Fortunately, they do.

kEiThZ, As you are convinced that the Property Powered Rail Open Market Development Model (PPR) is unworkable where service would include semi-rural areas, please share your specific critique. By now I presume you'll have read the whitepaper so you will already know that the only density that...

Moose Files Affidavit in Quebec Superior Court RE: Injunction against the dismantling of Chelsea track. https://www.letsgomoose.ca/moose-consortium-inc-legal-action-to-protect-essential-railways-in-canadas-capital/ Take a stand in this 150th year since Confederation. Choose one of the...

Good article, thanks for the pointer. Though I've asked the journalist to make the following corrections: "Le Mine Investment Group and Consortia" should be "LeMine Investment Group and Consortia N.A. (LeMine-ConsortiaNA)" "to form a joint company to develop the project" should be...

RE: "If Ottawa looses, can they appeal? Will this go to the courts?" and RE: "can be appealed to a Federal Court" See: https://otc-cta.gc.ca/eng/our-organization

Yes. See: https://www.letsgomoose.ca/wp-content/uploads/moose-westquebecpost_2017-06-16.pdf More news on this other case very shortly. The Ottawa Citizen and the Ottawa SUN (same owner) have declined to report the whole story. Joseph Potvin Director General | Directeur général Moose...

No problem, I was just pointing to the contradictory positions taken up by the City of Ottawa. For some context see: http://www.ottawalife.com/article/canadas-earliest-and-most-recent-railway-scandals?c=9 In Mr. Watson's 2016 year-end interview with Metro published on 12 December he is quoted...

If you read the 2013 Interprovincial Transportation Strategy prepared by the two cities and the NCC, as well as the 2017 Plan for Canada's Capital (which references the 2013 document), you will find that "MOOSE's plan" simply conforms with those plans. The problem with the City of Ottawa's...

The real questions are, would Capital Railway join the MOOSE Consortium and become one of the train operators on the whole-region network? If not, why not? You've got the exemption on the wrong line. See below. Thanks for the vote of confidence! :) Here's what MOOSE's 15 August, 2016 formal...

RE: "The Prince of Wales Bridge: Oh, no, not again" I've added a comment with some details on that blog: https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3680264279342137192&postID=5170293252843938809&page=1&token=1499470712880

RE: GO Transit Rail applied for and received status as a federally regulated entity Look for the 1968 Supreme Court of Canada case on the GO Train. The court determined that the GO Train was federal because it was operating on the same track as CN, which was federal.

RE: "One of the reasons OC Transpo elected for federal status (beside sharing the CP rail line) was a projection to connect across the PoW bridge to Quebec. I'll try and find time to dig for detail and reference later." In 1983 the Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton lost a case at the...

MOOSE's Canada Day media release states: "Essential upgrades will be done at the beginning, but ongoing improvements will be spread over time to provide stable demand for crews and equipment." MOOSE's Canada Day media release states: "they seek the collaboration of all three levels of...

Allandale25, I can answer questions about MOOSE Consortium's plan, but cannot usefully provide information about the plans of others. Joseph

The keeners will find excruciating detail, along with various source documents, in our submissions to the Agency. It's all online: https://www.letsgomoose.ca/moose-consortium-inc-legal-action-to-protect-essential-railways-in-canadas-capital/ Joseph Potvin Director General | Directeur général...

The City owns the corridor. It's federally regulated, so decisions involve various stakeholders. It's best not to offer speculative answers on your other questions. Joseph

MOOSE's plan is complementary with Ottawa's LTR Phase 1 and Phase 2 plans, except where those plans conflict with federal railway law. The city's preliminary drawings show the elimination of the rail connection with Gatineau, and the operational integration of the Confederation Line (east-west...

The sustained interest and discussion on this blog is a pleasure to read and reflect upon. Although MOOSE makes an effort to publicly document every aspect of its initiative (bilingually where feasible), this tends to result in a considerable volume of documentation. And that volume makes it...

Mr. Donait, For clarity: MOOSE rail will lease existing railway works, and will arrange commercial financing of improvements (passing tracks, repair of culverts, refurbushment of bridges, etc.). So for the most part, we're not going to "build the rail". That mega-project is already built. We do...
