There are exactly two things the current government is doing that I like and HSR is one of them.
"The real problem with transit is not that Quebecers can't efficiently commute to Toronto, but that they're unable to effectively commute within their own city,"
Okay, dude, so....Fund it? Are they tearing apart city buses to build the rail? What is the contradiction here? In fact, intercity HSR and robust intracity public transit are two great flavours that go great together.
It's hollow political rhetoric. They have nothing beyond racism.
intercity HSR and robust intracity public transit are two great flavours that go great together.
What you're forgetting is that provincial governments blaming the feds for problems in their own jurisdictions are also two great flavours that go great together.
Don't forget municipal governments getting away with all sorts of crap and infrastructure neglect by blaming both the province and the feds.
For sure.
Though to give them some credit, I do think there's a fundamental disconnect between municipal responsibilities and their ability to generate revenue, but that's not really the issue here.
I didn't need another reason to not vote PQ but here we are...
