@cavellnorth @nationalpost You expect a ticket price for a ticket with no starting point and no destination? If you intend to have an intelligent conversation, ask accordingly.
English

@pourjamp @nationalpost So, how much will a ticket to ride cost if the operating budget is expected to be $1.3 billion per year?

FIRST READING: What Canada could do with the $90B it's blowing on high-speed rail nationalpost.com/opinion/what-c…

English

@iAnonPatriot @Steve196009 This white minority has been in charge of Canadian government for the past 130 years, so this is your doing. Secondly if folks stop going to school or learn a skill, someone else moves in and takes the job.
Lastly, at 43% level it’s easier for ya’ll to go back to Europe ;)
English

@younige1234 @60Minutes This is done better by public sector. Europeans, Chinese and Japanese have done it via public sector for obvious reasons.
English

@60Minutes We need to let the private sector do it instead of government. government screws up anything it touches
English

Morocco, Serbia, China, Japan, and much of Western Europe have high-speed rail. Why doesn’t the United States? cbsn.ws/4dwuTZl

@quipianist @nationalpost My property tax bill kinda indicated that I’ll pay that first $90b in the next 5 years.
English

@pourjamp @nationalpost This 90 B. is equivalent to our present Canadian debt... so we'll double it.
English

@Poochoo27423 @nationalpost That’s a possibility that I am afraid of. I know a few of those projects with extreme wastage in Canada.
That’s a shame not to have built anything of significance in the past decade. Maybe we should try to change that.
English

@pourjamp @nationalpost They'll abandon it and waste a lot of money
Name me something Canada's built in the last decade
English

@quipianist @nationalpost I only have 140 characters to answer your question but I assure you this is not a myth. Check this study and please don’t label it as a partisan study until you finish: cdhowe.org/publication/th…
English

@pourjamp @nationalpost Really? Sounds like a Greek myth to me.. what sort of growth?
English

@Steve196009 @nationalpost I actually voted PC last election. Why is name calling the only defence to an economical argument? Go to college or read some basic economics books. You might be able to converse better.
English

@mobinfiltrator Your opinion is packed with inaccuracies. It will cost more than $1b annually to operate. It’s not supposed to make money but to provide a service. It’s ok to take 60yr to recoup its cost. With the 5 year ROI view we would have never had Canadian railway that’s 130yrs old.
English

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.
English

@DaleDobach72006 @nationalpost Name calling is the right approach for you. Stay in the basement, wait for AI to work for you and keep yelling at the tv and be the best social economic warrior you could be.
English

@pourjamp @nationalpost It doesn't make money! It's a liberal boondoggle in the making.
We are a resource economy, whether the net zero liberal grifters in Ottawa care to admit it or not. A high speed train will COSTS billions, we don't have!
Typical fucking liberal economic moron.
English

@DaleDobach72006 @nationalpost Feel free to put your trust in the beta version of a 3 year old technology. Thankfully the decision makers in charge of this project don’t.
English

@pourjamp @nationalpost None of the least affected areas of employment and business need to take a high-speed train anywhere. The rest can be accomplished from home, if still required.
Anthropic's prediction of a "great recession" for white collar work is realistic and probable.

English

@cavellnorth @nationalpost Get your facts straight. The cost of operation would be higher than $1.4b in the first 5 years.
Just like UPExpress the idea is to price is competitive with other transportation modes in this case to airfare so people travel between major cities by rail than planes.
English

@pourjamp @nationalpost And the cost to operate at $1.4 billion per year. Who will pay for this? The price to ride will be astronomical that only the wealthy could afford it. So, are taxpayers footing the bill...again?
English

@DaleDobach72006 @nationalpost If so, true we should already notice the decline in car sales,traffic reduction during rush hour, etc.
Thinking one could sit in the basement while AI does everything for you is already proven false.
Infrastructure grows the economy it’s proven in every other developed country.
English

@pourjamp @nationalpost In the age of AI, moving people at high speeds for anything other than recreation is redundant. And how does that make money for years, when its estimated to cost billions annually to maintain?
English

@sfrantzman More potato, high flair for the first 5 min before adding the rice (I flip them half way not to get soggy later), more salt and pepper the potatos.
Keep it up.

یک مدرسه در کانادا در ماه رمضان اجازه نمیداده دانشآموزان در کافهتریا غذا بخورن مبادا که به تیریج قبای مسلمونها بربخوره 😳😱
توجه کنید: در کانادا…

A school in Canada just banned students from eating in the cafeteria to avoid offending anyone during ramadan. What's happening to the West?
