CN RAIL STRIKE CRIPPLING GRAIN GROWERS

"Farmers are on the front lines of this strike, relying on rail to move goods to markets all over the world," the Grain Growers of Canada said in a statement.
"This disruption, coupled with a universally disastrous harvest could have an impact from which some farmers never recover. The time for government action is now."
"Ideally, CN and its employees will reach an agreement soon. However, there must be a backup plan in the event that they do not," the letter reads.
The Liberals have demurred, saying they want the two sides to reach an agreement.  "This would be the best for every party and the fastest solution," Agriculture Marie-Claude Bibeau said yesterday in Regina.
