CPR Feel The Love

[agstar77]

CPR is suing Sask for a third of billion. They claim they have paid taxes they should not have. Must almost going bankrupt.

Amongst others... Gates entities and Buffet entities [ big portion of both CN and CP]

Don't tangle with railway lawyers... they are ruthless and well connected....I have felt the 'Love' personally.

Cheers

Railways have short memories of all the land and mineral rights they received. Maybe they should be taxed by the mile.

The right thing to do would be to re-nationalize the railways , settle all the pending " so called contracts" and start over.


They completely phucked up in 2013 , wouldn't pay a dime in penalties and the government ignored the harm to farmers much the same as today....and now this 380 million dollar claim.

The land should have reverted to the crown in return for rail rates. Unfortunately there was no one willing to fight the railways. The railbeds should be run by a crown corporation which would allocate running rights to all rail companies. May the most efficient survive.

Oxymoron
Crown Corporations. Most efficient.

Railways were set up to milk the taxpayer.
Always did. Always will.

Sleepy R has generations of experience.

So why are roads run by government? Because it's a monopoly. There are not more railbeds being made.

Did you deliver grain when the Crow rates were in effect?
