yesterday, canadian pacific after the close reported earnings and the conference call associated withff the rails in his comments about the prospective deal between the company he thought he was in position to buy, and the potential for cp actually stepping in, given the far higher bid that they currently have let me share a few things he had to say it was interesting in the sense of what is their ability to speak. when it speaks to leverage, 4.6 is what i was speaking to. frankly, i don't believe that's the right value proposition for shareholders to put our balance sheet at risk, and he goes on to say, that's a hypothetical situation. in other words, going up in terms of their bid so they would have to lever up to such a high number probably not going to happen, he indicated, but he says that's not a real deal, that cp deal. as far as i'm concerned it's fantasy land my answer would be it's nothing that we're considering at all. kind of acknowledging in some ways in fact they're unlikely to be able to compete in terms of the economics of it and focusing instead on the antitrust impli
