Day 60 Hunger Strike; Jackson v CNCP

[TOM4CWB]

Thanks Willy,

Many folks in the country I speak with are flabbergasted by the CNCPrail lack of 'general public' consideration for reputation the CNCP railway brands acquire with this move against farmers.

Western Canadians are truly in a changing political landscape, CNCP Rail collusion/lack of public relations concern in CTA review respecting grain transportation service/performance surprises almost everyone without question.

We will need to fight every mm of this journey... of this there is no question.

There never was anything to sue over. More specifically win at suing over.

Thanks Tweety,

Perhaps you SHould hang out your shingle. Folks always need new faces to represent them!
Cheers.

You never did answer my question.

Before taking on CNCP in court did you talk to Sinclair Harrison at FRCC to see if they had consider it, or if it was even possible to do so?

Sinclair (FRCC) would have had a lot of valuable information on the entire file which cut have helped your court case against CNCP. To me this would be doing my homework before starting.

[TOM4CWB]

Forage.

1) I am NOT a Lawyer.
2) I was NOT in charge of this file... my name was simply the farmer to represent the class of grain farmers in western Canada...
3)that CNCP overcharged...
4)which we know happened...
5)because after the CTA Cap was lowered because of these overpayments on rail car maintenance... CNCP fought to stop the CTA cap reductions;
6)Because the Railways revenue decrease attributed Hopper grain rail car Maintenance for the (close to) two decades of RR overpayments.
7) How else can I answer these questions... as the Farmer Rail Car Coalition did not, and were not, asking the courts to return to grain growers any of these overcharges on maintain... which;
8) now CNCP say this money was NOT overpayments... but simple entitlements they (CNCP)were allowed to take... above the actual costs to maintain the cars.
9) I do not see that FRCC is a lawyer.
10) CNCP did not throw this Class Action out as 'Frivolous and Vexatious' or charge Tom Jackson with slander before the ruling in the Alberta Courts.
11) Had CNCP wanted... and proceeded with the 'no chance' 'Frivolous and Vexatious' motions in Alberta COurts... 12) I am sure that CNCP had the legal minds... and corporate motivation... to throw out this Class Action.... before CNCP wasted well of their own funds (well over $1.3M) fighting this Class Action.

I hope I have explored all the corners of your imagination... and clearly answered all questions that I could possibly answer in a factual manner.

Cheers!

Tom How did your name get on the file verse anyone else?

[TOM4CWB]

BTW Foragefarmer...
1)Alberta Pulse Growers (APG)was a member of FRCC... and;
2) I was the Commissioner appointed to represent Alberta pulse growers on FRCC... So;
3) Jackson had knowledge and access FRCC information relevant to this case as represented to Alberta COurts in this Class Action.
4) CNCP tried to throw this out of court... saying I (Jackson in Jackson v CNCP) was not representative of the class of western Canadian grain growers injured by possible overpayments to CNCP on rail car Maintenance... CNCP lost that argument and did NOT have the Class Action dismissed on that issue... as I understand this.

[TOM4CWB]

Wm,
The Lawyers filing this class action correctly determined I was a western Canadian grain grower affected by the CNCP possible overpayment, sought to be compensated for.

[TOM4CWB]

Wm,
As stated above... Alberta Class Actions assume all grain growers in western Canada were covered by the filed application... unless they specifically signed out... which supposedly made the action easier to administrate for those filing for Class Action status.

Never fight a land war in Asia. Never poke CNCP. You're gonna lose.
