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

[Halifax Tar]

I will never understand why laypeople always assume professionals are morons who never think of things. Particularly bizarre when this mindset comes from military folks who have spent a lifetime receiving the same crap from the average Wikipedia civvy expert.

I stopped reading at that last period.

AI ASSISTED how many times have subject matter experts been wrong ?

Aside from the fact that the freight railways have no interest in any of this, your suggestion takes every controversy about HSR and scales it up 10x. Take Alto's 60m RoW (which already has sensitivities with the rural public) and now make it 100m to accomodate extra track. And then tell the neighbours you're doing this not just for passengers (who they are already convinced look like the monopoly man) but to move hazardous goods too. I'm sure they'll love it. Oh and all this to end up with another set of freight conflicts that this very project is trying to avoid.

from the way you replied you failed to acknowledge the last point which was to build passenger rail on the current right of way so there would be little or no conflict with freight. And as I said, it was a possibility that didn't involve a massive land grab. In fact and you will definitely laugh at this one, you could make it a fast i.e. 120 mph line as the original turbo was supposed to attain and reduce your Toronto/Montreal transit time to 4 hours and that is with the initial 6 stops. Wouldn't cost as much and it would make it a true service to all of Ontario since the service could easily be extended to Windsor. You are definitely not a moron but you are most definitely naive. I spent the last 10 years of my career in aviation future development and I can assure you that professionals at least in that field do NOT think of things. Their thoughts are controlled by their personal prejudices. Simple example is the "moron" who thought that passengers would accept the change in seat pitch that WestJet tried to institute. Want another example: Mirabel. But then again, maybe you have your own set of prejudices that interfere with your acceptance of thoughts other than your own. Have a good day
