Brave and Larry,


While CNCP may not appear to care...,

Western Canadian farmers can bring to bare;

The Court of Public Opinion to impair,

CNCP plans to take what is unfair.


Freinds are worth fighting for,

You are mine what is more,

Than to step to the fore,

For truth, justice, freedom to implore.


Western Canadian neighbours you are mine,

Fighting for what is right takes a spine,

Freinds with pleasure I take the time,

To draw the line at this CNCP railway design.

Larry,

I have tried to decipher Glencore Financials... to separate out actual Canadian results alone does not appear to be broken down for us. Since Viterra has operations in Australia... and other Ag Glencore operations appear to be blended in the financials...

Cant read article but based on some comments here. Our whole system was originally designed to provide Britain what it wanted. Surplus sold/dumped in world. Japan replaced Britain with no change to any mandate or design. All the while the world chugged along growing a different product.
HRS acres will rightly go down.

You make it sound that the Richardsons, Parrish's, Heimbecker's, Cargill's, Dreyfus', Patterson's, etc. The Grain Families "are barely surviving, living in the poor house"

If true, why have they not went to the markets in their 100 plus years of existence to raise capital, to issue shares in their operations so that me, you, and whoever else can invest in their operations!!!!

Better yet why are the families not talking to the government about poor rail service?

They have grain booked out 7 months with deliveries scheduled for the bookings 10 months our keeping basis wide.

[OneOfMany]

We all know the answer to that!

And truly they all are speaking with one voice to the Gov... in a very effective way.

In case you forgot:

"Ag Transport Coalition members look forward to advancing discussions with Government and collaboration with the railways on next steps to ensure that the rail transportation system is meeting the needs of Canadian businesses, contributing to their competitiveness and supporting economic growth throughout Canada.
* The Ag Transportation Coalition is comprised of the Canadian Canola Growers Association (CCGA), the Alberta Wheat Commission (AWC), Pulse Canada, the Manitoba Pulse Growers Association (MPGA), The Western Grain Elevator Association (WGEA), the Canadian Oilseed Processors Association (COPA), the Inland Terminal Association of Canada (ITAC) and the Canadian Special Crops Association (CSCA)."

NOW... whom were you speaking of... is not a part of actively working on this problem???

I thought so.
