CN announces funding at port

[bucket]

Great news and funded by the government through the National trade corridors fund....Great news really...BUT....the government can't fund public research but can help the railways that are guaranteed a profit ....

Interesting factoid....its the hard work of farmers and others that make the port and the railways successful ....not sure why there isn't a fund for keeping farmers profitable as well....

You certainly don't see governments buying farmers equipment or bins....

What about the growing forward programs, now on its 3rd generation. Can't always point the finger and complain.

The earlier programs helped buy fert bins / fuel tanks etc. Various upgrades to equipment qualify if you can make a case for environmental stewardship.(sectional control etc)

To me it felt like a subsidy to the manufacturing or service industry. Enviro fuel tanks were stupid expensive, fertilizer bins probably jumped in price too because of the funding. When programs target specific things the prices/costs associated with them usually go up.

Bingo....it helped everyone but the farmers ....I wonder how much paperwork CN will have to fill out....or an environmental stewardship plan ...considering their latest spill and not talking to the landowner....

They keep f$&king it up and make it more useless each time it’s redone.
