ritz might rescind mandatory rail movement

[foragefarmer]

I could only imagine what would be posted on here if it was another party leader that had acted in this brave matter. The self proclaimed "rights" would have there keyboards worn out.

Yes tom your right back to normal circumstances. But Alberta grain got shipped last winter when the railways couldn't get their ass in gear. Your grain moved mine was sacrificed by the railways. So don't give me this shit that every thing is back to normal. Because first F*&kup and I know our cars will be delayed.

Forage, you are so lame. Everyone would agree that ALL Canadian leaders need protecting regardless of party lines.

The enemy is extremists. No matter race, religion, or gender. Extremists.

My local is missing trains regularly.

so I have to look further to deliver grain. Costs more money.

Thanks for talking to ritz on my behalf Tom.

Rescinding the order just before winter.

That's rocket science advice you gave to ritz Tom.

What was he supposed to go? Go out in the hall and see what the root cause of the gun fire was? If he would have done that and got injured or killed you'd be talking about how stupid he was for putting himself in danger.

Do you remember the day President Kennedy was shot? What a sitting duck he was! Can't imagine his not being protected. Same for our PM. Protocol would very likely point to " hide him before anyone else".

[sumdumguy]

Goes to show you---- us. Big sham. Just as predicted.

Someone or something has stomped on Ritz real good...maybe someone slipped some kryptonite into his food or drink. It happened to Superman a time or two if I recall correctly.

They way we all heard last winter was grain co's order cars and state which points have that grain. The RR still tell them which points will have cars spotted. THAT is how AB got all the cars last winter. Many times the elevator is told by head office cars are coming, but none show up, RR says next week etc. It's truly a GONG show, chaos at it's finest, with NO consequences for a shitty job. System is run on hope that all involved are NICE, decent, honest, trustworthy, that they will play fair.

Is there not an easy way to let everyone know where the rail cars are like put it on a website? I am sure cn and cp know where the cars are and where they are headed. I get the feeling a railroad employee paid half million salary thinks he does not need to talk to grain companies.

[bucket]

In the states maybe. In Canada definitely not.

Ritz and Raitt folded like cheap suits on this file.

fjlip, I've stated in the past don't expect everyone to operate on the same set of morals and beliefs as yourself (what ever they may be).

And I think there are few morals in business/commerce when "profit at any cost" is the only goal. I used to be naive enough to beleive that if I treat people fairly, honestly, and respectfully they would reciprocate. Old too soon, smart too late.

I received my nightly call from the Conservatives - need support-Justie gonna kick our asses. You been such a great supporter so come on.

I told her no support here for party that turned their back on the West, gutted every ag program, reduced every service to farmers, now folded on grain transport issue. Told her go to CN and CP, see how many votes you can get from them.

Have had good and bad experience with people and systems whether run by governments or private enterprise.
Generally good with both and confess bad ones were usually partly my own fault or negligence.
Looking at big picture, prefer a free market economy to a command or over regulated one.

[sumdumguy]

I prefer a responsive government, not one that hides for years until there is an election, then you are a valuable supporter.
