Freeland vows no tolerance for "self-inflicted wound" as prospect of rail strike in Canada

It is “entirely unacceptable” for parties in a looming nationwide railway shutdown to risk sabotaging Canada’s economic progress, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland says. “It is entirely unacceptable for anyone to get in the way of that economic progress that we have all been making and that has been so hard-fought and so hard-won,” Freeland told reporters. She said Canadians expect Canadian Pacific Kansas City Ltd., Canadian National and the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference to negotiate in good faith and reach a solution. “Your customers expect that, your customers’ employees expect that, farmers … expect that. Canada and Canadians expect that,” she said. “We cannot tolerate a self-inflicted wound.” For more info, please go to https://globalnews.ca/news/10708750/rail-shutdown-negotiations-canada/ Subscribe to Global News Channel HERE: http://bit.ly/20fcXDc Like Global News on Facebook HERE: http://bit.ly/255GMJQ Follow Global News on X HERE: http://bit.ly/1Toz8mt Follow Global News on Instagram HERE: https://bit.ly/2QZaZIB #GlobalNews #canada #cnrail #rail #cdnpoli #freeland
