Financial Post- CP Rail shutdown begins across the country as labour talks continue
In the last 2 years paycheques have seen a 30% shitkicking from inflation. There is going to be labour unrest like never seen since the 1980s.

CP strike will damage western Canada’s economy. Wonder how long it takes for The Bong to realize there’s a critical strike on.
The typical Lieberal move will be to declare rail an essential service and legislate against the strike. They then can threaten to seize strikers bank accounts (but not the union coffers though)
Interesting point A bank account for an individual is no different than a bank account for a Union. Or a Corporation…
Yes but the union is more likely to make a big donation so their coffer will not be touched
No, they should seize all of the bank accounts anyway connected: all union members, the union, CP Rail’s, any non-unionized CP employee, all CP shareholders, anyone who provides support to any of the above.
I think that covers Liberal Party policy.

Since it’ll hurt western Canada, do you think that twit would care?
Er, no.
We could speed it up significantly by shutting off all oil and gas pipelines to Eastern Canada.
Sure. That’ll happen
Alberta has been standing under turdo’s piss-stream for 6 or 7 years and hasn’t even opened an umbrella.

Exactly…Trudeau, with his gob knobblin buddy Kenney in the top spot for now, The (_i_) kissing and fellating of the liberal Party & PMO shall continue unabated.
Kenney…?? F’ing TRAITOR to the west IMO.
Like you, I was betrayed by Kenney. While he delivered us from the ravages of Wretched Rachel the Rancid, I thought he was going to begin the process of dissociating Alberta from the rest of Canada. He didn’t and had no intention of doing so.
It’s best that we be rid of him, though not at the expense of another term of Knothead.
““We are very disappointed with this turn of events,” said Dave Fulton, Teamsters spokesperson at the bargaining table. “They set the deadline for a lockout to happen tonight, when we were willing to pursue negotiations. Even more so, they then moved the goalpost when it came time to discuss the terms of final and binding arbitration.””
The union is blaming the company, even after the union sent in a strike notice, after CP issued the lockout notice. All the union had to do once the Lockout notice was in hand was nothing, but no, they decided to go on strike
It’s all propaganda and optics.
Scumbag Trudeau will have another reason to blame others. It’s never his fault, he was “working”/”continue to work” in making Canada the new Wakanda. But Covid. But Freedom Convoy. But Putin. And now CP Rail strike.
It’s still Harper’s fault.
Thank God Harper came along, otherwise it would still be Mulroney’s fault.
Good.
Trust a union to pull this stunt and trust this useless government to bugger this up further before printing off some problem-solving money.
Let people be under-employed or unemployed and pay inflated costs to keep their studio apartments heated and dollar store mustard refrigerated.
Canadians voted for all of this. They won’t learn from this but they will suffer.
I am past the point of caring about these people because they ruined a once great country called Canada.
You know what else they voted for?
A nuclear war with Russia in which they will be lucky if they are only crushed to death under the remains of the studio apartment.
You know what else? The United States was once a great country. Canada never was. Canada is a dumping ground for people unable to either win wars and unwilling to die on their feet—from the French Canadians to the Syrian “refugees.”
An MPP or an MP is elected to represent their constituents. It is literally their job mandate and the structure in which our parliamentary system is built upon.
However, when special interest groups (funded outside Canada), multinational businesses and other governing bodies (e.g., U.N., USA, China) start dictating the people’s best interests, than that electoral system is without merit.
We have become, quite literally, a testing bed for globalization and, guess what, it is working wonders for everyone except the average Canada.
An MPP or an MP is elected to represent their constituents.
Hahahahahahahaha! It wasn’t that way nearly 40 years ago when I was out of work. My MP at the time, a prominent Conservative, huffed and puffed in the House but did zippo as far as his constituents were concerned. Useless twit.
Amen, DR
Once every 4 years, our Conservative MP comes around knocking on doors to represent his leader’s platform to us. Not once in the past 16 years has he come knocking on doors to ask what we want, so he could better represent our wishes to the HOC. And the b**t*rd has half the year off to do just that.
