Don't be fooled by this op-ed in The Globe and Mail. The choice isn't between a "$75-billion funding injection...for Canada’s urban transit systems" (which is not even on the table) and high-speed rail. It's between clean, fast, frequent trains serving half Canada's population, and even more pipelines, LNG and mining. 🧡
