      It’s true. They literally have no vision other than to just say no to everything.

      I’ve been around a long time and the only time the conservatives think big is to buy American. Both business and bullshit.

      This has to be the funniest thing I’ve seen all week

      „When pressed by Kapelos on concern about a lack of consultation around the Alto project not coming solely from the Conservatives, but also from the Bloc Québécois and rural communities along the route, MacKinnon insisted the federal government will “obviously follow a lot of common sense” when it comes to the route chosen for the rail line.“

      If there’s one criticism I have about Canada, it’s that we’ve been an utterly unambitious country. We’ve always been content with what we have and never wanted to improve.

      Nothing is more taboo than spending money, even if it’s for the benefit of the country through long-term investment. A project to do anything is constantly under pressure to justify itself, and is always ranked against other issues. We give up as soon as we see that the timeline for getting something done is longer than a government term, because everything needs immediate results. How could any idea get off the ground?

      We’ve finally got high-speed rail moving ahead after decades of studies at various levels of government. And now we’re talking about cancellation because our country, with a fantastic credit rating, somehow can’t afford doing it in partnership with a big consortium of companies willing to throw their own money in and share expertise? The conditions are as good as they’ll ever be, we just need to commit to something for once.

      Fix up the Kinston Sub for higher capacity and higher speeds and get the Montreal-Toronto time down to under 200 minutes. Much cheaper, must faster to build and pretty good service delivered where the people are. I think the HSR on that old CPR route is folly.

      Paraphrasing a bit, but Pollievre did say on Rogan that his view of being in opposition is to oppose everything the government does out of loyalty to the crown so opposing this is par for the course.

      Spending $5B on planning without a single shovel hitting the ground sure is “thinking big”
      😂 clown show

      And the Liberals used to care about debt. After 11 years the Liberals have doubled our nation’s debt and are currently running the largest deficit the country has ever seen outside of the pandemic and all they want to do is spend more and more. Thank goodness we have one party left that has the sense to call for restraint.

      Cost of living is skyrocketing, our youth can’t afford homes, highest food inflation in the G7, record food bank lines, shrinking economy and the Liberals are just spend spend spend. All of it is leading to higher taxes and burden on the people. Wake up people. This path ends very badly.

      I guess all we know where the idea of the high-speed rail stems from. Liberals need „big national dream“ to distract people from their everyday’s problems: grocery prices, unemployment, crime rate etc. Their plans have nothing with economic growth.
