On Monday, federal Transportation Minister Steven MacKinnon announced that he’d like to see a change in the proposed route for Toronto-to-Quebec City high-speed rail. He called for a detour through, and stop in, Kingston.
It would only add a few minutes to the journey, he told The Globe and Mail.
The chief executive officer of Alto, the Crown corporation planning the line, echoed his political master. “It may add a couple of minutes,” Martin Imbleau told the Ottawa Citizen. “It would be marginal.”
