    1. To clarify, they’re talking about Toronto to Ottawa and Quebec City to Montreal. Ottawa and Montreal should be connected by then, as construction in that part will start earlier to join Ontario and Quebec in the middle.

      Why not just hire the Chinese or Japanese and let them build? Look at their success rate with regard to the quality and speed of their trains.

      For comparison, the Canadian Pacific Railway was also built in 6 years. It was built between Montreal and Vancouver.

      Got to suck every available dollar out of the project before providing long-term losses to the taxpayers.

      I’ll be able to apply a seniors discount for my ticket by the time this opens.

      See you in 2100 maybe. Unless you hire Chinese companies and they will build another 100 high speed trains like in China.

      LOL.

      Nope

      Okay. So. Our local train. A short extension of existing tracks. Next to other tracks. It was announced in 2011. Was slated to be finished in 2023. Twelve years. They *just* broke ground, fifteen years later. Not finished. Broke ground.

      And they say they’ll start the high speed rail in seven years? Twenty. Minimum. To *start*.

      That said, just because only our grandchildren get to benefit from it is no reason not to pursue it. Best time to plant a tree and all that.

      I predict it will just be a highspeed rail to Pickering and that’s it.

      It’s been delayed by two years, lol. 

      We’ll be dead by the time it finally opens. 

    10. Soo, if the national debt doubles again, do we get the first segment built by 2100, maybe ?!

      Hopefully they can increase the speeds. For something that is not going to be done for10 years+ they already starting from behind.

      Let’s get China to build us some high speed rail while we’re there because we obviously don’t know how.

      Construction 🚧 in progress and cost 💲 has escalated by 100x of original budget. My tax dollars at work

    14. The old boys club has ruled the rail
      Like CNR, post CP fail
      Freight trains have the right if way
      But HSR will come „someday“

      Canada must lay the steel
      Build it fast and make it real.
      Let the old boys have their freight
      Build HSR, ‚cause we can’t wait.
