Ontario Premier Doug Ford shouldn’t sit around while the federal government burns taxpayer money on a high-speed rail line in his backyard. He should try to stop it.
The proposed Alto high-speed rail line would be 1,000 kilometres long, running from Toronto to Quebec City. The feds say the line would cost taxpayers up to $90 billion. That’s $2,170 per Canadian or $8,680 for a family of four. But there are lots of reasons not to trust the government’s estimate.
