The difference between PM Carney and Poilievre is clear. #RapidRail #HighSpeedRail

Polling by Abacus, on behalf of a group opposed to high speed rail.

62% support nationally.

If the question was worded more positively (see article below), support likely would've been even higher.

As usual, Poilievre is out of touch.

Build it.

That's the sound of #Canada's planned new #HighSpeedRail planned projet, the largest nation building project since the Canadian Railways that went sea to sea done by John A. McDonald uniting Canadians as a nation.

I’m really excited to see #HighSpeedRail taking shape in #California!
No other #state is currently building something this #transformative.
It’s a great example for the rest of the #USA to follow. 💕

Of course they did.
This is the pattern: support something when it’s convenient… abandon it when it becomes politically useful to oppose it.

We need high-speed rail here. I know there may be issues and challenges along the way, but I support this project. We can work through the disputes. #HighSpeedRail

High-speed rail and Pierre Poilievre’s amnesia.

Alto didn’t magically appear on a map.
It was pushed, lobbied for, and championed — by Conservatives.

www.cbc.ca/news/politics/poilievre-... Welp! That didn’t take long. AXE THE TRACKS!! Yet another brutal example of how we continually kick ourselves in the balls with our #FirstPastThePost electoral system. Govt proposes major project. Opposition needs […]

Had a dream Kurt Russell was pivotal in making high-speed train travel happen because he had already escaped from New York and Los Angeles and figured no one should have to go through what he did going forward (which funny enough is my logic on things). #highspeedrail #usanotokay #postamericandream

«Your concerns are being heard in Ottawa.» Thank you Michelle and neighbouring Liberal representatives for bringing our rural voice to Ottawa!

An interesting article that links back the fact that Alstom's TGV cannot run on legacy Italian line to the original turbine train design of the TGV, before the oil shock (the one of the 70s).

I love the sentiment of his bumper sticker. IMHO the biggest obstacle to high-speed rail is that all the little towns along the way want a station. Fast rail is only possible when you can go far distances without stopping. #highspeedrail #rail
