    CN Strikes

    Isn't this wonderful! Trains will stop running so basis will widen and if they get that settled then the winter weather will set in and hold everything back even more. I see a long winter ahead without much reason for prices to improve. I hope I am wrong!

              The odds of back to work legislation coming out of this minority government are next to zero... we had better hope CN and the unions can get this figured out on their own.

                CNR headquarters are in Montreal.

                Blackface is working on Quebec for more seats in the next election, don’t expect any results now that Quebec political parties are running the show.

                Will Trudeau put a Maritimer or Quebecer in charge of Agriculture?

                  What really pisses me off is the way the media, report a labor dispute to get public sympathy but dont give any details,such as what the partys stands are,is the union greedy,is the railroad being cheap
                  It was said the workers are tired and are away from home to long at a time,so if they can figure out how to get from regina to vancouver and back home on a train in an 8hr day mabey they wont carry on thier strike.
                  O well at least it wasnt chucks fault,or at least no one has blamed him/or her YET.

                    Him or her? Did you ever consider Chuck might be AI (artificial intelligence)?
