In honour of the opening of the new Anse-à-l'Orme (A3) branch, here is the REM overlaid other Canadian cities. I tried to roughly centre Gare Centrale with the centre of the city to convey just how much high-quality, automated rail has been built in such a relatively short period of time!!
The current two branches of the REM imposed over Toronto, with Gare Centrale roughly lining up with the intersection of Bloor and Yonge. The A1 branch (that terminates in Brossard) extends past the Beaches and into the lake, just south of Birch Cliff. The A2 branch to Deux-Montagne extends well into Mississauga, terminating around Erin Mills parkway, north of Eglinton Ave. The newly opened A3 branch would extend all the way into southern Oakville, close to Sixteen Mile Creek.The current REM laid over Metro Vancouver, with Gare Centrale centred around Granville Station. The A1 branch extends into West Vancouver and terminates west of Mount Seymour. The main branch extends roughly parallel with the existing SkyTrain ROW, branching out around Edmonds. The A2 branch extends into Surrey and terminates around East Newton. The new A3 branch reaches into Coquitlam, terminating in Port Coquitlam.The REM overlaid Ottawa, with Gare Centrale roughly lining up with Parliament station. The A1 branch extends east up to the boundary of Orleans. The other two branches extend west, with A2 terminating west of Stittsville, and the new A3 branch extending into farmland.The REM laid over Edmonton, with Gare Centrale centred over Churchill Station. The A1 branch extends north east along Fort Road, terminating in the Horse Hills area. The other two branches run south of the city, with A2 terminating in farmland southwest of the airport, and A3 terminating due south of Leduc.

Remember that earlier Bonnie Henry said the 4 Canadians had no known direct contact with the people who fell ill on the ship, and they were considered "lower risk because of the location of their cabins on the ship and the activities they were engaged in."
British Columbia’s provincial health officer says one of the four Canadians isolating in the province who had been on board a cruise ship where there was a hantavirus outbreak has received a “presumptive positive” test.

Dr. Bonnie Henry says the person, who is from the Yukon, developed “mild symptoms” on Thursday including a fever and a headache and that samples have been sent to a national microbiology lab in Winnipeg for the tests to be confirmed.

Henry says protocols were followed and that three of the four people who were isolating in B.C. have been brought to hospitals in Victoria and the fourth person remains isolating at home.

Despite Health Canada recently approving the updated Novavax vaccine to protect against COVID-19, the federal government refused to order any, citing "low demand" which we know is false. However, individual provinces are able to procure their own supplies if they so choose. Let's put pressure on BC policymakers to do just that: tell them you demand access to Novavax!

Speeding up (not on single measure that might speed it up) the Finch LRT is good, but we do also have to reckon with the fact that on street tramways are just ultimately never going to be an express option for suburban Toronto. If you want express you need grade separation.
