Purify our land beneath your sacred, crushing embrace.
Here’s a history of the studies & reports for the high speed rail proposal between Ontario & Quebec. From 1970 to 2025.
This highlights what an absolute boondoggle this is. Over 45 years of wasted money & it truly highlights how hard it is to get things done in our Country. pic.twitter.com/y2EWKl3KXy— Ryan Gerritsen🇨🇦🇳🇱 (@ryangerritsen) April 4, 2026
Because everything California does, Canada does better.
I woke up to snow at my home near the north shore of lake Ontario, so despite this year being the hottest year ever, I think there is a good chance that the ice sheet is coming back.
My guess is that Environment and Tossing Virgins into Volcanoes Kanada has a press release template where only the year is changed. Each January the previous year is entered and then released to the presstitutes.
It says: “XXXX has been confirmed the hottest year on record. This year is expected to be hotter yet.”
Here is a comment in favour of this boondoggle from an “Elbows Up!” retard named “Hoods”.
“This high speed rail would be amazing. Toronto to montreal in 3 hours? It would make a good chunk of ontario a day trip away. Fewer cars on the road too, and better for local economies. why not invest ing infrastructure that benefits everyone?”
I pointed out to this dick that most being forced to pay for it will never get to use it. It really shows the absolute stupidity of the average Kanadian.
Update, the arrogant libtard responded with this:
“More than half the population of Ontario lives in the 3 cities in Ontario where there will be stops. Plus there’s the populations of the surrounding areas. So the bulk of the province will have the option of using it.”
So too many from Ontario think the entire country revolves around it. Those of us out West are just stinky serfs.
Nonsense, I’m sure the government is planning stops in Vancouver and Calgary. And I’m equally positive they’re planning to extend the rail beds to Nuuk, Reykjavík, and Copenhagen as well.
The Carney wants a high speed rail so he can boast to his EU pals that he’s bringing the best of Europe to the colonies along with his personal climate control vanity project. He long ago abandoned such mundane economic tools as benefit-cost analysis and balanced budgets. But he is a loyal practitioner of mutant Keynesian continuous “pump priming” and LPC vote buying through greater deficits and fraudulent accounting practices. But his greatest achievement will be in recycling European fascism with gun control, state-media, apartheid, eliminating free speech, mercantilism, and regulatory-inspired stasis. Islamization is just a bonus add-on.

They have all the studies currently available. Why we need to pay Atkins Realis another $5 billion to rehash the studies, is just another example of government corruption and waste.
Why do they pay Atkins-Realis?
a) to enrich their friends
b) Atkins-Realis hires Liberal MP family members
c) Atkin-Realis pays their employees who then donate to Liberal campaigns.
PS. The wife of Francois-Philippe Champagne (the current minister of finance and national revenue) is a vice president at ALTO, the high speed rail corporation.
Look at the route. Just another subsidized perk for MPs, beaureaucrats, and other assorted Ivory Tower Trash plying their trade between Canada’s top centers of corruption and waste.
I’ve often thought that Canaduh was the test bed for California’s future boondoggles.
Absolutely agree and suspect any in depth study would show
the Liberal Party of Canada greased the skids
for the Long March Through The Institutions.
Canada is run by politicians, environmentalists, lawyers and accountants. Announce an idea, study it to death, let the lawyers and accountants handle the paperwork, and then conclude (after a 1,276 page document) that you cannot proceed because you would harm the tiny wood salamander.
But interestingly, about 15 years ago, a series of wind turbines were erected near Sault Ste. Marie without any paperwork, crossing the territory of a local First Nation to boot (and they were not consulted). So it is possible.
The linked item re the California boondoggle has it wrong; America’s first high-speed train project kicked off in the 1960s and actually worked, sort of, for a while:

Interesting. BART is the Bay Area’s Metroliner. It was sold on many of the same principles of a high speed train … promising a ‘new era’ of train travel on rubberized wheels, and welded/continuous track eliminating the clackety-clack of oldie-fashioned trains. The trains would travel as fast as 80mph (now the defacto highway speed in CA). And sleek, modern cars and futuristic stations. And as always … fares were promised to be just pennies per ride.
Of course, it was quickly discovered all those features … only occasionally… if ever worked. Every turn of the BART tracks slow trains to 35 mph and the steel wheels grinding against the rails emits an ear-splitting high pitch whine that renders train announcements unintelligible. The computer system routinely produced ‘phantom trains’ on the tracks which shut trains down between stations for minutes on end. The stations are so close together, that the highest speeds are rarely achieved. Electrical problems routinely shut down the entire system … and don’t get me started on the number of times the tube under bay is shut down for earthquakes or leaks.
And the cost of the entire system has spiraled out of control with every year since 1972. But the entire system is currently in its final death rattle of grinding steel wheels. Fare evaders have overwhelmed the trains and stations with homeless and criminals. The trains smell of human urine and worse. Parking at stations is a costly add to the fare. Trains are unreliable. And the final, final … blow to this technological marvel [sic] … COVID.
BART mass transit ridership absolutely disappeared as the plandemic protocol instructed the masses that close proximity to other humans is deadly. Masks, face shields, and 6ft spacing wouldn’t cut it. Your fellow humans … packed like sardines in shiny metal boxes will kill you dead! So … high speed, low speed, and in the habit of BART – no speed … transit is DANGEROUS to your health! And ridership hasn’t recovered.
Your government isn’t just incompetent… they’re EVIL.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I seem to recall that the whole BART system runs from a floppy disk?
Hell, it runs on Bart Simpson’s floppy disc.
Nahhhh … it runs on high $6-figure salaries … and DEI … cause … well … taxpayers deep pockets
Newsflash: Liberals are fcking thieves.
