I don't disagree with what you are saying and you are not wrong, but it is also key to remember that when the Wheat Board was dismantled, CP and CN rail immediately started maximizing their profitability to the extreme by cutting down on available rail cars, leaving a lot of small producers out in the cold, especially if they were in a geographically disadvantaged position. It becomes extra nasty when you realize it is American interests that own large portions of CP and CN, in particular Bill Gates alone owns more than 10% of CN.
