Doug Ford’s MPPs criticize Mark Carney’s Alto high-speed rail project after Billy Bishop veto

Stung by Prime Minister Mark Carney’s rethink on Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport, Premier Doug Ford’s Progressive Conservatives are now expressing doubts about Ottawa’s Alto high-speed rail scheme.

In a transportation megaproject tit-for-tat, 11 Tory MPPs have issued a statement critical of Carney’s proposed rail line connecting Toronto to Quebec City.

As first disclosed by the Star on Monday, the two major infrastructure plans are linked in an informal deal between the federal and provincial governments.
