"I don't think taxpayer interests would be served by those proposals," Whalen said. "The concern has to be that there are public dollars involved."
Does CBC even fact check anymore? Who needs context when juicy quotes like this will be enough to rile up all the right wing dwellers of the comment section?
Anyway, CP will need to convert to electric eventually but they certainly don't need to be put in change of creating free public charging stations. Leave that responsibility to gas stations where it can be properly monetized and maintained.
I bet if CP got behind banking but said it'd be non-unionized (as most banks are I believe?) the union would be crying foul at the loss of dues. Just another self serving cash grab, I'd never trust CP with my money.
