All I can do is try Bucket.

FYI Bill Gates owns the biggest percent of CN.

"Why Billionaire Bill Gates Owns Canadian National Railway Company

By Andrew Walker - September 2, 2014 | More on: CNICNR

Bill Gates is the largest shareholder of Canadian National Railway Company (TSX: CNR)(NYSE: CNI), with a massive 13% stake in Canada’s flagship railroad operator.

The Microsoft Corp. co-founder and world’s richest person first declared his ownership position in Canadian National Railway back in 2000. The bet has paid off handsomely, with a stock-price gain of nearly 900% on the investment..."

Grassy,

You are a big help! How about writing Bill Gates... Hunter Harison... and letting them know how much you care about them and their Railways?

And the CTA.

Thanks

Maybe you should have tried listening on s simple forum like this when guys were saying service was the shits.

Several times you spoke of speaking to ritz, maybe you forgot to mention the problems in other parts of the prairies.

You sort of ****ed it up for those that called mps with ideas that got discounted because you were whispering in ritz's ear that everything was fine and that's what he wanted to hear.

I get what you are doing but you need a large number of people to support you with other initiatives. Stuart will help you lay down in the tracks. Let's see if you can accommodate others ideas.

Then look to Brazil for the real solution.

Bucket,

When we had the meeting in Calgary with Minister Ritz and Alberta Ag Minister Olsen... I spoke of the problems outside my area. Thanks for your input.

[bucket]

And obviously they didn't listen.

When was this tom?

[TOM4CWB]

This was last spring in Calgary when the legislation was announced. Rome was not built in a day... neither can railway policy be reformed easily. We all know this. Thanks

Just throwing this out there. Are you clear what you want to accomplish before you start?

Have you considered hiring the same media PR firm that the the first nations people and occupy groups use? They are effective.

Will grain commissions get behind you to fund it? Farmer donations, crop input companies, grain elevators, rail shippers assoc, etc.

Are you willing to risk the health issues if you actually do a hunger strike (unlike the fake perception based ones of certain first nations leaders)?

It takes a lot of money, otherwise it truly is a weight loss program and damaging to your health, and the trains will be exactly the same.

I need to do more research but it looks like Warren Buffet bought into Bill Gates Foundation... which looks like owns the CN shares. Thus a connection between BNSF and CN.

Hey Tom

It took less than 24 hours to threaten back to work legislation. And over 6 months to issue an order in council.

Do you see that someone is blowing smoke?

If this government can force 4500 workers back to work then they could force 2 ceos (hunter and mongeau) to move grain.

It is that simple. Your MPs don't give a shit about you or any farmer for that matter.

Unfortunately you have been bending over so long you have become used to the position . The only way anything will change is through political will. The Railways are so well entrenched in Ottawa that there is probably no way any of the parties will oppose them. Agriculture has no effective voice. Any power we did have vanished with the marketing freedom movement. You are one of the people responsible and now you are complaining, well bend over.
