    Don’t get ahead of your self. This project will never pay for its self. If people used mass transit via would have alot more service. Porter airlines wouldn’t be pushing for turbo jets to go further destinations. You got be realistic about these things.

    This project is 1, a wicked subsidy that’s gona create a healthy amount of jobs, good skilled jobs. I can expand on that further. 2 a way to put Canada 🇨🇦 on the map of not being bass akward USA light.

      I think a couple of things can be true at the same time. Long term, high speed rail is a good thing. Also true is this project will definitely be vastly over budget. I would just like to see some concrete data to let us know the planners have actually looked at the factors.
