CALGARY — The CEO of Canadian National Railway Co. says his company's bid for Kansas City Southern will create a combined "safer, faster, cleaner and stronger railway" than the one proposed by rival Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd. On Tuesday, the Montreal-based railway announced a cash-and-stock bid valued at US$33.7 billion for KCS, topping one made last month by Calgary-based Canadian Pacific valued at US$25 billion. "CN's proposal represents a 21 per cent premium to CP's offer and more than double the cash per shares, resulting in not just a greater value but also greater certainty of value for KCS shareholders," said CN chief executive Jean-Jacques Ruest on a conference call to discuss the proposal. "Our superior access to the capital market, stronger balance sheet, lower cost of financing and ability to realize superior and higher-quality synergies allow us to make a more attractive offer to KCS shareholders." CN is offering US$200 in cash and 1.059 shares of CN common stock for each KC common share. The proposal was worth about $317 per share based on share prices Tuesday morning. The CP Rail deal offers 0.489 of a CP share and US$90 in cash for each KCS common share for a value of nearly US$269 per share, based on CP's share price Tuesday. Ruest said CN's bid won't require shareholder approval, unlike CP's bid. "By competing head to head at lower cost, with safer service and better fuel efficiency, from Mexico to the heartland of America, the result will be a safer, faster, cleaner and stronger railway than any other proposed combination for KCS," he said. He estimated the combination would result in a $1-billion boost in earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortization within three years, with about 80 per cent of that from new business by convincing customers who use trucks to use rail instead. The other 20 per cent would come from cost savings, although CN says its network has very little direct overlap with the KCS system. On the call, Ruest said the timing of CN's bid is opportunistic. "Why now? The board of KCS has decided it wants to crystallize the value for their shareholders, therefore the opportunity is now," he said. In a letter to the KCS board of directors, Ruest said the CN offer offers greater value certainty due to the larger cash component. CN plans to assume US$3.8 billion of KCS debt under its plan. "CN and KCS will have a robust network of end-to-end single-line services from Mexico to Canada, with an enhanced ability to connect ports in the Atlantic, Pacific and the Gulf of Mexico," Ruest wrote. "The combined company will be the premier service-competitive railway to Michigan and Eastern Canada, resulting in better efficiency both in terms of fuel and customer service." When CP Rail and KCS announced their friendly deal last month, they said it would create the first rail network connecting Canada, the United States and Mexico. CP Rail chief executive Keith Creel said when the deal was announced that the transaction would be transformative for North America, providing significant positive impacts for employees, customers, communities, and shareholders. The combination of CP Rail and KCS would create a combined company will operate more than 32,100 kilometres of rail and generate total revenues of approximately US$8.7 billion based on 2020 figures. A spokesperson for CP Rail said the company had no comment. This report by The Canadian Press was first published April 20, 2021.

Southgate Council met by electronic means for its regular meeting on April 7 with all members in attendance. PUBLIC MEETING No objections were heard at a public meeting held for zoning to allow an on-farm shop for Paul Martin on Southgate Road 4. The zoning change also will recognize a smaller lot size due to a related severance into two 50-acre parcels. ENGINEER FOR BRIDGE WORK CHOSEN Council approved awarding the tender for engineering services for two bridges to R.J. Burnside & Associates Limited at $146,150. The tender for the work will not be awarded until funding is worked out as OCIF (Ontario capital funding) is not taking applications at present. TENDERS FOR EQUIPMENT The tender for the tandem plow truck from Lewis Motor Sales Inc. at a cost of $281,434.26 was accepted. Also approved was the purchase of a used pay loader from Toromont Cat for $148,668. The successful tender for a pick-up was a crew cab 4x4 pick-up (TAPS) from Finch Chevrolet Cadillac Buick GMC Ltd. at a cost of $41,823.00. The single axle plow truck will be purchased from Lewis Motor Sales for $256,121. An asphalt 3-tonne hot box will be purchased from Amaco Construction Equipment Inc. for $43,400. This equipment was made available for demonstration for the Southgate road crew, as was that of the other supplier. The pick-up for the building department is a crew cab 4x4 pick-up truck from Finch Chevrolet Cadillac Buick GMC Ltd. at a cost of $42,259. CEMETERY GRAVE OPENING The tender accepted for grave opening and closing at the Dundalk Maple Grove Cemetery is from Rock Compact Excavating for $400 for opening and $400 for closing. The previous pricing for opening and closing a grave was a total of $462.65. The fee increase relates to the worker’s time and having the equipment tied up that long as it’s not worth “floating” it in and out. With the increase in the cost of opening and closing, Jim Ellis, public works manager, said that the interment charge will need to be increased when the Fees and Charges By-law is next updated. The cost for adult burial is now $650 in summer and $1,000 in winter, covering the interment and the Cemetery Caretaker time, the report said. The deputy-mayor suggested looking into the possibility of future savings if the same company were to be used for the vault purchase, opening and closing. PLANNING A zoning bylaw and a site plan were approved for on-farm shop with the usual conditions such as landscaping barriers and a commercial entrance for Austin Martin on Grey Road 109 south of Southgate Road 10. Mr. Martin is moving a combine harvester repair shop from another nearby property. A site plan was approved which allows an addition to the office for the shop for Aaron Martin on Sideroad 13, north of Southgate Road 14, as well as an amendment to the zoning bylaw. A zoning change and a site plan were approved for the on-farm shop for Tubeway on Southgate Sideroad 75 south of Southgate Road 26 with the usual conditions. Planner Clint Stredwick noted that he is now bringing forward the zoning bylaw and site plan forward at the same time when possible to avoid delays for applicants. NOTICE OF MOTION Council approved a motion indicating its support for Dr. Ian Arra, Grey Bruce Medical Officer of Health. PUBLIC WORKS HIRING Two available positions have been filled from within Southgate’s staff. Melody Hill has been appointed as the Team Leader in Waste Resources and Diversion Management. Brian Ferguson who has been a seasonal operator for many years was appointed as TAPS operator/labourer. M.T. Fernandes, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter, Dundalk Herald
Investors expect the new chief executive of Canada's Nutrien Ltd to swing deals as part of a more aggressive growth strategy, after an abrupt shake-up at Canada's biggest agriculture company. Nutrien, the world's biggest fertilizer producer by capacity, surprised shareholders on Sunday by promoting its chairman, Mayo Schmidt, to CEO, replacing Chuck Magro, who had led the company since it formed from Agrium's 2018 merger with Potash Corp. Schmidt, raised on a Kansas farm, is best known for leading the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool grain cooperative's acquisition of competitor Agricore United in 2007, creating Viterra Inc, one of Canada's biggest grain handlers.
