The problem that bike networks/advocates are up against is that they only advocate for cyclists and politically, that a bad move. I NEVER take a bike nor transit. I need my car for work and I take my dog comes with me everywhere so transit is not an option but I, as a driver, strongly support...

Remember kids, IF it costs Ott one hundred billion , it will result in spending ten billion more due to Smith demnding, & rightfully so, the CGY/EDM/BF route be completely funded by Ott. When it comes to bribing CN/CP, they might be more receptive then you think. Their business is much more...

I wonder if the best choice is to just write CN & CP cheque for $20 billion divided by the 2 of them & then they work together on their entire Win/QC corridor so HFR/HSR could be trck protected & then run the line on the current Kingston route to Mon & ditto for Wind/Lon & Mon/QC. They could...

The Milton-Midtown line should be priority number one. True crosstown Eglinton will never be. Toronto needs crosstown to go from one end of the Metro to the other doesn't require Union & serves hundreds of thousnds of more people & destintions. Most cities would give their left nut for such...

Electrifiction could very well be the best route for Win/QC but I think CGY/ED will be hydrogen when Smith needs to show off the province's hydrogen potentil. In the rest of the country with huge distnces & much colder temps, hydrogen is the only option to cut GHG emissions. Trying to string...

Hydrogen won't be the best solution for everywhere but with our huge country, it will be the ONLY option to meet net-zero. The CGY/EDM corridor is the best route to begin testing hydrogen's potentil. Freight could come to our rescue due to them going hydrogen & hence building the needed...

Toronto could just lower speed limits to 20 km/hr where the bikelnes currently exist. There will be no need for the bike routes & would be good for pedestriens too. Drivers would be so pissed & Ford would quickly reverse course.

Type high speed hydrogen to go to videos including new one from Chin.

The freight Co. could come to the rescue for Cnd. They r spending lots on hydrogen due to it being the only vible option to de-crbonize. We could piggy onto their infrstructure & supply network from BC to NS & not just the Corridor or CGY/Edm.

To see video of the hydrogen trin................. www.youtube.com/@CivilMentors The ntype high speed hydrogen

The only spot outside the Windsor/Quebec City corridor where HSR is possible is CGY/RD/EDM & there is some interesting news out. Tlgo {letter before B isn't working} just introduced it's first high speed hydrogen trins with speeds up to 300km/hr. Still in testing but very promising with the...

There should be no bike lnes on Yonge from King to Bloor. Get rid of 2 lnes Min} in this section & just lower the speed limit to 20km/hr. Bikes just ride on the streets.

Doug didn't say it's getting built but rather he wants it built and those are 2 very different things. It is not launching a plan but rather a feasibility study which will probably come out and say it's impossible for less than a $100 billion over 30 years. How many VIA high speed rail...

I agree. This tunneling under 14 lanes of highway is ridiculous and, even if you had all the money in the world ,the logistics of hauling away the ground would be insurmountable. Yes, this is an election promise and will never get done ala Wynne's HSR to London but there is a very legitimate...

This is exactly my point. If he just funded The Corridor then the howls from Alberta would be deafening especially because he just gave them 30 Alberta seats. Conversely, if Alberta alone were to get funding then he would face the ire of all these new urban seats in Ontario he just won. Smith is...

I don't think PP will be anti-VIA anymore than I think JT was pro-VIA. After all, JT has been in power a decade and all he has managed to do is buy some new trains which isn't much of an accomplishment. He's talked a good storm about HFR/HSR but like every other PM in the last half century, he...

You don't know that and neither do I. My entire point is for Ottawa to use it's power to get CN/CP to the bargaining table and then, with all parties working in good faith, they could come up with a proposal that maybe mutually advantageous for both parties. If not, then don't expect any kind of...

The idea of a threat would only be used to actually get them to the bargaining table but Ottawa would let them know that working with them could be mutually advantageous. You guys free up an entire route, via sharing some portions of track, so that there is a complete VIA-only corridor between...

I very much doubt this would end up in the courts primarily because the freight companies know they would lose. Ottawa has the ability to change safety regulations for anything or any reason on transportation issues that are under it's domain whether that be air travel, freight, or car/truck...

No, the municipalities would not have to bear any of the cost under such a scenario. Currently grade separations are built by the cities because they chock traffic...................they are trying to get rid of an inconvenience. This would be totally different as it would be a safety regulation...
