Can't blame Ian, he is just the captain. Gerry is the admiral.

Sell those things to Paul Martin as originally planned and buy some more cars.

When they first announced this deal I called in and asked if they would be buying semis and b trains as well. If there is money in Lakers there should be money in trucking as well.

Do you think that will happen under Conservative watch?

Bucket the local CWB elevator has a Truck and B-train. They'll come and pick-up in your yard if one so desires. I don't use the service but probably nice for those who do.

Pretty amazing, i'm sure if your toilet doesn't flush right , there are some that would blame ritz for that too.

[Hopalong]

Looks like opportunity for Captain Tom Jackson.

[mcfarms]

cool that someone on here was able to wander over take a look ad report back, no one comment yet on the cargo "our" ship is hauling, iron ore.

[mcfarms]

suppose it might be inbound not out bound.

[dalek]

The ore was headed for Hamilton

Stonepicker, I agree completely... one look at the CWB history for a moment...

Especially amazing... since Minister Ritz specifically told the CWB Board of Directors... to N O T buy those ships. In the end... this was the final straw... that forced the government to remove the CWB farmer elected Board of Directors... and the single desk.
