You are right on this one LC. It is easy for me to say. This Hillbilly and his gang of of other non-Canadian thugs and goons are destroying the company I work for. Been here for over 34 years LC, so it sure looks like I know what I'm talking about. I'm not going to apologise about the fact either. At least my *** isn't sucking air as some of the patronising bunch on this forum do. If anyone down in the US of A thinks this clown [:o)] is doing a great job running our Canadian railway the way he is, well you can have him and his cronies back. We've had quite enough of his terrorist tactics on the CNR. Good thing he's finding out the hard way that he can't get away with some of the stunts he's tried to pull in our country. Anyone that thinks HH is worth what he's paid is dead [xx(] from the neck up. Like I said a year ago on this forum. Contract negotiations on the CN are really going to knock Hillbilly down a peg or two. He got away by the skin of his teeth last winter when the CAW guys were on strike. If it had gone on just one more week it would would have been curtains for HH. The scabs and foreign replacements were running on empty after the month long walkout. Hillbilly got away with scab replacements during that strike. He won't get away with it during the next one. [8]

Sure, whatever you say...

You may have been on the CN for 34 years, but guess what, it ain't the same old, same old CN anymore. It's private now. That means that it is no longer the gubmint and has to stand on its own. I don't know what you are smoking, but you are dreaming if you don't think the strike could've gone on quite a bit longer if necessary. I don't think of myself as a management crony, but, I am a realist and the days of the old CN are gone. A few strikes and employee disturbances won't bring it back.

With all due respect L.C; from what I have watched and heard on several news stations including the CBC, I have summed up that CN management has made so many cuts in order to make themselves look lean that they are now looking a little anorectic.

BTW- I have a really interesting question to ask. That new diversion of the NS traffic that is suppost to go through Quebec and Sarasota Springs et al instead of the Buffalo Corridor; wouldn't it have already come into effect on Sunday?

The reason I ask this is I saw 334 that day with 151 cars heading west to Toronto and was definately NS interchange traffic in its consist (CSX doesn't handle some of the material via CN through here-that how I recognized it). I just thought that all that stuff would be gone now and they would remove the train or at least make the train smaller.
