VIA Rail

It's correct enough.  The government cut funding.  Of course it was going to impact service.  There is direct causation, even if the government didn't choose the exact cuts.

Right. A better way to phrase it might have been: "More trains could be added to Stratford, St. Mary's, London and Sarnia, including the evening return train from Toronto that was eliminated after Stephen Harper cut the VIA funding in 2012."

Just to split more hairs:  "More trains could be added to Stratford, St. Mary's, London and Sarnia, including the evening return train from Toronto that was eliminated as a result of Stephen Harper cutting the VIA funding in 2012."
