Air Canada has surprisingly joined a consortium aiming to build a high-frequency train between Quebec and Toronto. The airline, previously against publicly funded high-speed trains, now sees the project as beneficial for Canada. This shift in stance may be due to societal expectations and the potential impact on air travel demand. Experts suggest that Air Canada's involvement could be a strategy to influence and control the project rather than oppose it. The consortium includes various partners, and the project is seen as significant for transportation in the Quebec-Windsor corridor. Air Canada's change in position reflects evolving perspectives on sustainable mobility and transportation integration.
