Brendan Dawe @dawe.bsky.social · 14hIt would be political malpractice and bad planning to allow some 28% minority government that will be gone in a few seasons derail planning and preparation for a national project that, moreover, undermines that minority faction’s whole raison d’être 1131

Brendan Dawe @dawe.bsky.social · 16hThe long term benefits of projects that connect Quebec and the rest of the country seem pretty obvious to me and I suspect the PQ as well 150

Brendan Dawe @dawe.bsky.social · 18hAlas near as I can tell while the Englewood Logging Railway (rip) did do passenger service it was always on an ad-hoc private carrier basis so there is no timetable to be modelled 150
