Companies in the news:
Canadian National Railway Co. (TSX:CNR). Up 52 cents or 0.34 per cent — Canadian National Railway Co.'s embattled CEO is retiring in the new year, the railway says as it reported earning $1.685 billion in the third quarter, thanks in part to a $770-million after-tax break fee it received after walking away from a takeover bid for Kansas City Southern railway. The Montreal-based company says Jean-Jacques Ruest will leave at the end of January or when a successor has been appointed. Ruest has been a target for replacement by activist shareholder TCI Fund Management Ltd. Railway chairman Robert Pace said Ruest deferred his retirement due to the KCS transaction and introduction of its strategic plan.
