PQ Leader Calls Rail Project Financial Disaster

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

The Parti Québécois is threatening to pull Quebec out of the massive Toronto-to-Quebec City high-speed rail project, calling it a “pharaonic” financial disaster that could cost up to $200 billion—with Quebec’s share hitting $40 billion. Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon argues that same money could fix Quebec’s crumbling infrastructure, which has a $40 billion maintenance gap. He also questions the rail’s real-world impact on traffic and accuses the Prime Minister of prioritizing legacy over public good, warning the project could be a costly failure if rushed ahead.
