Well, without getting into politics, which would just stir-up more arguments, all I can say is this. With the benefit of hindsight, we should have seen this day coming, when EMD moved all production to Canada, THAT was the first sign of troubles within. As a railfan, I have always liked EMD's more than GE's. But as a "blue-collar" union man, I'm glad that the company that kept production in the U.S. has come out on top. <br />Not much more than a decade ago, NO U.S. built locomotives were purchased in Canada. Montreal built Alco's, and London built EMD's. Canada was willing to use our technology, but wasn't willing to allow our workers to construct the product. <br />Now, before someone accuses me of "Canada-Bashing" <br />That is not my intention here. In fact I have several friends who live "north-of-the-border". <br />So I hope none of our Canadian friends will take offense to this post. It is just my opinion of the way big corporations exploit labor. <br />Todd C.
