Bonuses Before a Single Rail Is Laid

from Vancouver News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Executives at Canada’s high-speed rail project company Alto cashed in nearly $3 million in bonuses last year—before a single track was laid. With construction not even scheduled to start until 2029 and the full project costing $60–90 billion, critics are calling it an entitlement culture, funded by taxpayers and rewarded before any results. Meanwhile, VIA Rail, also a Crown corporation, handed out over $10 million in bonuses despite years of losses and declining performance. With Canada’s national debt already over a trillion, many demand these bonuses be slashed—especially when they’re tied to failure, not success.
