Fundamentally, this government (and I would argue that plenty of Canadians) think cutting emissions is important. The next budget is rumored to be "The Climate Change" budget.
For Southern Ontario that means shifting some trips, from road and air to rail. Both for intra-city (transit) and inter-city. This is what HFR is about.
So I'm curious what the business case is for Pickering once you take out a lot of Ottawa and Montreal trips. Because much as per capita emissions to Sudbury and North Bay can be discussed, there aren't enough trips in Southern Ontario to justify building anything bigger than Billy Bishop. Especially if more trips to Ottawa and Montreal are going by rail.
