Show Notes

A new report shows the government’s high-speed rail boondoggle between Toronto and Quebec City could cost up to $113 billion.

Shovels haven’t even hit the dirt, and the price tag is already expected to be $23 billion more than the government’s estimate.

Taxpayers are already paying more than $1 billion every week just to cover interest on the federal debt and we can’t afford the government borrowing billions more to pay for politicians’ pet projects.

Carney needs to scrap this high-speed rail project that shows all the signs of a taxpayer boondoggle.
