Even between Dorval and Pickering (486 km, and thus 53 km shorter than MTRL-TRTO via the Kingston Sub), this would equate an average speed in excess of 162 km/h. Not impossible, but highly concerning (if true)…

The way some people round down prices (like calling something $3 that is $3.99 ) there is a good chance that she did it in 3 hours and 59 minutes and called it 3 hours. LOL

My father did North Bay to London in 3 hours... back in the 80s, before much of the 4laning was done.
And he did it in a Chevette!
Getting back to the challenge of the tunnel.... Besides the additional cost, what is the issue with digging a deeper tunnel to bypass all that infrastructure?

My grandpa drove from Timmins to Windsor in 2 hours back in the 30s before the roads were paved. In a Model T!

What are the chances the Quebec government says they'll contribute the funding required to ensure the line reaches Gare Centrale. They're not shy when it comes to deficits.

HFR will of course reach Gare Centrale, using the same route as how current trains reach it. It’s Quebec City that won’t get reached…

Mechanical issues and unsuccessful tow keep Via Rail passengers stuck near Brockville for hours
Passengers on a Via Rail train from Toronto found themselves stuck south of Ottawa for several hours Tuesday because of mechanical issues on the train.
Another disabled Train. This time buses were available.
Does anyone know if it was a Siemens set?

Could they not tow the train dead in tow? That way you won't need to connect the MU cables?Of course, and with their signature “can’t tow this!” issue:

Discord links don't lead anywhere if you aren't already in the server. Is this a public group?The Underground City and the Autoroute Ville-Marie are indeed in the path for almost any alternative tunnel alignment:
VIA Rail
No I was just throwing a number out there. It would probably be closer to $3 billion or so for the tunnel, since you cant just tunnel where the existing tunnel is, youd have to bypass the above ground portion of the REM as well all the way to the A40 station where the Mascouche line now...urbantoronto.ca
The only path I could possibly see would be underneath Robert-Bourassa, but that would imply closing it between Saint-Antoine and René-Levesque:
