They have become just that in their business ethics. They are willing to schedule over siding trains everyday, but cannot schedule a train that has a schedule to me. The
removed double track to save money, yet the amount of freight has gone up.

I have been saying one a day outside the Corridor and you balk at it. Moncton to Halifax is CN. We already bought and paid for that line. Any complaints on our usage for passenger service is moot. As far a Calgary-Edmonton, I cannot see spending the money needed for HFR there. It is a hard sell. At least with Toronto-Ottawa there is currently service to improve on.
