Hey there, time traveller!

Canadian National Railway is on a bit of a hiring spree.
The company plans to hire about 3,500 people by the end of the year and expects to hire another 2,000 next year.
Business is up about 10 per cent this year, which is partly why the company is hiring about 700 new train conductors across Western Canada, including about 80 expected to be hired in Manitoba by the end of the first quarter of 2018.
No experience is necessary to become a train conductor.
Most of the training for the new conductors takes place at the company’s national training centre in Winnipeg. Company spokeswoman Kate Fenske said the building is packed these days with 500 trainees there every week.
The strong North American economy is resulting in business pick-up in the energy sector, which has led to large increases in frac sand moving from Wisconsin to Western Canada.
