Two questions:

1. How could the Chinese pull this off, going through country after country and we canâ€™t build a pipeline across our own country?

2. How canâ€™t our government see how CN and CP are holding our country hostage?

China . . . the next global superpower.

China will not take Friday's U.S. tariffs lightly . . . soybeans in a dive.

The same way you build an entire city from nothing in a decade.

Where there's a will there's a way.

Those trains run loaded both ways. The other terminus is Madrid, Spain.

They run through all of Europe, Russia, the Stan countries.

6-8 days a trip and one per week to the furthest extent...

China's OBOR initiative is worth 1 trillion dollars.

Meanwhile Russia and India have signed conprehrnsivr trade agreements last week... Covering ag, investment, and tech exchange

Noteworthy, Putin did not dress like an Indian prince at a wedding.

Klause I would vote for you Prov or Fed.

There is a problem in Canada, urban vs rural, and the almighty next election. Infrastructure should be a obvious first and highest priority for all providing economic activities, improving cost of living, etc

Does Canada need a New Toronto, modern infrastructure, master plan community? And another Montreal? Has the current infrastucture deteriorated to the point where itâ€™s best to start over like they did in Kasikstan? Or push over the red barn when itâ€™s leaning and build the new shop.
Just shitting ya, thatâ€™s where the votes are, and thatâ€™s the problem.

The train is interesting, And makes sense. Politics,

What would be your first priority Klause, at what cost?

I've always said the govt would make money by shipping every Canadian off to China for 2 weeks.
We are mostly naive fools.
