Very cynically, this will not happen in our lifetime. I'll believe it when it actually start being build, aka they lay down tracks.

I didn't get past the paywall on this article yet, but I've seen in previous articles about the #VIA #HFR project that in the Fall the project will move to the next phase of design; actual building would still be years off, if the project proceeds at all.

I have hopes for this project as well.

Less optimistically, there's the point of view of our fellow CoSocialite @hub : cosocial.ca/@hub/1132490767932…

@mpjgregoire our politicians are so much courage that the rail baron and landlord will be the one deciding... and we know what they want. And it's not efficient transportation.

Non-withstanding that I will see Western federal politicians from the failed petrostate cry foul because they don't get to

@hub
But moving on to the next phase of design would be such a good way to display Canadian world-class expertise in high speed rail reports...

The WSP team is hopeful they'll be the winners.

AtkinsRéalis has a strong team, sure, but WSP beat them on the Turcot Project.
