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.

Moon landing denial collapses on one physical fact: Apollo 11 deployed a precision laser retroreflector at its landing site in July 1969. TLDR: Earth-based observatories verified its return signal before the crew left the Moon. It still returns photons today. No prior mission landed at that coordinate. Every translunar-capable launch was tracked during the Cold War. Multiple rival nations independently range the same hardware. If Apollo did not place it, produce: – The hidden launch – The hidden landing – The hidden installation – The hidden tracking failure – The hidden multinational conspiracy Absent that, Apollo put it there. ⸻ The Details What Apollo 11 Placed Apollo 11 astronauts deployed the first Lunar Laser Ranging retroreflector in Mare Tranquillitatis. It is a corner-cube optical array designed to return laser light directly back to its source. It was ranged from Earth after deployment and before crew departure. It still operates today. ⸻ Why We Know It’s the Reflector When a laser pulse hits the Moon: • ~1 photon returns for every 10^17 sent • Regolith produces diffuse, smeared scatter • A reflector produces a sharp, time-compressed return spike These signatures are measurably different. We aim at a mapped Apollo 11 coordinate and detect a device-specific optical return. This is not random lunar reflection. ⸻ Independent Verification Lunar Laser Ranging has been performed by: United States – Apache Point, McDonald, Haleakala France – Côte d’Azur (Grasse) Germany – Wettzell Italy – Matera (MLRO) China – Yunnan Observatories Historic USSR – Crimean Observatory Australia – Orroral Independent nations. Independent facilities. Same reflector. ⸻ Why “Something Else Put It There” Fails There are no pre-Apollo landings at that coordinate. Every translunar launch was tracked by the U.S., USSR, and others. There is no missing lunar mission. To deny Apollo placed it, you must produce: 1. An alternate launch 2. An alternate landing 3. Contradictory tracking data 4. A physical explanation for the reflector-specific photon return No such evidence exists. Meanwhile, the reflector continues to return photons from the Apollo 11 site - 50+ years later. Explain the mirror. Physically.

In an interview with Reuters, Trump says: Will express 'my disgust' with NATO in his speech; says he is 'absolutely' considering withdrawing U.S. from NATO.

🤦‍♂️ Iran has the same president it has had for almost two years: Masoud Pezeshkian. Neither Pezeshkian nor any other Iranian officials have requested a ceasefire. Iran would like nothing more than for the US to attempt a ground invasion. Trump is a buffoonish liar.

High speed rail is a developed country thing. It's an absolute embarrassment we don't have it yet. Saying no to HSR is anti-growth and brain dead. You can oppose a particular project or parts of a project, but saying no to HSR in favour of expanding Billy Bishop & existing highways? Lame.
