    Not commie at all. The companies are publicly traded. Only one capable of buying boh rails would be the govt On account of competition rules. Were not talking stealing here right???????.
    Efficiency is In question. Sometimes govt run utilities roads etc are more efficient than public. In fact publicly traded companies are the most inefficient of companies out there. Private can beat easily. No public company can farm as efficient as us farmers. Just saying. Nothing wrong with klause's ideas. Put enough heads and ideas together and anything can be done if there is a will. If there is a will there s a way.

      One thing the feds got working for them is low interest rates. Tax on diesel will pay for the rails. Sell off cars and engines with richie bros to highest bidder meanwhile keeping things moving yikes that is the hard part no hick ups Needed Certain percentage held back to provide guarantee service to the little guys. Union will have to adapt should remain intact. Of course all e need is someone to show it is truely better for everyone.

            Yes Will. If flying we buy a ticket. Pay aiport tax to pay for airport. etc etc Pay pay. It works well. What if we had two air lines West Jet and Air Canada for instance and they had to have their own airports and no sharing. Yep enough said.

                    There are 205,000 farmers in Canada. If each farmer bought 10K worth of shares in CP in one day, planned it, and then swamped the shareholders meeting, there could be a lot of changes made. A wide view.... ;D Parsley

                      Exactly Pars. Also, we could own them in TFSAs.
