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

... I do agree with some of it.

I disagree with the further abuse of the term "fake news".

That being said, it was a bit of a disappointing announcement, but I also didn't see it hyped all that much.

@chutten  I agree, I have a hard time seeing infra getting disrupted.  That takes orders of magnitude more money and effort.  Uber can come and go in an a year, infra you build is a decades long proposal.  Not only is it difficult, it's also risky, if hyperloop has some unintended consequences (like the freeways did) it would be good to know about them before deploying a billion lane KMs or so.
