Ah makes sense.

I wasn’t even concerned about the low priority of passenger cars. I meant the physical condition of the track itself, and the resulting reduction in top speed along many section in the maritimes.

I wouldn’t be surprised, the govt loves investing in things and then just giving it away to private companies to squander. It’s the 3pp way.

Also: via rail sucks. They don’t actually maintain their tracks, they just keep slowing down the trains instead.

They only really cover Nova Scotian news, so I wasn’t sure if we’d care to include it, but Saltwire was included so I figured I’d mention it 👍

A good replacement for Saltwire is the Halifax Examiner.

Almost all “Canadian” news media are now American News media.
They went on a buying spree of Canadian news outlets over the last 5 years or so

“I buy from companies who most closely match my ethics” is virtue signaling, now?

We live in a capitalist society, and voting with our wallet is the only vote we get. Not everyone can afford to vote, but why wouldn’t you if you could?

If this is virtue signaling, it’s the most subtle milquetoast virtue signaling ever.

I agree but I think that that actually enforcing it will be even harder than enforcing the existing income and capital gains taxes. We should still try, but we should spread our net wider.
