Fertilizer Canada is Deeply Concerned by Rail Work Stoppage and Lack of Action from the Federal Government

Fertilizer Canada is deeply concerned that CN Railway and Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) could not reach agreements with the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference (TCRC), resulting in a dual rail stoppage. Rail is vital to Canada’s economy, trade, and food security.

We are disappointed with the lack of action from the federal government despite calls from many Canadian and American stakeholders to prevent this devastating disruption. We continue to call on the federal government to take immediate action and direct the Canadian Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) to help all parties reach agreements through binding arbitration that prohibits TCRC from undertaking strike action and CN and CPKC from lockout action. We are calling on all political parties to support getting our railways running and refrain from making this a political issue.

The federal government should have no higher priority than getting our railways moving.

Video: What does a typical day of harvest look like?

We are a family farm in Ontario showing you what we do on our farm to produce eggs and what goes on day to day. Every day we do chores, gather eggs and make feed. On our farm we plant the crops and harvest them to feed the chickens, also we start our laying hens from day old chicks and raise them to be the best birds they can be to give you a grade A quality egg. After we are finished looking after our chickens, anything could happen from washing, waxing, fixing, welding, working on engines, working on classic cars, and more. I hope everyone enjoys cheers.
