Well yes and No I love my Job, plain and simple. If there was a sudden Transit strike, I would find an engineer, and we would have the only Train running on time. Why? I hate unions, And I hate Strikes, All I want to do is what I do best. WORK. and no strike/storm/ or anyhting else is foinf to stop me from working.. holding up a picket sign, what good does that do other then inconvienience the passengers? I've worked on that job now for a few years, and for those people who have said that that will wear of, and you'll be wanting a strike so you don't have to do any work.. Heres a news flash.. it hasn't worn off, and I still love my work and the people. <center>[quote]QUOTE: No one needs to work for a railroad anymore. But they might want to." </center> [/quote] I hate statements like that. They are so general. If i could disagree anymore, I WOULD. Conductors will always be needed on the passenger service to keep the People inline, and to keep the journey rolling along smoothly and safely. People up in Canada have a NEED to work for the Railway, perhaps we are the only nation who realizes it's true value. We realize up here, that my watch will be maximum 5 to 10 minutes different from yours (not including time change) yeah, you can that the Railraod for Standerdizing time. Perhaps we Realize that The Railroad Built Canada, and Not Canada built the Railroad. 80% of the population of Canada is located withing 20 - 50 miles of a major Railway except where major Cities have developed, Yeah we can thank them for that. The Railraod started us off, perhaps, and asuming you DON'T know your history, Mr. Hemphill, June 1st 1872, was a historic Date for Canada. The Canadian Pacific Railraod act was passed and a member of the house of commons, Sir Georges Etienne Cartier stood up and yelled "ALL Aboard for the WEST!" that was one of the few times, no matter what you where, liberal, or a Torie, you stood up and aplauded. Since then that has happened about 3 or 4 times. Imagine that, an event that had both official parties clapping? So the Railraod Built us, And we are very thankful up north. So perhaps that isn't somehting you want to say outloud up here, Don't get me wrong, you can say whatever you want, but generally it's more appreciated that you have some kind of Educational degree to back up the Evidence you have presented/brought forward. Your statement was simmilar to the one "Trash cans can be made of metal, No one needs a trash can made of metal, but it can be made of metal if it wants to be Quite similar to your quote, really. They are both IRRELIVANT and USELESS facts. Perhaps your nation was not built by the Railraod, perhaps it was built by a flying Saucer, or Aliens from mars who came down with a Ray gun and magically constructed houses out west, or perhaps a boing 747 landed in California and thats how it all started. It takes a lot of Nerve to wirte that in a Trains magazine, and I still can't figure out what it's intention was, wa sit to put people to shame, make people realize that unemployment is better for them? Not to put you down Ed, I don't compare my salery to Mr. Fed-Ex, or Johnny UPS, or the local garbage man, Yeah they probobly make more thne i do.. but hey WHO cares? I enjoy doing what I do. Period. End of sentance. Two reasons NOT to subscribe to Trains magazine for it, 1) They price up here, is an Arm a leg three teeth and your Girlfriend for 3 nights, 2) And the people who Write for that magazine would make the First president of the CP Railway roll over in agony in his grave, and if i was dead and heard that, it would make me turn in agony too, not because what was said was annoying, but because what was said was so Ignorant, I'm all the dumber for reading it! it has no intellectual basis whatsoever, It is a very bias remark from someone who can wirte an editiorial and SIT in AN OFFICE all day! What you got planned for next month.. or do I not want to know.. Your killing my Brain cells faster then any illegal drug ever could!
