I was glad to see farmers love Canadian Pacific in their ads.

[buzz]

Did you see this ad last night during the hockey game?

Damn that CPR with their melodramas...the tears of joy and emotion are running down my cheek. How could we live without them? Just think,, they held onto this land that is my farm at one time...a gift from the Government of Canada and a very generous one at that.

Isn't the bigger question... Why does CP like farmers now the monopsony is gone?

[FarmRanger]

When I saw that commercial on TV, I thought the
message was that farmers and the railroads are
free to co-operate now. I agree. Everyone will be
better off if the adversarial attitude dies with the
single desk.

Wilagro,

Early morning the Canadian Dream goes by... the coyotes howl... my collie goes into a whacky freight train mode and tears at the doors till he gets out to take on those cpr coyotees.

You kind of remind me of our goofy collie.... always must be chasing a stick... a coyote...any stick... eye always focused... ready for action(trick throw)...jump... and just won't stop for anything!

I had a girlfriend once who told me the same thing. Ahahahahahahhahhaahhahaha

One mono, very happy that another mono is
gone like the dodo bird. CPR & CN
Comedian framers best friends, yeah right.
Rail rate increase enroute, greed is good.
Marketeers and chislers rule!!!!!!!

From my days of watching a room full of CN / CP full time professinal lobbying lawyers work for them in Ottawa i find this very interesting. Somethings up.

Could it be the impending value added development of cereals processessing and less mindless export of raw product? More going south by truck?

And why the ad about the farmer when grain companies ship? Any rail coalition people read this? What's up?

[notaredneck]

Dumbest ad ever!

[Hopperbin]

I took the add as CP wanting more farm boys to come work for them. Farm boys and girls still have a much better work ethic than the city raised.

Can't wait ta see those B trains loaded
wit heavy Comedian grain crossin the
boarder. Butt wait those trucks ain't
allowed in the u.s. Where kin wes gets a
fleet of triaxles ta do the job. Bit more
expense involved, butt well worth it,
after all us Comedians like challenges,
heck more expenses, kin be deducked from
the taxis! its watcha call yer win/win
situation......

Some city friends asked what the ad was about? They did not get it? I liked the music.
