Ah yes, rail systems shutting down, and I'm sure the CEO's will still find an excuse to give themselves tens or hundreds of millions in bonuses for no reason as always.
Kinda hard to get more rail competition when the tracks are owned by either CNR or CP and they wont let other freight competitors on their lines. CN barely tolerates VIA Rail passenger trains on their tracks and usually puts the VIA passenger trains on sidings to wait for a priority freight to pass.
So let me get this straight.... the truck convoy was viewed as a major threat to our national economy and so merited the use of the Emergencies Act to stop it whereas a national railway shutdown isn't as much of a concern to the Feds? Ya. Ok.
Ya know that Canadian National Railway (CN) and Canadian Pacific Railway (CP) are both owned and operated by private companies and that the "major threat to our national economy" wasn't due to anti-vax trucking companies, or individual truckers, not working or wanting to work but due to anti-vax truckers blocking international shipping lines in various cities and also in preventing other private and public companies and businesses, e.g., hospitals, home care facilities, ER vehicles, restaurants etc. from being able to operate efficiently, or at all, and in some cases, putting lives at risk.
@milomilo55 you know resturaunts were already shut down, most travel stopped? and actually no emergency vehicles were stopped, nor were hospitals blocked by any truckers. also everything at the border (which was seperate from the ottawa protest) was cleared BEFORE the emergencies act was called.

We need new legislation for big companies to promote filling jobs and fighting corporate greed. If big business like CN Air Canada if the CEO for example cant make more then 90% of the lowest employees wage. This helps keep the balance and promote jobs. This way if a CEo gets 1M raise everyone under them gets a raise to keep that is 10-90 factor. Couldn’t even move it to 12% Warren buffet has said this if companies want to thrive going forward they have to take less off the top and more into the workers. Sweden has this model and it helps fight corporate corruption and greed because you have to literally pay your employees if you want a big bonus yourself.

If all your co workers agree, then you can enjoy the same reasonable wages and benefits that union workers do. Or, you can rail against unions and see if you can negotiate on your own with your employer to obtain a similarly reasonable compensation package for yourself. Can you be as successful as a union?

Don't bother asking pipeline pierre - you already know what answer you'll get 😂
I hope the union wins! There's NO WAY that they're asking for too much, and I can say that not having a clue what they're asking for!
Must be a journalist.
Send in the police with horses
Am I getting you right? Do you want the police to use their horses to move railcars? Or do you want the police to confront the management or the union bargaining agents and get them to be more reasonable?

Trucking will have higher demand then I guess.
unions...more money...we non union...pay more for everything. What is it that union's do again?
If all your co workers agree, then you can enjoy the same reasonable wages and benefits that union workers do. Or, you can rail against unions and see if you can negotiate on your own with your employer to obtain a similarly reasonable compensation package for yourself. Can you be as successful as a union? As I see it, there's no rational reason for not belonging to a union, especially if the employer is a member of an industry association (otherwise know as a lobbying group or corporate union).
Quick get out and buy TP before the close of CP hahah❤😂
