The strike at CN Rail has left Quebec with fewer than five days before it runs out of propane, said Premier Francois Legault, who warned of an “emergency” that could wreak havoc at hospitals, nursing homes and farms.

The premier expressed hope for a settlement between the railway and the union, but called on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the opposition parties to pass back-to-work legislation if necessary ahead of Parliament’s scheduled return on Dec. 5.

Eat more beans, buy long rubber hoses and attach to natural gas lines. Problem solved.

QUEBEC — Premier François Legault has welcomed Alberta premier-designate Jason Kenney’s offer to work together, but has repeated there is no social acceptability for a new oil pipeline crossing Quebec

This guy is the height of hypocrisy. He opposes or blocks building a pipeline to help distribute Alberta and Saskatchewan oil to the Maritime provinces. The old saying was let the eastern bastards freeze in the dark.

Having experienced -40F in Quebec on one trip and -30F during another I can attest to the fact that it can get chilly up there.
