Not in the Quebec-Windsor corridor. There’s enough people, and the density is high enough for rail to be useful.

The environmental benefits are great and all, but you’ll get downtown to downtown faster and cheaper than car or train with high speed rail. Like, get off work in downtown Toronto, eat on the train, and watch a Sens game at 7 at LeBreton Flats, and back home for midnight sort of speed.

I’m indifferent about the Leafs, but Steve Dangle seems like a nice guy, so I kinda cheer for them.

Dude, BC Election. Do you even have a Liberal candidate? The BC Libs collapsed. It’s probably Cons vs. NDP vs. maybe Greens + Fringe.

Voted today in the District Electoral Office. (Going on holiday for quite a bit of election season, so it was just easier.)

Er, yes!

But you do know Tumbler Ridge is a coal mining town in south Peace River and that engine was a coal hauler through the mountains on a dedicated freight line to Prince George, right?

Oh, at least one minister is aware.

Bachrach has been doing some good things, like taking VIA home for Christmas to point out that passenger rail should have priority. He doesn’t have the experience that Cullen did, but he’s promising.
