Did I detect a hint of cynicism there?
"It's expected to take four to five years to design the future high-speed line. Funds are to be allocated at the end of that time period, so it's possible a future government could modify or cancel the project."
I'm hoping this comes to pass, but I have a small shred of doubt
A large cup of it, if they were serious it would of been at the start of there tenor.
I always hear about high-speed rail, whether it's provincial or federal and its always just before an election.
So ya, i don't believe they are serious about this at all.
Canada needs high-speed rail.
This happens in Australia a lot. Grand schemes for bullet trains along the east coast appear in the run-up to federal elections, only to sink back into the swamp of realistic expectations as soon as the government has been sworn in. This has been going on since the 1980s, and probably will still be happening as long as the continent is habitable.
They already did the bidding process and chose who the contact of going to. Doesn't that mean it's happening for sure?
That's for the HFR (high frequency rail) project.
Oh. Sad. This article's very confusing. I can't tell when it's talking about the high speed rail vs the high frequency rails.
Je vais le croire quand je vais le voir.
