The CN guy who caused the big dustup at CP Rail. CN sure had a bad safety record with that guy. (IC1998 to 2009)

Anywho. The New York CEO of CP Rail: lay-offs. E. Hunter Harrison.

2010 mystery cargo.

Here's a train going around in circles. Train 503 shipped the biodiesel to Port Huron, Mich., from Sarnia, Ont.; Train 504 brought them back.

These new transmission (power) lines will help Albertans. It will reduce their electrical bills, except for a mere $3/mo residential customer interim, like shoot-shovel-and-shutup-Ralph-Klein's energy-deregulation did. (ha)

Ooops. Dec 7, 2012. "AltaGas withdraws permit to export to U.S."
"AltaGas filed the application in error, and has no plans to sell power from Alberta to the U.S. We expect to withdraw the application," said AltaGas spokesperson Neil Mackie.

May 19, 2011. "Wikileaks offers insight on Alberta power lines"

Cellucci writes that Alberta’s former Energy Minister Murray Smith “and others” want the U.S. government to be “aware that over time there will be tremendous electricity co-generation available as a result of the huge thermal needs of the oil sands refining process.” “This could over time make significant new electricity exports available to the United States.” The diplomatic cable also reveals Alberta’s provincial ministers and energy sector executives “broadly” supported “U.S. goals in Iraq” and resented former federal Natural Resource Minister Herb Dhaliwal’s assertion that former U.S. President George Bush was a “failed statesman.”

That's OK. No biggie. This reporter (Mark Bourrie) says that China spies on Canadians: He was also asked to find out what the spiritual leader discussed in a private meeting with Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

We don't mynde! Go ahead, send fake emails! 翻译此页 This is not the first time such emails have been sent. The first wave of fraudulent emails was sent in 2010 to Edmonton theatre managers in an apparent attempt to stop Shen Yun from performing in the city. In 2011, emails were sent to at least three Edmonton city councillors. Shar Chen, spokesperson for the Falun Dafa Association of Edmonton, said she suspects at least 12 councillors as well as the mayor received similar emails.

It was nice that parliamentary secretary and MP Bob Dechert (C-Missisauga-Erindale) apologized for those amorous e-mails.
