This Remembrance Day, I am both out and in a mental state where I can appreciate the fact that my freedom to be who I am and love who I do is owed to those who fought and gave their lives in the fight against fascism.

We will remember them.

I've been posting stuff about the Lansdowne 2.0 redev over the last week or so (mainly because the way @mayormarksutcliffe.bsky.social and some councillors have been presenting it has been scummy). But here's a concise, detailed, and correct assessment of things: www.reddit.com/r/ottawa/com...

By adding more frequent service with other trains???? Like a dedicated vancouver - Edmonton or Edmonton - Calgary service????

You can double track trainlines for relatively cheap and gain a immense amount of capacity, its much cheaper than HSR and enables so many more options

VIA regularly goes 150kph on CN tracks, Canadian trains have gotten better since the 80s

Thats a CN refusing to have more freight trains for the demand because it lowers the amount of money their shareholders make problem, not a network capacity problem, CN has some of the biggest rail yards in north America

Ive personally waited several hours to catch (1) freight train on the kingston subdivision, CN is not running their tracks at capacity, they can definitely make room

Our network has supported all services since the 1850s. It can continue to do so with targeted upgrades. This isn't an all-or-nothing discussion. We need HSR, but there are also places other than the Corridor. If you want to spend $80B punching a line through the Shield, Toronto-Subury, be my guest.

But it can, we just need to prioritize service over freight trains, in the east, CN runs the double tracked kingston sub, which would only need better maintenence, and in the west they would have to double track to add more service, but its very doable

???? Ok? Im just saying, im all for high speed rail, but its not the only solution we need to have, HSR is expensive and will take time, meanwhile we can add more frequency to have more available trains with lower ticket prices.

The canadian railway network is big and robust enough to support more passenger trains, HSR is a great idea in the long run, with projects such as VIAs faded HSR/HFR and now ALTO, but we need more trains with more frequency now

Write to your MP and demand that laws protecting and prioritizing passenger rail are put into effect, or renationalize CN

Id rather have more, and more reliable service with the tracks we currently have, then move on to HSR

Invest In passenger rail, please write to your MPs!!!

Education Inequality Via Transit? — The Argus Lakehead Orillia is facing a serious transportation issue. Poorly optimised scheduling, and ineffective planning have led to a situation that can only be solved with serious consideration and reform.…

Here's an example of how a transit system can miss the mark by ending service too early in the evening. Students, shift workers, and people enjoying a night out all need to get home later in the evening:

La STM annonce l’abolition de 300 postes La STM abolit 300 postes, alors que deux grèves s’annoncent en novembre, de la part des employés d’entretien et de la part des chauffeurs d’autobus.

Ces licenciements sont inacceptables ! Le Québec et le Canada doivent financer les transports en commun. Les alternatives sont la congestion routière et l’exclusion sociale, deux conséquences plus coûteuses pour les contribuables et qui nuisent au niveau de vie.

Via Rail pays out $31M in travel vouchers because of delays | CBC News Via Rail has offered $31 million in travel vouchers to hundreds of thousands of passengers whose trains were more than one hour late since last fall, mostly as a result of new speed limits at rail crossings...

Proper compensation for passengers is good, but the underlying issue with CN's grade crossings still needs to be resolved, and we urge the federal government to expedite this.
