Thanks Minister Gerry... for helping make this happen!!!

The comment almost like "let them eat cake": who advises him anyway?

To me its a mouth in high gear and brain in neutral scenario. The comments are so out of this world that sometimes they seem to come from an alternate universe.

Deny, deny, deny. And with some foresight, preplanning and a slower transition(they had 4 fricken years to implement something "workable") this may have been somewhat mitigated.

Please note, I'm not crying for the old system back but if some checks and balances had been implemented.... still need them today, no less that before.

Go ahead a blame it on the "perfect storm" harsh winter and large crop. So with the wave of the Minister's magic ostrich feather everything has/will sort itself out, for that is their way. Monopolies, Duopolies and Oligopolies need regulations, because they can't be trusted to do it themselves.

Ritz has said a lot of stupid comments over the years. He has the gift to gab on and on and say nothing.Hope he gets to check out the view from the other side of the house for the rest of his political career.

Braveheart, Your 100% right grain companies do decide where trains get spotted based on vessel line up at port. This may be either very good for a location or very bad if they have the grain and quality needed at port they get cars.
