Wheat Growers in the Country Guide

The groups that represent farmers should have been on this file long before the contract deadline.

Waiting until a month after the deadline and farmers as individuals start expressing their concerns isn't representation from these groups.

Got a call from the transport ministry yesterday. My impression after a good discussion is that they don't have an idea of what's going on out here. Not sure they are monitoring that close either to each rail/ branch line.

Reports should be a general overview with specifics in the back.

I think it would help if all farmers would call about the poor service in their areas and suggest solutions.

If you don't think policy is important, just live with bad policy for a while

Uh Ya we've been experiencing this under this con government for quite sometime

Sorry my last post was related to all farm groups and the railway file.

Bad policy description is what the railways have done to this country.

Does anyone think that laying off 1600 employees by Hunter Harrison would have a Positive ending ?
Mind you the share price skyrocketed but the Service Sucked

I've been to four AGMs now. I think the bang we get for our buck is substantial. Even personally the associations I've made for my fee is incredible compared to the usual speakers at grower or industry meetings. Not too many VPs or Chairmen come to butthole AB to have a drink.
Personally, I see a skill and knowledge set required for this board that I for one don't possess. All your facts on command and a tight rein on your emotions and tongue isn't always me. As I doubt it applies to most on here.
The hoi ploi's job is to keep the wcwga and its board informed. The board could reciprocate occasionally, or even ask.

If only a private investor with Warren Buffets goals would buy CN.

Like bill Gates who owns cn shares?

[blackpowder]

Perhaps but buy all them. No longer are your budgets or plans voted on by Wall Street. Your CEO has one boss with deep pockets and long range vision.

What are the membership fees. They must be quite high with only 500 members. Isnt your policy manager Blair Rutter a full time employee?Airfare to go see Ritz, hotels? Corporate sponsorship perhaps?

[blackpowder]

I don't think CP/CN is like BNSF, BTO. As for airfare and hotels, it's all out of pocket.
