Seems it follows the REM A40 alignment too.

Visit the magnificent megalopolis of l'Île aux Tourtes.

I'm walking distance of the VIA station, which is in town which is more accessible than the Ottawa station... There are plans to triple the population here with ten storey towers near the train station. So might be even densier than in Ottawa unironically.

You're way off. I never owned a car and rely uniquely on transit and Tremblay location has always been horrible as others said with no walking services close by.

Côte de liesse in Montréal is in the middle of nowhere and it's similar number of stops. Sure bud.

China trains are good for that, you order food for station delivery on your train.

Signs that the Montréal station will not be downtown, that's what I meant. We'll see in a few minutes. Ottawa station is really nowhere though.

Going quickly to nowhere brings you quickly to nowhere. Will wait for further announcements but doesn't look good so far. Plus if my train is cancelled due to HSR I'll be pissed to no end. I depend on my rural train to commute to work.

It is and is greatly against my values and pisses me off. We're seeing what these land acknowledgments end up doing in BC.

There many people working in Montréal and Ottawa as it's a quick and easy trip by train. The official plan even has ten storey towers and the province paid tens of millions for additional water and waste manangement capacity to handle such volume.

It's not really a subsidy, ARTM are paying the CDPQi for the service rendered, same as other transit agencies. Just the cost paid is not the same depending on the kind of service. For the REM and some metro lines, a profit is technically made running the service (will be soon for the REM even...
