CBC’s Cross Country Checkup recently aired an episode focused on discussing and debating Alto. During the program, two experts with opposing views on the project — Matti Siemiatycki and Michael Schabas—answered questions from callers. Link to the episode...

Interesting position for the feds to take. Taxes are easy to suspend, much harder to re-apply. With how things are going, unlikely that gas prices will go back down and stabilize by September. Also, this revenue is redistributed to municipalities to fund infrastructure. That money has to come...

This is something Canadian governments should consider, IMO. The economic benefits of reduced airfares would be worth the cost to subsidize airport capital costs.

The quality of AI videos are getting so good its scary. Pretty soon we'll be seeing entire movies completed with only AI.

The private consortium, Cadence, will be in charge of operating the service and the plan is for them to operate the service with minimal government operating subsidies. If they conclude another station or two is required to ensure the financial viability of the project, i think the government's...

Opinion piece in the Star outlining how Alto is complicating the Liberals chances in the upcoming byelection in Terrebonne...

That the project is already getting this politicized this early 3-4 years until shovels are in the ground isn't the best sign. Will take a tremendous amount of political will to see it through completion.

Former CPC Peterborough MP Dean Del Mastro has come out and criticized Poilievre's announced opposition today.

With PP and Lewis as his opposition, Carney might win 300 seats.

Conservatives have been watching the opposition to this bubble in recent weeks and likely saw an opportunity to exploit it as a wedge issue. The decision for PP to announce this in the Peterborough area seems especially baffling, but PP hasn't shown much in the way of political instincts in the...

Its the board that pushed him out., not government. AC is a corporation based in Montreal, and his lack of French was long a source of controversy. This was just the last straw. The bad publicity and optics were harming their bottom line.

Could they not have found a way to hide the exposed scaffolding? Looks pretty bushleague/ugly from the outside. I wonder if FIFA's overpriced ticket prices have lowered demand from fans intially interested in attending. There's several campaigns online from various fan groups to encourage...

WSJ is reporting that the Iranians also damaged an E-3 AWACS aircraft during the Saudi air base attack...

Defence Reporter Murray Brewster takes the government to task online for what he alleges is an increasing lack of transparency regarding recent defence expenditures. Increasing defence spending currently enjoys broad support across Canada. However, that could change if its perceived the...

Hopefully we get a new provincial government in a few years that sees value in regional rail and revives the original plans of GO Expansion. Will likely require cleaning house at Metrolinx.

The commentary/analysis on this has been that this measure would make more construction financially feasible and increase housing starts, thus increasing housing supply and put a dent on housing affordability challenges for the middle class.

Sounds like a bit of lip service to somewhat quell Trump's threats against Nato.

Dougie has finally clued in to the fact that a high speed rail project is being advanced in his province and decided to weigh in.

The CEO of Germany's TKMS was on the CBC a couple weeks ago and was pretty dismissive of the South Korean proposal, coming off as arrogant. Said they didn't need to publicize their bid like Hanwha was, because "we're the serious guys — we're Germans".
