Documents supporting Via Rail’s ongoing attempt to secure better access to tracks owned by Canadian National Railway Co. shed new light on an increasingly strained relationship between the carriers.

    Instead of just announcing and promising high speed rail every few years, can’t the federal government help or do something about the “sharing” issues?

    Like, force the CN in some ways, or in buying or building routes that VIA would own. Wouldn’t it be needed for high speed trains anyway?

    It’s both sad and frustrating to see VIA struggle like this, and have the federal government not really helping in any other ways than empty announcements.

      I don’t think the feds really give a shit. Half them are probably on big auto or big oil payroll and i doubt the conservatives are going to be pro-rail.
