Train #641 is being introduced starting May 27th, 2024, which departs Ottawa at 4:15, Kingston at 6:15, arriving in Toronto at 8:48am, which would be useful for anyone trying to get into a Toronto downtown office at 9am.

Canadian railway is a bad joke. Stuck in the 70s. Even the US has high speed passenger lines in service, with many more planned and under construction. Morocco has a high speed rail. Romania does. Saudia Arabia!

Meanwhile this shit is the best we get. A new train from Ottawa at 4am to arrive in Toronto at 9am. A route which could be done by a HSR in about two hours.

Well as a country we're working on it, hopefully done in 20 years if the Cons don't scrap or hamstring it.

We needed HSR 20 years ago, not 20 years into the future.
