Canadian Pacific said discussion of grain should be based on facts, not rhetoric
MONTREAL — Faced with new pressures to move what is expected to be a bumper grain crop, Canadian Pacific Railway says any discussion of the challenges of moving the key Western Canadian commodity should be based on facts.
Railway president Keith Creel said Wednesday the company is working with its grain partners to “optimize the supply chain.”
“I think all players will work together to improve on these efficiencies and if things do go south on us, at least the farmers and at least the government clearly understand what can and can’t be controlled,” he said, a day before farmers are to meet with federal Transport Minister Marc Garneau.
“And if it is things that we can’t control, our opinion is that they will do the prudent thing and act on fact, not on rhetoric and speculation.”
