    B.C. Rail deal could last 990 years By Dirk Meissner, Canadian Press
    Unions representing railway workers demanded full disclosure on the deal immediately.

    'The privatization of B.C. Rail is the biggest giveaway B.C. has ever seen,' said Bob Sharpe, chairman of the Council of Trade Unions on B.C. Rail. 'CN Rail will pay off the deal with B.C. Rail profits in the first 10 years and make billions and billions of dollars for almost 1,000 years to come.'

    First Nations voice opposition to B.C. Rail deal CBC British Columbia
    VICTORIA - A group of B.C. First Nations says the B.C. Rail lease agreement with CN Rail infringes on aboriginal rights, and should be scrapped.

    The demand by the Title and Rights Alliance comes after new information on the privatization was leaked to the media.
