I had a feeling I should have gone to the store to stock up on toilet paper. And milk (can freeze) and clothes detergent, and coffee, and potatoes, and bread (can freeze), and flour, and, oh for pete's sake, by the time I get to the store, the shelves will be empty anyhow. What to do. What to do?

In my 60+ years on this planet, one thing I’ve learned is you don’t mess with unions—especially not the Teamsters. They’ve got a long history of fighting for workers’ rights, and when they stand up, they do it with real power. Anyone who tries to go against them usually learns the hard way that they’ve bitten off more than they can chew.

Stay strong union members. Don’t roll over

Warren buffet and the other CN company makes hundreds of millions of dollars it’s time for workers to stand their ground.

The teamsters local union will need to be fine in court for their disregard to the economic situation they have caused not only in Canada but internationally.

As long as the Canada pension arrives at end of month.
You see I'm a lot like Canada's greedy corporate CEOs.
