Pallas Data : Quebecers Love the High-Speed Train PQ Leader Wants to Kill
New polling finds Paul St-Pierre Plamondon out of step with much of the Quebec electorate.
Parti Québécois leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon’s criticism of the federal government’s proposed high-speed rail project generated no shortage of headlines last week in Quebec media.
The Alto line would link Quebec City and Toronto, with stops in Trois-Rivières, Laval, Montreal, Ottawa, and Peterborough. Reaching speeds of more than 300 kilometres per hour, the trains would cut the trip from Montreal to Toronto to about three hours, while travel between Montreal and Quebec City would take roughly ninety minutes.
St-Pierre Plamondon was unconvinced.
