Province's plan remains short on critical details
Former U.S. president Ronald Reagan once said: “If politics were a musical, it would be Promises, Promises”.
The province received encouraging news regarding its modern fleet's ability to perform under the harshest of winter conditions in the region. It will now go ahead with improvements to some of the existing railway and station infrastructure.Developments like these are welcome. They represent a change from the status quo Northerners are accustomed to — usually neglect or indifference from policymakers.
The trains were supposed to be running by the end of the Ford government’s first term in office. The goalposts have since moved to the mid-2020s.It appears the region's passenger rail service will be funded by Ontario Northland's freight contracts.
These days, Ontario Northland's services seem to come and go like the wind. Customers pay more to travel relatively the same distances and to destinations mutually served by GO, or their federally funded counterparts —VIA Rail Canada.The government says it's working on a plan for an efficient passenger rail and connecting bus network that maximizes connectivity. Still, I have doubts about whether they've learned from mistakes made in the past.
