Railways are playing games again. Why can't canada get its shit together.

Well here is a out of the box idea,

Ottawa buys Suncor and gifts it too indigionous groups, as a final settlement, self govt, self supporting ethnic entitled group.


Lots of pros and cons to this.

This is the Canadian reality:
lets project growth.
lets do value add to diversity the economy, in all sectors.
Lets have a seed tax so farmers can grow better varieties so they can grow more.
Lets have fight the environment with a carbon tax.
But then fail to provide the legislation to insure the most efficient form of traffic works: rail.


Sad that a resource based economy cannot build pipelines to go to the market, and depends on rail.
Sad that the folks who protest likely will depend at some point in their life in the revenue that a viable resource industry generates to the GDP.

The reality it the rail network with increased traffic will need tonnes of new investment & maintenance, and likely more derailments as a result of a pressured infrastructure, something needs to give. Look in the mirror.

I am adding a negotiating point to the seed tax: no tax, unless we can get grain to market without delay and serve the value add network we need, and was promised when we gave up the CROW.

They can't just say the grain will move as the trade off for a seed tax ......prove it.....this constant deer in the headlight look when SHTF is getting old already.....1997 2013 and again now....

Why is it always primary producers paying the bill??????
