A fellow, today, expressed the same opinion. He wasn't looking forward to visiting his wife's 1.5 million relatives in China.

Saskatchewan - I'm looking forward to the downturn. Too many strangers around that need to go back to their roots.

I like the long cold winters... that cause folks there to use their imaginations... like what exactly is the 'Jolly Rodger' on the shores of Regina?

Want to guess what they did Parsley???

Lucy says I cannot say...

My Favorite Saskatchewan thing to do... sing along to the 'Last Saskatchewan Pirate'!!! Just after I got it...

ent that those hopper cars were used in the shipment of western grain. Concerns have been expressed that by virtue of operating efficiencies achieved by the railways since 1992, the amount of “actual” hopper car maintenance costs incurred by the railways is less than the amount of hopper car maintenance costs “embedded” in the VRCPI. Those expressing such concerns generally also held the view that if “embedded” hopper car maintenance costs in the VRCPI were replaced with “actual” hopper car maintenance costs, the result would be to reduce the VRCPI, which would, in turn, lead to a reduction in the per tonne cost of shipping western grain.



[17] It is apparent from this News Release that the Government of Canada, as represented by the Minister in charge of Transport Canada, expected that the adjustment to the VRCPI that was contemplated by Clause 57 would reduce “embedded” hopper car maintenance costs such that farmers would realize potential freight rate reductions of approximately $2.00 per tonne of western grain shipments.



[44] The Agency considered the submissions that were made to it and on February 19, 2008, it issued Decision No. 67-R-2008 (the “Final Decision”). The Agency determined that the VRCPI as adjusted under Clause 57 was 1.0639, and that such amount constituted the VRCPI for the entire 2007-2008 crop year and replaced the VRCPI that was determined under the Interim Decision. The Agency determined that the “embedded” hopper car maintenance costs of the railways for the 2007-2008 crop year were $105.1 million and their “actual” hopper car maintenance costs for that year were $32.9 million. The reduction in the VRCPI for the 2007-2008 crop year (from 1.1611 to 1.0639) resulted from the removal from the VRCPI for that year of $72.2 million, the difference between the amount of “embedded” and “actual” hopper car maintenance costs for that crop year."

Want to guess what they did Parsley??
