Opinion: Canadian National is too important for Canada to remain a private company. CN was better for Canada as a public corporation. In its private form, it has primarily been beneficial to Bill Gates (CN’s largest shareholder).

If railways are so strategically vital to the economy that the federal government is encouraged to useto prevent a strike, then the time has come to renationalize Canadian National.

An important threshold has been crossed when the workers of a given industry or service are considered so essential they are legally prohibited from exercising the essential right to strike. Railroad workers are not normally considered to be as essential as nurses, for example, but the rail industry and its allies habitually insinuate an economic catastrophe would occur should railroad workers ever go on strike.

Why not to evoke emergency act declare all strikers terrorists and freeze their bank accounts seems it is a favourite measure if black face clown.

No. Canada needs functioning railways.

No thanks. 6M Canadians don't have a family doctor and people are dying waiting to get in ER's Trains work... why would we want to nationalize them and watch them fail 15% of the time?

Canadian Government would rather send in the Mounties to crack Canadian skulls than take a company away from some rich people...

Must be getting ready to lose money, keep it private

The name Canada has been smeared by Justin Trudeau and his sad sack cabinet

OMG!!!

No thanks, comrade...
