Whats the total at now for the churchill rail line

[bucket]

Another 117 million spent to repair the line that the previous owners had been on a government funding to repair...

And yet guys think getting money to the primary pulse producer is a bad thing...

Well AGT is now on the government program for that rail line as well...

Industry does OK as long as governments help them out...

Farmers not so much.
Everyone knew government money was coming by the players involved.

Are you talking about how much goes to repairs or how much goes in the pockets. Hahahah

Looks like it's all going to pockets......

Well with AGT, Fairfax and an Indian band involved, peoplekind in Churchill better not hold their breath for the rail line to be repaired.

Why not fix it, you try and build a rail line of any distance for $117 million. Once it's gone it will never comeback. Bucket, hasn't there been enough rail line abandonment in this country already?

There is always more potential for any area in this country if there is a road or rail line running through it. Get it fixed!

[bucket]

Then they should be involved in other areas as well.....how about ensuring a local 10000 tonne concrete elevator remains operational for the same reasons?

Just like the roads in this country are paid for and owned by taxpayers in the public interest, maybe it is time we consider that the railways should be owned and paid for by taxpayers so that we can run a more efficient and effective transportation system that works in everyone's interest.

Railways are bound to serve the interests of shareholders first. Without good rail infrastructure and fair prices for transportation of goods we are at a big disadvantage.

chuck chuck government is not good at running anything efficient . HELLO!!!!

[fjlip]

Private, shareholders interests and PROFIT above all plus NO competition makes the current situation comparable to wasteful inefficient government cost. No real answer is there?

Are you in favour of privatizing the road system and moving to a user pay system? Because that will ensure that heavy trucks hauling up to 43 mt of ag. commodities will pay a bigger share of the cost of building and maintaining the road system.
