    This would be really funny if it wasn't fucking with the livelihoods of prairie farmers. Bins full of product they can't move. The longer they can't move it, the less they'll be willing to sell it for... ...I could go on.

    It is taking a fucking measure of self control to keep this from turning into a 2,000 word tirade.

    Support Canada�s western grain producers

    Western farmers are coming out of a bumper cop but can�t move their product to market.
    Both the Canadian Pacific Railway (CP) and the Canadian National Railway (CN) have enjoyed the benefits of rising grain revenues. Yet their service to producers has decreased while lengthy delays and backlogs continue.

    Farmers� livelihoods rely directly on grain transportation. The price of grain varies from day to day and if farmers can�t move their grain when they need to, they can�t get paid for it.

    Stephen Harper eliminated the Canadian Wheat Board without developing a new plan for grain transportation. Now farmers are forced to take on debt while the Conservatives conduct a five-year investigation.

    Canada�s grain producers have bills to pay now. It�s time for action to get Canada�s railways moving.
