Premier in Calgary to announce "major passenger rail initiative for Alberta"
Here's hoping this is something good ... If she's announcing it here, you'd think it'd have something to do with Calgary.

Maybe all of Adam Waterous’ work is finally paying off?

His lobbying work, you mean?
I sure hope we don't put tax payer money to this, it's an absolute corporate handout, and their proposal is so full of holes they haven't accounted for that you could drive a train full of politicians through them and none would notice.
We are so getting ####ed on this. But then, Alberta.

Probably that they will start making the homeless pull the Ctrain cars. To save electricity or something.

If this is a train to Banff and not a train between Edmonton and Calgary it will literally do nothing for anyone save tourists and a small minority of Calgarians that don't want to drive to the mountains. How many are going to train to Banff then catch a bus to Sunshine or Lake Louise?

She already bought Calgary votes with the arena money, way too early to buy more

They’re gonna want to keep those ridings happy though, if they announce it now it will probably be done before the next election.

Watch it still not connect to the airport, be a pain in the arse to transfer, and end up being almost not worth it for tourists either

High speed rail between UCPs favourite cities, Red Deer, Medicine Hat and Lethbridge. 3 million future residents.

Banff is already done for. A train will make it even worse.
