Canada's New High Speed Rail ALTO | The Train Canada Needs?

Описание: Canada is the only G7 nation without true high-speed rail—but the ~$120 BILLION ALTO project is finally changing that.

I dive into ALTO (The Toronto-Quebec City High-Speed Rail Network), the largest infrastructure project in Canadian history. Discover the risks and rewards including, the staggering cost estimates ($80-$120B), and the massive Cadence consortium (CDPQ Infra, SNCF, Air Canada) selected to deliver it.

This dedicated 1,000 km, 300 km/h electric line will slash travel times between Toronto and Montreal to three hours, radically transforming the economic and social landscape of the Quebec-Toronto Corridor.

I break down the biggest reasons why Alto is vital for Canada and the reasons why the project is risky from the get go.

Economic Super-Region: Unifying Canada's major financial hubs.

Climate & Decarbonization: Eliminating short-haul flights and reducing highway congestion.

Housing Crisis Relief: Opening up regional cities like Peterborough, Trois-Rivières, and Ottawa as viable commuter hubs.

Will this project finally succeed where decades of proposals failed?
