CP Strike

[agstar77]

Here is another excuse for grain not to move.

[cottonpicken]

government is ordering them back to work.

[agstar77]

Because the oil has to move.

[grower99]

h should order both sides back to the table!

Legislation is coming because of stranded Montreal commuters.

Nothing to do with grain.

But if the government gave a shit they wouldn't have let it get to this.

Not sure how 1 guy can piss off the unions of both railways and call it good for the country.

It took over 6 months to issue an OIC to move grain and less than 6 hours for back to work legislation because of Montreal commuters.

The conservatives have shown whose votes they want.

[bucket]

Just to be clear.

The conservatives didn't give a **** if farmers could make a living so I really don't give a **** if people in Montreal can't get to work to make a living.

Just a small inconvenience of riding a bus for free.

Wish it was that easy here.

[farmaholic]

Oooo, regional division. More divide and conquer techniques.

[bucket]

Exactly. I would think the unions would have more sympathy in queeebec.

[MBgrower]

Bucket, how many conservative seats do you think harper would lose in SKand AB in the next election if the rail strike went on for 6 months or more? NONE.  

[Guest]

well , i think the conservatives have already lost lots of seats in sask and alta , and i have never voted anything but conservative

[Hopperbin]

Personally harper would likely do the party a favour if he stepped down and let someone else in before election. Too late for that. I still dont like the competition. The public would sure like more info on details of this strike. I feel we only get 1 percent of the info. That other 99 should be availl to everyone. Cn cpr railroads may have that info tied up making media afraid to report. Or the two sides dont want the info out so they both shut up. You dont put safety workers on strike when your issue is safety. Now the union needs a kick in the ass for that one. Immagine the class action on that if things go bad with accidents.
