Poilievre says government should cancel Toronto-Quebec City high-speed rail project | CBC News
""The project is another example of a ridiculous pie-in-the-sky Liberal spending initiative," Poilievre stated, emphasizing his belief that the $90-billion cost does not make sense."
""Alto's CEO Martin Imbleau expressed a preference for fair settlements with landowners, but acknowledged that expropriation is a possibility for the high-speed rail project.""
""Poilievre panned the idea of expropriating land for the project, calling it a 'Liberal land grab' and voicing strong opposition to the government's approach.""
Pierre Poilievre criticized the high-speed rail project linking Toronto and Quebec City, labeling it a $90-billion Liberal boondoggle. The project, with construction expected to start by the end of the decade, has raised concerns among residents about land expropriation. Alto, the Crown corporation managing the project, plans to contact property owners for assessments. Prime Minister Mark Carney suggested the project could be a national interest, while Poilievre condemned the potential expropriation as a Liberal land grab. Some politicians support the initiative despite Poilievre's opposition.
