$4,000 Per Taxpayer… For THIS?! Canada’s Train Disaster Explained

from Tap The Maple · host Bakes On Things

Canada is considering a $90 billion high-speed rail project between Toronto and Quebec City, and while politicians call it “nation-building,” the reality may be something far more dangerous.In this episode of Tap the Maple, we break down why Pierre Poilievre is pushing back against the project, including concerns about massive taxpayer costs, potential land expropriation, and whether this is the worst possible time for a project of this scale.With Canada facing rising cost of living, energy shortages, housing affordability issues, and declining productivity, this video explores what $90 billion could actually do if invested elsewhere, from LNG exports and pipelines to electricity infrastructure and economic growth.Is this truly nation-building… or are we watching the normalization of reckless government spending?This isn’t just about a train.This is about the future of Canada’s economy.
