The only consistent thing about PP is his constant promotion of oil and gas. He doesn't represent Canadians, he's an oil & gas salesman using electoral candidacy as a front. His goal is to funnel Canadian money into oil & gas companies.

And he hasn't even given a good reason to cancel the project… he just seems too stupid to understand why it's important

Living in a rural community, this is exactly what many people think. Just your average Timbit Trump supporters.

Jesus Christ Pollieve hates Canada

Jesus fuck PP. you socialist housing trump wanna be twat. Shut your fucking pi hole. 2/3rds is Canadas population live along this corridor. This would be an amazing investment for Canada.

Fuck off under a rock loser.

Not defending the guy, but I mean, just add him to the list of how many million car-brained people exist on this country. He was raised just like us, in cities where public transit was always an inconvenience, and not the way of the future.

You know who else calls for cancelling such projects? Likely your neighbors, who don't want to fit the bill for the betterment of Canada. The same jackasses who would vote for PP. That's the larger, more pressing concern in my mind.

While Ontario is conservative, very few of the conservative ridings are improved directly by rail access between Toronto and Montreal.

Other conservative provinces derive no benefit.

It's easy to frame this as a "only really helps libs" project when the constituents can't do math or understand just how many Canadians live along that corridor.

Would I like accessible rail travel across Canada via a big project to quad-up and extend the existing tracks so shipping is cheap and passenger/mixed trains are feasible? For sure. I don't see that happening; but let's help the most of us even if it doesn't benefit our neighbourhood.

Huh. Is selfishness a conservative trait, though?

This would be a way to massively decrease our GHG emissions by reducing the need for either driving or regional flights. So of course he's against it, because his masters order him to.
