For immediate release.....October 6th, 2014. High Speed Rail Canada is Canada's only advocacy groups dedicated to promoting the modernization of passenger rail in Canada.

The May 30th, 2010 study by SNCF International was funded by cities along the Windsor - Quebec Corridor.

Like the previous federal/provncial study from 2011 on High Speed Rail by Ecotrains, the 2010 SNCF study was not being released to the public until High Speed Rail Canada obtained a copy of it and is releasing it today.

High Speed Rail Canada's mandate is to educate people on the benefits of modern passenger rail. They do it through their website http://www.highspeedrailcanada.com , Youtube channel, Facebook, Twitter @HSRCanada and public educational sessions.

Paul Langan, Founder of High Speed Rail Canada states," The mayors along the Windsor - Quebec City Corridor were optimistic in 2010 that the time had come for high speed rail to be implemented in Canada.

Tragically, Prime Minister Harper has not implemented the recommendations of the recent studies and has cut service and allowed Canada's passenger rail service to become one of those slowest in the modern world."

The conclusion of the study states:

1. The Québec-Windsor/Detroit high-speed rail project will have a very significant impact on the cities of Quebec, Laval, Montreal, Toronto, London, Windsor and Montreal Metropolitan Community by creating thousands of job opportunities, stimulating economic development, serving and encouraging tourism, and providing increased transportation capacity.

2.Travelers will save time, cost, and energy while traveling on a safer and less polluting mode.

3.The economical and financial analysis shows that the Quebec–Windsor HSR project will be profitable.

4.Includes future expansion of line to Kitchener and Detroit
