MONTREAL — The federal government wants construction on a planned high-speed rail line between Toronto and Quebec City to begin within four years. On Thursday, Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc said the government’s new major projects office will work to speed up engineering and regulatory work on the Alto high-speed rail line. “This is a […]
They know it’s not feasible in Canada our cities are not dense enough. But it lets them siphon money to their donors.
The windsor-quebec corridor is dense enough
At least toronto-montreal. No excuse for that
This is false. The corridor has a density comparable to other countries with high speed networks.
FFS, Sweden has a rail network with trains going at 200 km/h and is currently building sections where trains can go up to 250 km/h, but somehow it’s impossible in Canada because we’re not dense enough?! Somehow we can expropriate people in a few months and build entire expressway sections, all over the country, sometimes in complete fields, with bridges, but linking a few cities with trains is impossible?! This is just car dependency propaganda.
EDIT: This fucking country was founded on railways. The west wouldn’t be as populated as it is without these. Today we’re talking about establishing a high speed line over a fraction of that distance, linking multiple major cities with millions of people, and we don’t have the density? What a fucking joke.
