So is this akin to shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic?

Lets hope not!
Maybe he can get cracking and save the “Ocean” and get my "Gaspe " train running again appearantly they were still working on the two huge tressles at “Perce” and “Barachoix”
and the “Haldiamond” bridge over the "St. John " river and I think I heard they were rebuilding the "Gaspe " station after it burnt down a few years ago.
Sorry about the spelling…

After riding the Trains #2 to Toronto and #1 to Edmonton I have to say the level of on board service VIA provides trumps Amtrak. But I think VIA is missing out on some key corridor routes… Calgary to Edmonton anyone? Anyone?
