    yea sorry, i should’ve explained 😅

    i meant high-speed rail. there’s a project to build a high-speed rail line between toronto and quebec city, and the PQ have vowed to fight against it for some reason? despite it being severely needed (literally half of canada lives in this line and the train service currently is pitiful)

    the official reasoning is that it’s too expensive… but most of the funding comes from the federal govt anyways?

    it’s clearly not as bad as all the bigotry, but it still sends a clear signal that the party is aligning itself on conservative values and auto industry interests, despite its socdem branding.
