The planned high-speed rail is an extreme waste of taxpayers’ money – which like Canada Post will costing taxpayers for years. This money could do a lot more important things for taxpayers. One big one stands out – if tax on corporate gas was cut, this would lower cost of groceries, as well as mean more money in pocket. Put this $90-plus billion to pay revenue the government gets from tax and people will get badly needed cost-of-living relief.

RIDING THE RAILS
One of the biggest new things in tourism is luxury trains. Many countries in the world have multiple versions of luxury trains – we have the Rocky Mountaineer but there are no staterooms. We need this going east from Toronto. Tourism is the new oil. Perhaps this could be presented to potential investors to develop a Canadian version in association with the other nations now bringing in fortunes in this tourism event.

Re “Toronto normalizing open drug use as taxpayers pick up the tab” (Brian Lilley, May 1): It’s sad that addicts are now accustomed to openly using drugs in Toronto. Regrettably, under Mayor Olivia Chow taxpayer money has been used to provide large quantities of drugs and paraphernalia to addicts for so-called “harm reduction.” But this has merely enabled drug use and made matters worse. Overdose deaths in Toronto climbed to 467 in 2024 from 137 in 2015. Furthermore, residents living near injection sites often have to endure harassment, assaults and vandalism from drug abusers. The evidence clearly suggests that Chow’s failed “harm reduction” program is a major contributing factor in Toronto’s decline.
