Yeah, its too little too late for Trudeau, but Carney can run with it.

Canada doesn't need a small pp

It’s a tradition in Canadian politics to drop BS promises on your way out the door. It’s frankly embarrassing that they’re still doing it.

This project has been in the cards for a while now, they were ready for the announcement last fall but you know, shit kinda happened at the same time.

If you follow the news cycle you must remember that they were talking about it months ago.

Too little too late. There was plenty of opportunity to push train and cycling infrastructure before he burned his reputation and shifted into yolo mode.

Canadian politicians are just as self serving and corrupt as the US.

As much as I love choo choo’s this is not happening, he is just dropping this in Carney’s lap and leaving.

I know it is an attempt to buy Quebec voters and I live in Saskatchewan so I would never benefit from these choo choo’s but it is a move to buy votes.

The extra revenues would benefit you through taxes.

Get a project like that started and it opens the door for more and more of them.
