Mid-2030s is WAY sooner than I would have expected! It seems like we're finally taking HFR/HSR seriously in this country for once. I would visit Montreal for long weekend trips several times a year, if I could be there in 3.5 hrs plus whatever time the streamlined GO train to Union would take (70 minutes?). Kitchener city centre to Montreal city centre in under 5 hours would be fantastic, and absolutely faster than flying. It's so weird that I hardly hear anything about this project, though. I stumbled across it maybe 6 months ago on Twitter when the process was a few years in already. We should be shouting about this from the rooftops; it's an amazing undertaking for the country.
(And if we're lucky, by the time VIA looks to do phase 2 of this project to extend it into southwestern Ontario, Kitchener will have increased density and made itself the obvious choice to route through.)
