Ottawa is an easy fix - stop there on the way to Montreal. I can't imagine it will be that big a detour at 250km/h. Fits in nicely with the move to restore the torn up section of track from Havelock to Smith's Falls(ish) to allow Toronto-Peterborough-Ottawa trains. The line through Peterborough is seriously underutilized; three round trips a week, serving a quarry and the Quaker Oats plant and precious little else. The downside is Kingston gets bypassed, but I suspect fitting high speed along the CPR line will be easier.
