High Speed Rail Canada - TGV - Train à grande vitesse au Canada

  High Speed Rail Canada has updated their links pages that  features high speed rail manufacturers and countries around the world with high speed rail. It includes Canada's four proposed high speed rail routes. The page also has links to companies that sell high speed rail tickets around the world for those who want to travel to other countries to ride high speed trains (TGV). Paul Langan, founder High Speed Rail Canada states, " I wish all Canadians had a chance to visit countries where high speed trains run so they can see what a modern passenger system in Canada could look like. This links page will take you to sites around the world to see high speed trains in operation". Visit: https://www.highspeedrailcanada.com/p/links.html

Fantastic news out of Alberta! The companies EllisDon and AECOM are proposing a high speed rail line between Calgary, Red Deer and Edmonton. Here is their press release. We will be watching this closely. Edmonton, AB, July 8, 2021 — EllisDon, a world-leading construction services and infrastructure development company, announced today that they have formed a partnership to advance the development of high-speed rail connecting Edmonton, Red Deer, and Calgary in Alberta, Canada. EllisDon and its team took the initiative to propose the project within the Government of Alberta’s Unsolicited Proposal Guidelines and Framework. "The notion of high-speed rail — a proven technology around the world — connecting Edmonton, Red Deer, and Calgary in Alberta is not new, but we believe that its time has come. We have built a team with both the capacity and faith in the future of our province to advance it in a meaningful way for Albertans," said Jeffrey Hansen-Carlson, Director with EllisDo

 Feel free share this poster with all high-speed rail supporters in Canada.  Canada's high-speed rail TGV corridors are: Toronto-Montreal, Edmonton-Calgary, Vancouver-Seattle.

La construction, dans le corridor Québec-Windsor, d’une voie réservée à un train à grande vitesse (TGV) devrait être prioritaire.  Le train est plus écologique que l’auto, le bus et l’avion (ce dernier émet de 30 à 50 fois plus de CO 2 ). Coïncidence, l’Union européenne a déclaré 2021 « Année européenne du rail », demandant à ses pays membres de consacrer 70 % des financements en transport au train plutôt qu’à l’avion ou à l’automobile. Face aux enjeux des changements climatiques, « la mobilité est la composante du voyage qui impacte le plus sur l’empreinte carbone… et le train l’emporte toujours

  The Young Liberal wing of Liberal Party Canada  #highspeedrail  policy was approved at the Liberal Policy Convention and was prioritized as number 4 out of 26. GREAT NEWS! Let us hope the Prime Minister does not confuse  #TGV   #highspeed  rail with VIA Rail flawed, slow trains, high frequency rail proposal. Here is LINK to convention policies that were approved.

 Canada is now a half-century behind the rest of the world in fast efficient passenger rail service. Do not be fooled by terms like "High Frequency Rail" . These trains travel at low speeds. Canada needs TGV (train à grande vitesse). Real high speed trains (TGV) that travel on their own dedicated corridor at speeds over 250km/hr. http://highspeedrailcanada.com  Photo credit - Michael Goll
