Canadian Railroad Tragedy

Canadian Railroad Tragedy
“There was a time in this fair land when the railroad did not run
In July of this year, it's becase of the VIA Rail Un-i-on”

In Canada VIA Rail train engineers go on strike stranding hundreds of travellers.

Re: Canadian Railroad Tragedy

good one, Yuri...remember Gord making a comment about keeping the Via going way back during his FPC appearance

I think there's a related verse that goes:

Toronto Garbage Tragedy
"Their parks were overflowing with the litter of their day"
(make that 34 days)

no garbage strike out this way but many lawn signs protesting new dump site proposals...other than that and the End of All Time weather, summer is chuggin' along fine

cheers,
Jim
