As a railroad conductor who started his career on the Wisconsin Central and ended up becoming an employee of the Canadian National when CN bought out WC, I have expirienced first hand what Canadian railroad management is like. CN's business plan can be summed up on three points: 1.) Cut costs by avoiding maintenance on track, locomotives, cars, and infrastructure. 2.) Keep employee moral low, fire supervisors who let employee's go home if they worked less than ten hours. 3.) Charge shippers more for degraded service, drop shippers who complain. I'll let anyone who reads this message draw their own conclusions.
