Trump has added new plaques under his ‘presidential walk of fame’ in the White House. On Obama: “Barack Hussein Obama was the first Black President…One of the most divisive political figures in American history.” On Biden: “Sleepy Joe Biden was, by far, the worst President in American History... Nicknamed both “Sleepy” and “Crooked,” Joe Biden was dominated by his Radical Left handlers.”

“Nearly 40 faith leaders and community members are staging a "sit in" at Gov. Brad Little's office. The group is protesting the "bathroom bill" and "flag bill" signed into law yesterday. They are also demanding Gov. Little veto the "pediatric secretive transition bill". The group says all of these bills will affect transgender Idahoans.” from @ashumperttv on Instagram. The mayor just said their special flag 🏳️‍🌈 wasn’t religious and yet the unitarian priests are decorating their robes with it. Also, is it typical for the Governor to open his doors to protesters? #boise #idaho

@AnneF1610602 @mobinfiltrator Shrug, at least my grandchildren will have high speed rail, they, and the environment, will thank us. Many other countries have managed to build high speed rail, Canada can also do it.

@mobinfiltrator This boondoggle would cost Canadians in the neighborhood of $150 billion once the dust clears.

I see everyone arguing about the High speed rail. And most of those arguments ignore facts and are clearly partisan. They’re selling high-speed rail as a $60–90B project. Bullshit! 90% of megaprojects go over budget. California HSR? Quoted $33B, actually $120B+. UK HSR? Billions over and still climbing. Toronto LRT? Years late, billions over. This is going cost $2,500–$4,000 per Canadian. And who will use it? Primarily a corridor between Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City. Now the part they forget to mention. Even optimistic projections show 40–60 years to see a return. That’s assuming strong ridership, no major overruns, no delays. Reality? Most high-speed rail systems never make the money back invested and require ongoing public subsidies. So we’re borrowing tens of billions… to build something a portion of the country uses… that will never pay for itself… and in all likelihood cost 100s of millions a year to operate. This is not a smart investment. Someone stands to make a lot of money from this and it’s not everyday Canadians.

@DaneLloydMP They build caribou crossings so the pipelines don't affect migration. But the high speed rail will result in dozens of hundreds of roads being dead-ended affecting fire and ambulance response times.

@CrashDa46551883 @JoshDehaas So whatever bullshit propaganda source you use *really* wants you to believe. They certainly don't want you listening to interviews with knowledgeable people with first hand expertise. They work hard to convince you that your "common sense" is better than someone else's PhD.

There are about 22 million taxpayers in Canada. A $90 billion high-speed rail train would cost every single taxpayer $4,000. Just build. And that’s if it doesn’t go over budget. Before operating subsidies. The vast majority of those taxpayers would never set foot on it.

@Pajamaparty3rd Then fix the crap slowing down flying. Way cheaper to fix all the ridiculous nonsense required at airports than to build a train.

@peteremcc Slower than you can fly? Not that much slower once you factor in security check in, walking through the airport and luggage retrieval.

@CrashDa46551883 @JoshDehaas They still have CBC radio in Alberta right? Try listening to The Current, As it Happens, The House, Ideas, White Coat, Black Art. I know it is scary but you might learn something. I promise there is no subliminal messaging that will turn you into a Liberal.

@CrashDa46551883 @JoshDehaas Another bitter Albertan raised on a pablum of Liberal hate. Very sad, you really didn't have a chance. There is another way though, you don't have to live with all this anger, just let it go.

@JoshDehaas With the idiot liberals in charge it would be $500 billion over budget at least, of which a solid 90% would be funnelled off into liberal MPs pockets.

@JoshDehaas @TristinHopper So, a family in NS has to pay for the trail in Toronto? That seems pretty messed up. Federal Budget, should better the whole nation. Let Ontario and Quebec fund it

@JoshDehaas Let’s imagine the best possible scenario for the high speed train. It actually gets built, and somehow they overcome routing and NIMBY issues. It’s on budget. People use it. What are the chances we subsidize the regular trains and airlines whose business it takes? 100.00%.

@JoshDehaas Why can't we have a privately funding railway!? Why do we have to use taxpayer money for everything? Our Government needs to stop spending our money when the private sector can do it for free (to the taxpayer)

@JoshDehaas It'll end up $150 billion for half the route, it'll be 10 years late, and the operating cost will be 8x higher than promised.

But they already know a good chunk of that will be funneled back into their party's coffers, because it's going to areas the liberals have held seats in for a long time more than not... so economic benefit in those areas means more seats for longer. More economic benefit means more donations from those areas too. More donations means better campaigns which means more victories. It's a game of politics, when you follow the money
