You may support high-speed rail. You may not. You may support high-speed rail, but not the ALTO model. Or you may 100% back ALTO. But can we agree that 10 days ago, virtually no one was talking about this. So maybe we turned down the indignation, just a little bit.

Just going to leave this little 'Fun Fact' here for all the High Speed Rail enthusiasts. This was brought to my attention, so therefore I must bring it to yours if you didnt already know... Liberals serve themselves first and foremost. This is another case in point. Anne-Marie Gaudet, is the spouse of Franรงois-Philippe Champagne She holds a senior executive role as Vice President, Environment at Alto and works within the organization responsible for advancing Canadaโ€™s proposed high-speed rail project (Quebec City to Toronto corridor) Under her: โ€ข Environmental strategy and compliance โ€ข Regulatory approvals and impact assessments โ€ข Sustainability frameworks tied to the rail project Gaudet is positioned inside an entity that is: โ€ข Federally backed โ€ข Dependent on government policy, approvals, and funding Her role is directly connected to this major national infrastructure initiative currently being shaped and eventually financed at the federal level. So maybe when Liberals, their friends and families stop personally benefitting off the backs of hard working Canadians who keep falling behind then conservatives might not be so upset and against this. Because from where I sit, this whole thing reads like a closed-loop favour factory. The Liberals want to expropriate land to serve a narrow slice of the country in one corridor, then hand the bill to everyone else, including millions who will never set foot on that train. Meanwhile, the governmentโ€™s financing brain is tied at home to the environmental arm of Alto, and it all conveniently lines up with the climate sermonizing of Green Jesus Mark Carney. Call it policy if you like. From here, it looks a lot more like insiders taking care of their own while the rest of the country gets the invoice.. ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป newswire.ca/news-releases/โ€ฆ ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿป journaldequebec.com/2021/01/18/uneโ€ฆ

@Cappy_Nate @tokifyi I hope to heaven that this becomes the "Canadians-for-Canada" kind of momentum, not "Canadians-in-SF." Because we've seen more than enough of the latter phenomenon, and there's no sign of it stopping...

1/2 RIP Setty Pendakur. I always valued interviewing the former @cityofvancouver councillor and @ubc professor, who was more frank than most. He'd been to China 86 times as an advisor. Here are some prophetic quotes from him in 2016: - "CANADA IS ONLY A BIG CARIBBEAN COUNTRY. WE DON'T ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT WHERE MONEY COMES FROM." - "The loopholes are tremendous" in Canada's immigration policy. They became more open to abuse under PM Brian Mulroney. "Mulroney had this attitude that if you were rich, you must be good." - "Parents in China want their son or daughter to get a Canadian degree. But most of them cannot get into UBC, @SFU or @UNBC or anywhere else. So they sign up for these two-room colleges." #cdnpoli @Ayan604 @CllrHardwick @alanfryermedia vancouversunandprovince.remembering.ca/obituary/v-setโ€ฆ

THE ENTIRE WESTERN WORLD IS NOW CRACKING DOWN ON IMMIGRATION. ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช Germany โ€” New govt deporting 80% of Syrians. 800,000 leaving by 2030. ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ช Sweden โ€” Was the most welcoming country in Europe. Now has a hardline right-wing govt elected on ONE issue. ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฐ Denmark โ€” Set a "zero asylum seekers" goal. The LEFT WING adopted it. ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Netherlands โ€” Wilders in power. "Strictest immigration policy in Dutch history." ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท France โ€” Stricter visas. Deportations accelerating. ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น Italy โ€” Meloni building offshore processing centers in Albania. ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช Ireland โ€” Emergency legislation passed after tent city crisis in Dublin. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง UK โ€” Rwanda scheme, Channel enforcement, tightening across the board. ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Canada โ€” Slashed immigration targets. Reversed from "most welcoming nation" branding overnight. ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ Australia โ€” Student visas tightened. Permanent intake slashed. ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฟ New Zealand โ€” New visa restrictions kicking in 2026. ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ EU Parliament โ€” Voted 389 to 206 for the toughest deportation plan in EU history. "Return hubs" being built in Africa. 80,000+ migrants blocked at EU borders in 2025 alone. Every single country. Moving in the same direction. Left-wing parties. Right-wing parties. Doesn't matter. Leaders who opened borders are being voted out or forced to reverse. The ones who stayed in power changed their policies to survive. The entire West is moving in ONE direction.

California began its high-speed rail adventure in 2008 with a budget of $34 billion USD & to be done by 2020 Now, it is 400% over budget & not a mile of track is operational yet. They hope to be done by 2040 The cretins in Ottawa said, "Let's try that in Canada!"

This week, the Liberalโ€™s had a big fundraiser in Markham. I was there and had a conversation with the controversial MP Michael Ma. Without moral clarity while attempting to reshape the forced labour discussion suggests Canada is willing to trade off human and labour rights violations for a path of diversification through China trade. @SundayGuardian @liberal_party Why China is not the solution to Canadaโ€™s trade diversification strategy. sundayguardianlive.com/?p=181507
