Cost of Quebec City - Windsor high-speed rail corridor has already doubled, years before construction can even begin

The original estimates, cooked up by the Liberal Party in 2024, clocked in at 60 billion CAD. The revised estimate, released today by the Parliamentary Budget Office, doubles that number! And remember, it's the earliest of early days, and opposition to this project hasn't begun to coalesce. Frankly, like most of Carney's pipe(line) dreams, they make for splashy announcements, but most of this stuff will never see the light of day. They do, however, serve to reinforce the illusion that all these fab projects somehow represent our stand against The Ugliest American of all time. You know, the guy who demanded we more than triple our "defence" spending from 1.4% of GDP to 5%! Yup, that's the guy we're defying with a trillion in deficit spending for military and another T for infrastructure. PM Carney has put our country on the same path to war our NATO allies are speeding down. Germany, France, and UK have all announced spending cuts to social programs to facilitate massive boosts to military spending. These NATO allies are people our useless legacy media claim Carney wants to forge an anti-Trump alliance with. Ya, I don't know how retarded you'd have to be to swallow that shit. An anti-Trump alliance with a bunch of impotent clowns known to refer to Mafia Don as "Daddy?"
