    They are unfortunately; it’s the same in Ottawa which is currently planning to add more lanes to HW 417.

    This announcement from the government needs to come with a heavy financial commitment to transit which I didn’t see promised in the article. We need high speed rail between cities and we need more commuter/inner city rail inside our cities if we want to get people off the highways.

    Unfortunately all the federal government has promised so far for the Windsor -> Québec corridor is “high frequency rail” which is not going to incentivise people to take the train.
