Loophole? The order from the CIRB explicitly stated that the union still had the right to strike and that the company had the right to lock them out.

I am in agreement. It's very much a lose lose situation for the Liberals or any governing party. This is the better of the two options if looking at the better overall solution. Sitting back and eventually doing the same thing in the end with several days of interruptions would be worse.

Third option would have been to legislate CN back to work until the CPKC dispute was resolved, instead by ordering both back to work they’re giving both companies a get out of jail free card.
