Feds hope back-to-work legislation will beat economic 'chaos'

The federal government is hoping to pass legislation ordering 2,800 striking employees at CN Rail back to work before the walkout brings economic "chaos" down upon the country. "The economy of Canada, the economic activity of Canada, is going off the rails." "Companies are shutting down, one after another. Workers are losing their jobs. ... Citizens of our country aren't getting the basic necessities of life, food and fuel. Ford Motor Co. of Canada shut down its St. Thomas plant in southwestern Ontario after a material shortage caused by the continuing strike, a spokeswoman for the company said Friday.
The closure affected 2,300 people at the plant, which makes the Crown Victoria and Grand Marquis. The workers had been on short shifts for two weeks because of the strike.

Gas shortage strands drivers in Elliot Lake

There's no panic at the pumps quite yet, but a gas shortage in Ontario has already stranded drivers in at least one northern community and left motorists in the province's biggest city accusing retailers of hiking their prices to take advantage.
The only working gas station in Elliot Lake, Ont., west of Sudbury, has run out of fuel due to a shortage brought on by a fire at an Imperial Oil refinery last week. The closest place to buy gasoline is nearly 60 kilometres away in the town of Blind River.

So. What is the common link here? Simple. This is just a very, very, small snippet of the crap that is going to hit the idle fan if either of two things occur.

One....the Feds, any Feds, bring about NEP II. Because Alberta and its oil and gas will be gone! Any that does make it to the ROC will cost so much, that only the rich politicos and their cronies will be able to afford it.

Two....the Kyoto eco-cultists get their way, and this money-laundering scam is implemented to its fullest.

If either of the above does happen, the lemmings in the ROC had better start taking lessons from this guy!

The one silver lining in this cloud? Alberta will be an indepentant country! Who says good things can't happen?
