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

Via....sure. But check out what GO has to say about luggage. I was responding to YTZ saying folks would grab a GO train/Bus to Union instead of driving to Pearson

Go ‘frowns’ on luggage during Rush hour - but if you don’t sit in the accessibility car no one will stop you.

They're already accommodated on existing rights of way. The high speed rights of way won't have whistle stops in Ingersoll or Casselman. That's one of the ways to get high speed - not stopping at every Podunk shack on the side of the rails.

In any context this would be seen as ridiculous. If anybody said that every Toronto-Montreal flight needs to stop at Belleville, Coburg, Trenton, Kingston, Brockville and Coteau, people would laugh at them. But all of sudden with rail this is supposed to be a serious idea.

Either people don't understand what High Speed Rail actually is or they are being disingenuous. Or both.

The folks trying to argue to use the median of the 401 are an example of both.

I'm pretty sure it has to stop in Brockway, Ogdenville and North Haverbrook.

It must irk some that the economy of Toronto is bigger than the economy of Alberta or BC. God forbid they get a infrastucture project. If a project isnt moving raw resources out of the ground and out of the nation it's not worth it clearly.

Their entire vision of Canada seems to be that the public exists to enrich oligopoly shareholders and pay out OAS. Nothing in return.
