Quite possible. Unfortunately it’s not like they’re proposing to put the money into a provincial high speed network, or even just a provincial network. They just want to take the money for the high speed line and redistribute it to roads, hospitals, education, and the crumbs might go to public transit within cities. But nothing to connect cities together. Whatever the provincial party in power, there’s absolutely no plan beyond trying to have municipal transit networks as cheap and basic as possible.
Le chef du Parti Québécois, Paul St-Pierre Plamondon, annonce qu’il retirera le Québec du projet de TGV Alto du gouvernement fédéral estimé à potentiellement 200 milliards de dollars. La part du Québec s’élevant à près de 40 milliards de dollars dans le projet, un gouvernement du Parti Québécois demandera à ce que les sommes lui soient versées sans condition pour qu’il puisse l’investir dans les infrastructures prioritaires pour les Québécois: les routes, les hôpitaux, les écoles et le transport collectif dans les villes.
Yeah, sad Québecois noises…
God we suck.
you would really expect quebec not to be so petrosexual, but really in all the ways that matter we are just americans ~✨qui parlent français✨~
it’s sad to see
In this case, I think its because it would have strengthened bonds with the ROC
