Back to EpisodesPoilievre Blasts Liberal Rail Plan, Vows to Scrap It
Description
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre criticizes Liberal governments high-speed rail plan, labeling it a massive waste of money. He promises to scrap the project if his party wins, saving families around eight thousand dollars. The plan, which includes fully electric trains and five stops, has faced opposition from rural folks and local councils due to land grab concerns and poor consultations. Poilievre also questions the timeline, while the government aims to start construction by 2028 or 2029. This rail fight underscores the tension between big-spending projects and taxpayer relief, with rural voices caught in the middle as election season approaches.
