The Transportation Agency ruling found that the tonnage of grain the two railways hauled in 2013-14 was “18.8 percent higher than the western grain volume for the previous crop year.” [Emphasis added] In other words a bumper crop was hauled by bumper railway performance.
Given that 18.8% increase in tonnage hauled, it means the grain companies served themselves very well indeed by taking literally billions of dollars from western farmers while using poor rail service as an excuse to confuse farmers and the media with bogus claims about high basis costs being caused by the railways. The CTA ruling shows the grain company claims were so much cow flop.

It is said "If you cant identify the problem then you cannot provide a solution".
It is the grain companies that are ripping us off and placing blame on the railways. Of course the railways would like to share the spoils by eliminating the rate cap.

Interesting, A CTA ruling that proves nothing at all??? Other than we need a performance bond... that provides service capacity needed for rail transportation in western Canada.


Grain growers must have the opportunity to be reliable providers of quality grains... that are truly trusted, dependable, and meet the needs, and surpass those needs to create more value for end users and consumers!

Integrity...

No Grainco... ... helped CNCP in fighting me... nor does any I have spoken to... agree with the 'Writ of Execution' served upon our families farm.

Please tell me why... the CNCP people... should get away with the freezing attempt to shut me up about the unfair and aggressive nature of treating grain growers in western Canada?

Have you been hired by CNCP to lecture me and intimidate me?

How well do you think that will work?

DO you really think "I" have NO Principals???

His actions remind me of a spoiled child who will hold their breath until they turn blue and pass out if they don't get their way, then the bodies natural instincts take over until the spoiled brat gains consciousness....

Legends in their own minds...

The cause is worthy but the actions are juvenile.

Who here knew of anything regarding this matter(challenge) until the infamous "writ of execution" was filed? Now its lime-light city...

Loss of credibility?

I often wonder where the industry would be if all the resources SQUANDERED on things like the CWB Alliance, or Friends of the CWB, or any of the paid for "teat sucking economists" reports, had been used to promote CA ag products or invest in storage, handling, or value added enterprises?

We'd need Stephen Hawking to compute the value.
