$90 billion stated cost, $4 billion for lavish consultation contracts with Liberal connected firms like SNC Lavalin, past project overruns from 3P schemes always have massive cost overruns and delays, wouldn't be surprising if the price tag ends up being $160-200 billion and isn't finished for 20 years. And the cost to recoup that? Either will require yearly government subsidies in the $billions, or fare prices will make it unaffordable for the vast majority who could be interested in using it. So the claim that it will boost GDP by $35 billion seems completely shambolic in the face of the cost. Good enough critique?

Mike Le Couteur: Alto could boost Canada's GDP by ~$35b. Is your opposition rooted in the fact that this train will have stops in cities where the Conservatives don't hold ridings Andrew Scheer: If you ask someone who wants to build you a $90b railway, yeah, they're going to come up with numbers

@Concern70732755 Via ran 3h59 services between Montreal and Toronto for YEARS… VS alto 3:07 theorical. Just optimize\modernize the current rail and do more pipeline to reduce oil wagons on the rails. Should be less than the 90 billions to 170 billions...

@wsattler119 @sarobertsonca Is it worth spending 100 billion on high speed rail? I would rather build pipelines & refineries throughout Canada first. We still have our prosperity buried due to Liberal obsession with carbon.

Tom Mulcair on Pierre Poilievre's opposition to Alto high-speed rail: "Maybe he thinks he's going to get some votes out of this. But I've rarely seen... that it pays off to be against a big infrastructure project, especially one that Canadians have been clamouring for not just decades, generations."

@Nasdad_TO Did you read this project? It's not fast at all since it slows in urban areas. Better with pipelines to remove wagons from the rails.

Canadians who want high-speed rail don’t care whether it’s built in Eastern Canada or Western Canada. We just want great things built in this country again. 🇨🇦

They said AI would destroy art. The new He-Man movie cost $200,000,000. I made this in 5 days for $500. Imagine what $199,999,500 could do for world hunger. Just saying.

Canada's whole claim to fame is being next to the U.S. It's all people know about them. If they weren't next to the U.S., they'd be one of the most obscure countries. Only 1 in 100 people would be able to find them on a map.

@DecellesFA @mikethenavyguy Well, I'd argue even just having passenger-only tracks with the *same* equipment would improve things vastly. Then running FAST service would be a matter of buying the running equipment (if the track was engineered the right way).

@HenriAGS How exactly? 3:07 avg time according to Alto. Via ran 3h59 services between Montreal and Toronto for YEARS. (metropolitan line) Why not increase throughput of existing rail and divert oil to pipeline to remove traffic instead?

The Alto HSR project is estimated to boost GDP by $24.5-$35 billion every year when completed By comparison, Energy East was estimated to boost GDP by $35 billion in total over its lifespan A pipeline is "money now" but HSR is "more money and economic transformation long-term"
🇨🇦 Henri A 🇨🇦@HenriAGS

Weird how Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives want to "protect private property" from high-speed rail, but they don't care to "protect private property" if it belongs to Indigenous people vs. a pipeline... What's different, I wonder? 🤔

@YukonStrong At least the canadiens.. please not the leaf. That mission was already planned. This is just a flyover. It's the other ones after that that will be interesting. Just wondering what will happen with the gateway partners and NASA changing the missions up.

Trump revived NASA in 2017 Trump pushed for Mars Trump pushed for the Moon The same day USA returned to space, Carney gave himself a raise and upped liquor taxes. The only reason Canada is headed to the moon is because Trump is our neighbor. And libtards CAN’T STAND IT

@Doulos300 @DschlopesIsBack read his bio first. He's trained for exactly this (space physics and satelitte tracking)+ a CF-18 pilot/colonel. Not alot of people with that knowledge portfolio. You'll get a few canadians in the upcoming missions because of the robotic arms if they want to dock etc.

@DschlopesIsBack Why the F is a canadian going? They cant do anything on their own. What have they given to our space program to warrant 25% of seating?! This is BS and even more reason for nasa to be gutted. They are going to get people killed and waster billions bc of DEI

@DschlopesIsBack Don't be a hack. He's a specialist of space physics, a masters in satelitte tracking, trains astronauts in... those areas. EXACTLY what you need for the Artemis II mission. where you are tracking artemis around the moon.

@gator_gum a pipeline would allow 2/3 of Canada to be finally self sufficient from American oil and gas, right now Ontario and east of it relies on the generosity of Donald J Trump for the oil and gas heating our homes and the gas and diesel powering our vehicles Seems shortsighted

So, building high speed rail is "the west subsidizing" the east.... But, building a pipe line isn't the opposite? Also, this isn't remotely how taxation works. We don't pay "per person" for projects.
Paul Mitchell@PaulMitchell_AB

Ottawa wants to spend $90 Billion on high-speed rail between Toronto and Quebec City. That's $4000 out of the pocket of every Canadian taxpayer to fund something that 99% will never use. As usual, Western Canadians will be paying to subsidize Ontario and Quebec. Insanity.

@gator_gum The Alto is not fast. it's 3h toronto-mtl vs 5:30 for via rail or 4:30 ish with optimized rail + pipeline to offload oil from train lines. It's not worth 90 billions.
