💨 Abstract

Prime Minister Mark Carney is defending the high-speed rail project connecting Toronto and Quebec City amid growing opposition, particularly from communities facing land expropriation. Carney assures that only about 10 meters of land will be needed per route and that compensation will be provided. He highlights the project's potential to create jobs and boost the economy. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and rural residents in Ontario and Quebec have criticized the project.
