High Speed Train Coming?-split from boosting Canada’s military spending"

Projection. But I guess you're worried about keeping up with the Americans.

I just want an easy and cheaper way of getting around my region that is a bit more resilient against our climate and higher fuel prices. Since we aren't going to let Southwest fly between Toronto and Ottawa any time soon and climate change isn't ending our winters in my lifetime, there's only one good alternative.
