And Manitoba, and Alberta.  Because suing Ottawa over the same thing worked out so well.

These forever agreements are everywhere and were popular in the late 1800's apparently. Union Pacific via Texas & Pacific had an agreement to always have shops open and staffed to a specific number of employees in Palestine, TX to infinity. I think UP finally and just recently got that fixed via the court system. I know again locally where I live they made an agreement with former Southwestern Bell around 1930-1940, that if they took over our local telephone exchange our city would be forever bound as a Southwestern Bell monopolistic Franchise.....this transferred to AT&T, and only now is it breaking up due to the cut the cable - streaming TV movement.
