High-Speed Rail (HSR) - Toronto/Pearson/Kitchener/London

I won't rise to the 'redneck' bait.

BuildingScout saying that the UK is rather unique with their cohort of conservatives opposed as a matter of course to all change is really correct. The Tea Party and other right-wingers in the states are not really analogous- they're not conservative so much as 'anti-government.' They don't necessarily oppose change. They could easily be swayed to support anything if it seems to be 'market-driven'(and oppose anything if not).
