[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by BentnoseWillie [quote]QUOTE: CN seems to have interest in the resources we have here in the US. [/quote]'Scuse me? Canada-US trade balance is the other way 'round - the US imports Canadian resources (we were their second-largest supplier of crude oil in 2002). Meanwhile, we import US manufactured goods. We sell more than we buy, because they outnumber us ten to one. I don't see a surprise in CN integrating more US roads. US investors bought most of CN nearly a decade ago, and the majority of its business is cross-border, so further integration was inevitable, as was "Americanisation" at the top executive level. "Y'gotta dance with the one what brung ya", after all. Integration has been going on for a century or longer, but it's more overt recently because of evolving regulatory environments. Like it or not, it was bound to happen. Change is the only constant. [/quote] that is the voice of wisdom,....you are absolutely correct. Funny, but when Canadian interests were buying up USA "trophies" back in the 1980's, it was considered "bad form" if we ugly americans protested the workings of the "free market" It's sad, yet at the same time gratifying to see the ugliness now that the shoe is on the other foot. Carter, Hawley, Hale anyone?
