Frak….and I was hoping they’d come to an agreement.

We’re all fooked and now the farmers are even more fooked.

Hopefully they are legislated back this week no one needs more delays at this point.

IIRC CP Rail was going to lock them out tonight anyway. So I guess it’s a pre-emotive move.

Looks like it's mostly Teamster beefs about CN increasing productivity to reduce the number of Teamsters.

Between the CN just refusing to ship south of Brantford for fear of loosing a 50 million dollar locomotive to a native blockade and Unions now, serious lack of trucks running, especially out of Quebec .
For those though that thought building material was out of control , watch lumber pricing on this one. And everything else.
