My local elevator mentioned this to me in the spring . At the time I thought nothing of it , however now the strike possibility has made the news . My question to you guys , is what happens if it goes ahead . What actions can we make to survive a few weeks or months of no deliveries ! Do you think Trudeau has the guts to order back to work orders . Does he care to see the farmers suffer if a strike happens . I would be very upset if contracts are delayed but not much I can do ! I wondered if a lot of rail workers will be replaced by AI or automated machines . In any rate , I hope a solution is found

I also heard that freight rates are going up in the new crop year and will effectively lower grain prices 25-50 cents.
The Liberals have mandated people back to work before, no idea how they would respond here.
One question I have is: Why is it always the best paid people in society are always the ones holding everyone else ransom for more?

A rail strike would certainly put a focus on what's important to this country. That little strip of steel going through the mountains does not get the attention it deserves. And then the country leaves it up to half dozen people in a union office as to whether or not that line operates. Once again, how would a country run for the best interests of the citizens operate. But we get tampon disensers in men's bath rooms and a national emergency over +200 children's graves at a school that dont actually exist.
Frankly, I am of the mind today that the strike should happen. I want to see how our country responds. Not just the government, but business, media, citizens, etc.
