This thread seemed as a good a place as any to put this:

Wynne to announce plans for high-speed rail from Toronto to Windsor

"You get a train ....and you get a train ......EVERYBODY GETS A TRAIN!"

The Ontario government will announce Friday it's moving ahead with planning a high-speed rail line from Toronto to Windsor, CBC News has learned. Senior Liberal sources told CBC News the government will begin preliminary design work for the 350-kilometre link and invest $15 million in a comprehensive environmental assessment. Premier Kathleen Wynne will make the announcement in London on Friday morning, flanked by Transportation Minister Steven Del Duca and Deputy Premier Deb Matthews. Then she'll travel to Kitchener to make the same announcement at noon.
The report recommends a railway that could carry trains travelling 250 km/h and could be built at an estimated $55 million per kilometre, which would mean an approximate total cost of $19 billion. The report also examines a scenario for trains capable of travelling 300 km/h, but it would cost nearly three times as much ($149 million per km).

$15M for an environmental study. Yay.

And then $55M per km for the rail.

And just like drag racing, it gets exponentially more expensive the faster you go. To get a train that goes 50 kph faster you need to dole out 3X more dough.

WHY DO WE NEED THAT. Seriously do you really need a middle ground between the 50 min plane ride and the existing 4.5 hour train at a cost of billions??

So you bring in more people from 150 km plus to Union Station during the rush hour and dump them on an over capacity TTC. Not every job is in the downtown core.
I am so glad I will be almost retired by the time the Environmental assessments wrap up.

[WTF]

how the fuck does a Gov't continue to borrow money when they have a track record of NOT PAYING DOWN THEIR EXISTING DEBT???

this shit has to stop now

I know that running a Gov't is not the same as running a household....but for fucks sake.....running a household like this would result in the bank telling you to go fuck yourself while they dangle handcuffs in front of you

there needs to be legislation to make this Gov't behavior illegal

municipal gov'ts can't behave like this.....and there should be similar legislation for provincial and federal

if you can't manage your fucking bills then you don't get any more fucking money

It should be far closer to one in the same Tim. No bucks = stop spending money.

Why the fuck do we need to go to Windsor so quickly for? It's fucking Windsor!!!

[ZR]

As per the norm, solving problems that aren't a problem.

Why the fuck do we need to go to Windsor so quickly for? It's fucking Windsor!!!

Hey, what did Windsor ever do to you?


This idea is beyond retarded, there's no real demand for that and the cost is never less than projected, it's always more.....I can't imagine what this will actually cost us in the end. This idiot must know she's done, so she's trying to screw us over as much as humanly possible while she still can.
How the hell did she ever get elected?
