Canadian Pacific Snap Near Takeover by Government
Negotiations in New York reportedly aim to cancel running powers of Canadian Pacific on the Inter Colonial route between St John Nova Scotia and Halifax. The government could take control of the Montreal to Halifax line, ending CP's cross border traffic and its annual 6000 pound subsidy. The move stems from a long standing political deal and the government’s desire to retain the entire Montreal Halifax track.
