Episode Details

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is calling for the cancellation of a proposed high-speed rail line from Toronto to Quebec City, labeling it a costly boondoggle. The project, led by Alto, would span 1000 kilometers with seven stops, aiming to reduce travel time between major cities. However, local opposition is strong due to potential disruptions and limited benefits for affected communities. Poilievre argues the funds could be better used to address debt, taxes, and inflation, citing the rapid construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway in the 19th century. As debates intensify, the fate of this ambitious project remains uncertain.
