Realistically I can't see high-speed rail as the headline item: it's just too expensive, surely well over $10B for just Toronto-Montreal. However ... if the province is actually planning to fund Windsor-Toronto, the feds just might be able to top that up and accelerate the project. Maybe!
The VIA Rail CEO's strategy for getting that $10B is private financing of rail construction. He's concluded that it's just too hard to get government to spend on high-speed rail.
