Smart buy considering Xiden's nixing of the Canadian/US pipeline. #1's question is worth pursuing. I don't take anything on face value anymore.

Warren Buffet owner of BNSF will probably get this deal nixed. Political donations aren't just donations, particularly when they are large.

CP owns a good deal of Canadian crude, they want to own the means of getting it to Market by getting access to Gulf of Mexico ports. A smart move on CP's part.

CP is a well-run first class company, something democrats oppose. Agree with #3-Warren Buffet is probably got his lawyers in attack mode.

I think this is a good business move...but always mindful of the backroom dealings...you never know where china's fingers are... pardon the biden reference....until WE the people can get President Trump back in the Oval Office and reinstate the Keystone pipeline... this might be a good alternative...in fact... this deal sounds like a Trump business deal...doesn't it?

Globalists, taking more and more of the control of fundamental US infrastructure outside of the USA. Canadian National already owns most of the railroads in the entire SE USA and much of the midwest. So, now, CPRR will own a huge swath of American railroads. Foreign companies should not be permitted to own large American infrastructure like this. Two Canadian (globalist) companies now will control a very large part of our rail shipments. Canadian National was a totally Canadian government owned railway until relatively recently.

The big Canadian railways were built by British interests in the old days. Who knows if those British interests control them today, along with the Canadians. There may be a problem because the rival Burlington Northern railroad is owned by Warren Buffett who is a big time old line liberal Democrat, and as such may have the go-power through Democrat politics to stop this merger. The Burlington-Northern was also the major competitor of the now defunct Canadian owned and operated Keystone Pipeline and you can see what happened to that pipeline as soon as the Democrats took over in DC.

The news broke on Tuesday that the name of the suspected mass shooter in the Boulder, Colorado supermarket incident was released. The suspect, who is accused of killing ten innocent people, including a police officer, is named Ahmad al Alissa. “Police have identified the suspect in the Boulder, Colo., shooting as Ahmad Alissa,” the New York Daily News reported. “The 21-year-old is charged with 10 counts of murder in the first degree in connection with the Monday afternoon shooting at the King Sooper supermarket, police said Tuesday at a press conference.” Reports, which haven’t been confirmed, also surfaced that the Biden administration has been briefed on potential ISIS sympathies.

This year has been a tremendously difficult year. Covid-19 was – and remains – scary and awful. For so many New Yorkers, what has also been awful over the last year has been watching the destruction of New York City – undoubtedly in large part because of a pair of egomaniac buffoons: Mayor Bill De Blasio and Governor Andrew Cuomo. New York City is a fragment of itself – abandoned stores and empty streets. The city that used to never sleep is in a slumber.

Democrats fight for the people. And by the people, they mean the oppressed and downtrodden working classes of the swamp. [SNIP] "Rice, who is among the wealthiest members of the Biden White House team, dramatically increased her wealth since her previous White House job during the Obama administration, reporting between $36 million and $149 million in various assets in her new disclosure filing released Saturday morning. That's nearly three to four times the amount she reported back in 2009, when she joined the Obama administration as the ambassador to the United Nations."

Here's a snapshot of why these violent assaults keep happening. And why they're happening so often in California and New York, in areas where crime has essentially been legalized. The upsurge in store robberies in California was driven by pro-crime measures that essentially legalized shoplifting. Now the Democrats want to all but legalize robbery. "A bill proposed by an East Bay Senator with the intent to revise the penal code is getting a lot of attention, as critics say it would essentially re-classify violent robberies to misdemeanor petty thefts. This has sparked outrage from members of the Asian American community."

After weeks of uninhibited partying on South Beach by spring breakers, police turned away throngs of people — many of them Black — from world-famous Ocean Drive with a SWAT truck, pepper balls and sound cannons. The tactics were intended to enforce an 8 p.m. curfew announced only hours earlier on Saturday to rid the city of what police and politicians have described as unruly and sometimes violent late-night crowds. [SNIP] But the use of force to clear out people of color from South Beach alarmed some Black leaders.

In a Thursday briefing at the Pentagon, Colón-López (CZ) told reporters that some troops have asked "How come you're not looking at the situation that was going on in Seattle prior to that? [Jan. 6 riot]" "This is coming from every echelon that we're talking to," CZ added.

While the last election is still fresh in the minds of most Americans, the next one is going to become an issue a lot sooner than most people think. Republicans are poised to retake the House due to redistricting alone. That and the historical fact that the first midterm for a newly minted president is almost always a bloodbath has Democrats dreading what looks to be coming. That’s why you see such a push to get rid of the filibuster now. Democrats know they are on borrowed time, and they want to push through what they can now.
