I much more prefer CN. Being HQ'ed in Montreal (vs Calgary for CP), they're more progressive...well, at least, for a railroad. They just hired the 2nd Class I female CEO, and the folks I've worked with were always quite diverse demographically. My experience has bee CP employees are coat and tie, white males largely. They'll nickel-and-dime the hell out of you versus CN. CN is much more relationshippy; CP more strictly about business.

I wonder what CP has promised this shipper for their support.
