August1991 Posted 2 hours ago Report Posted 2 hours ago At great expense to all Canadians, our federal Liberal government is about to create (buy, expropriate land) a new right of way between Quebec City and Windsor, Ontario. (Note: This TGV will never exist. It is like the roof of the Olympic Stadium in Montreal.) Yet, we Canadians already have such a right of way. At issue, IMHO, we must decide how to use this right of way. -The land of the railtracks between Montreal and Toronto belong to Canadians. Let's expropriate this land from the CN and CP. -Let's build bridges/tunnels to ensure that passenger rail lines in this right of way never cross a road. (At present, there are several hundred.) -Let's electrify these passenger lines between Montreal and Toronto. Quote
August1991 Posted 1 hour ago Author Report Posted 1 hour ago And like the REM in Montreal, it should be the Caisse (and the Ontario Teacher's fund) who pay for this electrified TGV passenger rail between Toronto and Montreal. Why should a person working minimum wage in Halifax or Calgary pay any tax to subsidise anyone traveling between Toronto and Windsor? Quote
