to move product? Don't want to buy cars to move commodities on rail why are you in that business? do you want the government to buy the cars so you can charge the shit out of farmers for maintenance never done? Probably.

Its like graincos that don't build storage for their grain ....instead they get minions to build the storage, sign them to contracts and take delivery when they please....and get the minions to complain to government about the graincos grain not moving.

All blackmail all the time. If the railways and graincos don't get their way they pick up their marbles and go home or obviously pack a little more into the brown bags to the MPs and senate.

CP was told to move grain , they told Garneau to **** off , phoned Hadju and told her to keep their employees working . Pretty obvious who is running the show. More brown bags.

A grainco rep sent an email about how I could make an extra 22 cents if I used some kind of options....Phoned the dummy and said I could make that 22 cents if you didn't make me haul an extra hour to deliver because you closed the local 10000 tonne elevator...I would make even more if I wasn't forced to buy bins or hire trucking companies now....

Does anyone else get sick of the excuses for downloading costs to the primary producer....Grain freight hasn't went down with the lower price of commodities....rail workers wages won't be going down.....steel prices went up because Trump whispered about about a tariff that never happened....and well fuel prices are insane while every MP and MLA keeps their mouth shut about it...

Here is the news folks ...the carbon tax is here already....

Or is this dumb****led farmers drivel just that.

yea all true , couldn't make this shit up
as for the fuel prices , all govt's want that , they get taxes on a percentage , higher the price , the more they get . they're all a spineless bunch of bastards. scared of railways , scared of oil co's, scared of grain co's (or bought out by all of them ?) and don't give a f#$k about the average person

oh good.....I am not paranoid....needed a little re-assurance....

Farmers thru checkoffs gave Pulse canada millions to find find markets for our product and thru our taxes got more ....they invested in the research to grow more so we could make less...


Markets for our grain is more important than researching some dumbass one off event cause by weather or someone that grows lentils peas wheat peas rotations. Or canola snow canola...

2016 my durum crop was garbage ...2017 it was the best quality ever.....same seed ...different weather.

All the snake oil in 2016 didn't help.

And does anyone pay for a number one CWAD anyway?

After reading more about Feduk.....is this what the public thinks of us?

Competition built this country and collusion was a crime.
Now it's screw everyone and envelopes full of cash.

The government forced vote on unionized workers at CP using electronic voting takes 10 days????

Go back to paper for **** sakes.

Next thing the Russians will be involved...I know thats a stretch but couldn't help myself.

So does CN and CP own the oil tanker cars? It looks to me like the railroads are in the process of forcing all grain companies to own their own cars. The local Grainsconnect terminal owns there own and after watching their cars being delivered and removed quite consistantly I dont see how other terminals can avoid owning or leasing their own. Thet dont even unhook the two engines. Load them and gone. Pretty sweet if your CN. Just supply the power and operator and charge like hell.

That was funny.

No apology required.

Pretty sweet all right so why are they so far behind????

They only supply the locomotive power and still can't do the logistics??????

[sawfly1]

what is all the fus about ?
there is no problem, there can not be one , we were promised ,
it is impossible that we have a problem.

when the crow went , which, I agree was , probably was untenable .
then we went to , the full compensatory rates that

the railroads wanted . cost +profit + ROI
( like who would not work for that)

that was all that was needed , the RRs would make all the investments needed.
politicians , the rail roads ,the western Canadian wheat growers, . all
promised . it would never be a problem again .

you must be delusional if you think producers lost 6 billion $ the last go .
and more now .

it is not happening , cant be .

unless you realise , you are dealing , with what is basically a monopoly.
if you do not like us RRs , well you are screwed , load your truck and haul it over the mountain's.
if you like . see how that goes

. we do not care , why would we ? we will do it in our own sweet time, when we get around to it.
why should we spend money on tracks and tunnels.
we are going to get to haul all your shit anyway . eventually
why spend all that money ?

you would almost , think we are stupid . or something.
we can take that money and buy another RR in the states
or pay a dividend .

\ you and your grain are not going anywhere anyway.
without us .

you got the system you wanted, when you put your X for Brian Mulroney and the free trade deal.
you won ..,you killed socialism. (except for Medicare) Govt. can not help you now.
corporations are now more powerful than govt.. CN CP
you won . so live with it .

no need ever to worry about the US not signing on to NAFA,
they are not idiots. of course they will sign ,
a deal that cuts off Canada's balls

so get on your knees , and beg , or do what ever , the RRs want . to move anything .
What did you think would happen .

[sawfly1]

c 49 is a joke
first. who actually foots the shipping bill.
us

so why are the supposed contracts between the RRs an grain CO.s .
any way
like they give a crap.. either of them. we pay , not them

what grain CO , in its right mind , will sue it's only shipper?
real smart move .
and the whole premise is absurd .
a contract .

I as a RR am the only possible way of getting your product to market..
so what do I have to give you to reach a contract .

I guess that would be absolutely nothing , when it comes right down to it.

Shouldn't this all been done before they "opened" the market in western Canada. ...

Ritz and his advisors dropped the ball on this whole damn thing by not getting all the players together and making sure it was a successful transition....

Instead every ****ing time the bill comes to farmers....

Ideological idiots that designed the new system that has created more problems to solve ....

Oh it's been a "successful transition" for the players. Pity farmers didn't heed the warning that they weren't going to be players in this new game, just played. Dumb****led indeed.
