The first two are not objectives, just things things they can aim missiles at.

Travel in a small pack, move quickly during daylight, no Bruins jerseys or red hats and you'll be fine.

Agreed these and heavy e-moped should not be in narrow bike lanes. Solution is a full lane for slower ebike/cargo on some key arterials otherwise they will have to mix with traffic. 30 or 40km/h limits makes this feasible, as well as sharing some bus lanes with no stopping.

Ok, anecdotally I've heard there was support for the highway but I don't know how broad. Just curious about how a provincial highway versus a federal railway is treated.

Do you know what their stance was on proposed highway 13 extension ?

How does inflation increase profits? Is their tactic to use the opportunity to raise prices beyond the % cost increase while consumer price expectations are already broken?

Is there any concept of something happening for the greater good in Canada?

If affected, these landowners will be well compensated for slivers of their land, but instead the Bloc has opportunistically riled them up with the spectre of Mirabel airport.

The Toronto police union getting mad that the Inspector General is ordering a province-wide review of policing is very funny to me. Why? You don't have anything to hide, do you? Just comply! If you haven't done anything wrong, there won't be trouble!

Oh..General Motors, had the misfortune of reading his full piece in the national post.

What's a GM? Like General Manager of the Washington Capitols to negotiate the continuation of Ice Hockey under Chinese rule?

It was of course political AND effective, a clear message while giving nothing to opponents to latch on to. Those saying it wasn't political are either extremely dim or afraid of the message.

This kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in most American cities.

He couldn't get pierogies at the farmers market, which to be fair is a punishment worse than death.

If they need to build a tunnel to get north to Laval anyways, doesn't that change the equation? I have no doubt you could fit some more tracks through the west Island but their mandate is not to go to war with the freight owners (unfortunately).

They sent out their real experts into the field to face the masses and it showed. Good work all around by them so far.

Is there a good explanation of "easy wins" to improve existing corridor services? Unfortunately I think under the current gov, the focus is on big shiny new things. VIA Rail will decay until Alto comes online.

How would you suggest forcing better collaboration between Fed and Quebec ?

I like your idea of written responses. For citizens and journalists it's easier to archive, search, and less performative antics for the camera. We have a gov. culture of secrecy regardless of the medium, we need strong media and leaks to keep them transparent.

What people also don't see behind the scenes is the army of 'neutral' civil servants that get roped into prepping minister responses. These same ministers could force open by default within their dept. and save everyone's time, but they like to retain control. Another aspect of the broken system.

Your government is in power. Why not advocate for improving existing VIA services and let Alto make optimized decisions to actually get HSR built.

American centrist elites, when in power, followed the right-wing outrage machine. They feared doing anything coercive to stop the far-right rise, lest they be labelled communist dictators (they were anyways).

VIA Corridor services will eventually be integrated under the same private operator

Alternative headline: "NA manufacturers fear competition from superior product".

"Cheap Chinese" is designed to appeal to those that hear 'made in China' as a slur for low quality, and therefore somehow the consumer is the loser in this deal.

Opposition to high speed rail grows in rural area north of Kingston Some Frontenac County residents concerned about the high speed rail project they say appears to come with costs but little benefit.

There will be opposition, especially from rural, but if the libs don't hold their ground and trust Alto to make decisions, we will end up with a UK HS2 situation: endless delay, ballooning costs. @markgerretsen.bsky.social

Good simple message. Sustainable infrastructure that actually improves your life is very popular. Alto HSR polls very popular, and people's main concern is delays. We have to keep reminding the libs that when they consternate over whether to accelerate the project.

CP Rail lawsuit seeks tax repayment, exemptions from Sask. government over 141-year-old contract The Canadian Pacific Railway is presenting arguments this month in a lawsuit filed against the Saskatchewan government over whether or not the rail line should have to pay provincial taxes, based on a...

A CP employee I knew said when negotiations got heated they used to drag out a 100+ year old contract to threaten the government with tax "overpayments".
