In this special segment, Tracy speaks to Mark Walker from Cereals Canada about “Canada’s Looming National Rail Crisis.” Canada is on the brink of entering a historical and catastrophic rail crisis. Join us as we speak to Mark and clarify what is happening. In this episode: - What happens if they strike? - What are the consequences to Canada, our reliability as a trade partner, businesses, consumers, and farmers who are working hard to get the crops off and need the rail system working in full force? - What can the federal government do, and why has nothing been done? - What are the commodity groups doing? Who is representing farmers? Have you signed the stop the strike petition yet? If not, please do so. The government needs to hear us loud and clear. A special thank you to Mark for joining us on such short notice to discuss this critical event. Thank you Mark!
