If Warren Buffet and his BNSF go after the NS, it would appear to me to be
akin to what the Northern Trust tried to do back around 1900 or so.
President Teddy Roosevelt took them on in one of the first uses of the
Sherman Anti-Trust Act cases and won. This would appear to be the same
thing, as would the merger of CP and NS. However, because of Canadian laws,
the merged CP and NS would have to be headquartered in Canada, so would
become a Canadian corporation. Bad ju-ju, especially if the US part of the
corporation, NS, makes more money for the bottom-line than the Canadian
portion.

Anyway, JMHO (and worth every penny you paid for it ;-))