During the early ’80s, things were rough for many of us as there was widespread unemployment in western Canada, thanks to PET’s war on Alberta. I wrote to Useless Twit, expressing my frustration at doing everything that those fatuous gits in Ottawa were saying I should do, but I still couldn’t get a job.
UT didn’t even bother contacting me himself. His secretary–his SECRETARY!–called and I should try with Canada Manpower.
That’s why we elect those morons–to tell us the bleedin’ obvious. And they work to hard at being incompetent that they need another raise in a few days time, don’t they? I’ve known union shops that were more productive.
That display of ineptitude back then put me off politics for more than 30 years. I didn’t bother voting properly in subsequent elections. I may have cast a ballot, but I made sure it was spoiled.
Except for that Second World War thing.
First World War thing (the whole four year thing, not the last few months like the Americans thing)…
Korean War thing…
Don’t forget the ‘loyalists” nice name for American cowards who peed their knickers at the thought of opposing George III.
I’d mostly prefer the whole ****ing system just burn down at this point. A great many people need to be cured of “It’ll never happen to ME”.
There is little or no feed wheat and barley left in Alberta and any decent quality wheat and barley has been cleaned for seed in hopes that we have a decent crop this year. Currently, most feedlots in Alberta are relying on corn coming in on the rail from the United States. This could be disastrous.
As an aside, beef coming into the stores starting in the next month or so will be corn fed, quite a difference to what consumers are used to.
I am a small, part time farmer (about 50 head) and I market our beef directly to the consumers in the city. I have enough barley to last into June and I refuse to feed corn. I am looking into spent distillers grain or something like that to get me through to this fall when the new crop comes off. It is not a huge deal for me as I feed about 1/2 the grain per head per day as the feedlots do and finish them more slowly. Hay and silage prices are astronomical if you are out of feed. Praying for a wet spring and rain this summer. It will be very ugly and many will be forced to sell this summer/fall if it is another dry one.
I understand your troubles but I doubt the powers that be care about cattle ranchers and finishers. After all, they are destroying the climate with their flatulence. The powers ‘behind the curtain’ have to clue about the utility of cattle to convert byproducts and inedibles (grass) into protein. Not a clue, not a care. Grain screening pellets?
farmerboy
Yes the politicians are destroying the climate with their verbal flatulence:-)))
Sounds like an attack on Canada’s critical infrastructure are the “racists & rapists” going to have their bank accounts seized?
Time to invoke the Emergency Measures Act and send in the horses, and quickly before the Senate votes on it!!!!
As long as they wear masks and stay 6 feet apart on the picket lines we’ll be fine.
And, the picket lines will block access for others. But, those who condemned the truckers won’t care because it is their guys doing the blockading.
Honking horns, big trucks and bouncy castles in Ottawa are a National Emergency but a rail stoppage at this time isn’t? Which side has Castreau in their pocket? (Maybe both?)
He won’t bother about the rail strike as the brand-spanking new Playstation that little Hadrian absolutely has to have will be air-freighted in from China.
COULD OF HAD A PIPELINE.
Won’t take long to clog the oil operations dependent on “rail” pipelines.
Nutrien already to suspend potash mining in Sask.
Give it a week.
On the plus side derailments drop.
No wildlife deaths on tracks.
Guibeault looks just as glum.
Unlike when Indians do it, there is great panic and concern.
Obviously Blackie will freeze and seize the bank accounts of every union member who pays dues.
Rail Strike?
Who cares?,cries the geniuses in Ottawa.the freight will deliver itself.
The Children’s Crusade infesting Ottawa has no fear of CP Rail shutting down.
First,they do not understand the consequences.
Second;
It would be great cover for the already collapsing supply chains..
And the cost of fuel and food will rise even further,but now they can blame evil trade unionists for the inflation.
And cause it is Canadian Pacific,it will not impact Ontario and Quebec as much..
No political capital lost here.
I look forward to the future,where rail freight crossing Buffalo is subject to tarifs and customs inspection,just cause we can.
Retribution is like revenge,best served cold.
Why worry?
We don’t need no stinking freight.
Food comes from the back of the grocery store! Gasoline comes from that pump thing at the corner store!
The iPhone comes from the Amazon driver! Supper tonight is delivered by that Uber guy!
Railways are antique 19th century curiosities. Surely we could do without them. They’re so noisy and block the roads!
Justin has got our backs!
