The A2A line would transport oil, as well as grain, ore, and other containerized goods.

Our twat is too busy destroying a nation, nation building is a thing of the past in Canada.

God I wish we could get rid of that Trudeau Government cancer.

Because the rail lines are so prompt and helpful now.

There’s currently a shortage of cars of all sorts, as well as engines to pull them. Short line tracks are constantly being decommissioned due to this lack of equipment and inability to upkeep the tracks.

But you think if we just stick a line from somewhere in Alberta to an Alaskan port it will magically be wonderful? Trump would have to pull stuff out of his butt for that to be true.

Every farm should run with the bare minimum equipment, only one tractor, etc.

See how efficient we become.

We have Railway crossings we can barely drive across....suppose that's our fault too. Right of ways that were sterilized now nothing but Canada thistles, absinthe and everything else but grass growing.

FÚCKING STUPID.

Zero pride.

Which begs the question again in a wide spaced country like ours why is there not more investment in rail? Oh ya if we do that we wouldn’t need the pipe line which has become more about pride to get it than practicality.

Canada will neve grow without better rail networks....the fact the rail lines were tore out without a comprehensive study of changing farming practices is a history lesson we should learn from...


To ignore the economics if rail in this country like we have under all parties is an embarrassment and nothing to take pride in...

A country can not grow without it. .unless Toronto is a country upon itself

Uhh its a Canadian company as the sponsor blaithin. Trump isnt building it. The economics were done 15 yrs ago.

Why would you disparage a connection to the greater trading world?

Come on Blaithin, get on the Trump train, you’ll enjoy the ride.

We need all modes of transport and export infrastructure. Rail, ports, pipelines, highways, airports, comm networks, elec lines.

What we dont need is sustainable bike paths and green energy scams.

The CWB probably had more to do with the shortline abandonment than anything else. If you have restricted grain movement and apportioned sales, obviously something has to give.

Actually the wheat board helped keep smaller lines running to accept grain from smaller elevators. It’s all run by the elevator companies now who don’t give a dam about small towns

Local Richardson, not.on my home town rail line, donated something like $15,000 to my community's rink.
