Carney: "Our rail cars on our long distance and remote routes are more than 70 years old. They were built when the NHL had six teams. Goalies wouldn't wear masks. The Leafs would win the cup. That's a long time ago."

Work is moving ahead four years earlier than initially planned. This is a nearly 1,000 km project, which means construction can’t happen all at once. To do it right, it’s being built in phases, starting with the Ottawa-Montreal segment, with beginning of construction planned for 2029–2030.

For the first time ever, weekend service is coming to Kitchener GO — alongside increased service on the Kitchener Line. Beyond these service improvements, we're also entering an Agreement-in-Principle to purchase a portion of track owned by CN Rail between Bramalea and Georgetown GO.

If a simple coffee shop has a bot farm with 100s of phones to amplify their message, please consider what a foreign agency or adversarial operator is running on your favorite social media platform.

Especially today, please consider that the opinions you read, the calls to violence you hear, and the news you digest, are all an operation done to sow hatred in your mind and your soul.

Do not let anyone online turn you into something that you are not. Rationalize everything, take everything with a grain of salt, question everything for yourself, not based on how someone online is questioning it.

Turn off all distractions and focus on the mission you have, not the mission of someone trying to control your mind.

The era of airlines making billions off the unpaid labour of flight attendants is in its final days. Flight attendants are standing strong from coast to coast today to tell Air Canada loud and clear: unpaid work won't fly. #UnfairCanada #UnpaidWorkWontFly

Even trains need a break to reset and refuel after a busy day transporting thousands of passengers. This takes place at layover yards. Learn more about these sites and the newest one in development to support the growing Kitchener Line: https://t.co/6BP1gA0fx2

Imagine a railway system that can carry 16 million+ people—every single day! China’s 48,000 km smart and green high-speed rail network does just that! Discover the secrets behind #ChinaSpeed.

Ultimately, protests such as the #NoKings ones are useless, despite their intentions. To be effective, protests must disrupt the machinery of the state itself, which is why to build true power we need a militant labor movement that will engage in mass striking.

I nearly took a spill stopping the bike to take a picture of this. Good job @CentrWellington !

The corruption of our campaign finance system is THE most important political crisis facing our diminished democracy.

Arizona Democrats are trying to ban billionaire super PAC money from Democratic primaries.

They are absolutely right. I strongly support their resolution.

Oh.

[Alto @altotrain]

A signalling system that started in Europe is coming to Ontario and will improve the speed and frequency of your train rides. Watch to learn how.

The labor movement must target two companies with immense power: Walmart and Amazon.

Noooooo, Tom's sign off for The World at Six is one of the main things keeping my life together.

[Tom Harrington @cbctom]

Just want to say how overwhelmed I’ve been by the responses to my imminent retirement. So many kind comments, some making me tear up. I hoped my work had been seen, heard & made a difference. Your appreciation is an affirmation. Thank you. @CBCNews @cbcradio 🇨🇦🎙️🖥️
