Train #641 is being introduced starting May 27th, 2024, which departs Ottawa at 4:15, Kingston at 6:15, arriving in Toronto at 8:48am, which would be useful for anyone trying to get into a Toronto downtown office at 9am.

Well as a country we're working on it, hopefully done in 20 years if the Cons don't scrap or hamstring it.

As of 2023, 26 studies have been completed on the idea of high-speed rail in the Ontario-Quebec Corridor and none have been implemented.

Yeah. I don't have my hopes up.

We needed HSR 20 years ago, not 20 years into the future.

If I could wish a HSR system into existence, or change the date of Mulroney's obituary to a time before he decimated Via Rail, I would.
