What could this be?

Minister Alghabra and MPs Khalid, Fonseca, and van Koeverden to make an important announcement on enhanced passenger and freight rail services - Canada.ca

MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO – The Minister of Transport, the Honourable Omar Alghabra, and MP Iqra Khalid, MP Peter Fonseca, and MP Adam van Koeverden, will make an announcement on passenger and freight rail services in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area.

If it is funding for freight by-pass they get a gold star of approval. I can't imagine any other news to improve passenger and rail freight they could make of significance.

Perhaps a hyperloop?

Maybe it’s an announcement to start the process of considering changes to increase passenger-rail viability.

Yes, I’m cynical.

That would be great.............but for a project that substantial, I'd expect the PM to be at the announcement.

No PM, No provincial reps, don't see anyone from Mx or from CN/CP either on the press release.

I'd be concerned over this being another 'we're working together to think about possibly studying' type announcements.

But hopefully its more substantive.

The fact that freight is mentioned is different; and were one optimistic, perhaps a reason to be hopeful.

It’s most likely studies around the Missing Link. @Northern Light is right: if there were serious $$$ (and isn’t this supposed to be on the order of $10B?) attached to this I think the PM would be there instead.

The only other option is something to do with the new Milton freight yard?

 

[innsertnamehere]

milton freight yard seems most likely to me.

"More trains, more often" would seem to imply what the announcement is about.

hmm so it does seem to be something about Milton GO service.. odd as you would think provincial representatives would be there.

So, it appears as though its the Milton Line.

But the 'more trains' would, I presume, be GO trains, so odd not to have Mx present and the provincial Minister.

 

[Northern Light]

Its not all that often UT gets to see myself and @innsertnamehere in synch........ LOL

Must be a full blue moon in broad daylight or something.....

The weird thing I have noticed is that the representatives who attend these events are always inconsistent. For instance, for some reason both the MP and MPP of Aurora-Newmarket attended the announcement of Clark Station being announced (which is far away from either of their ridings).
