I dont give a fuck where the trains or their parts come from at this point tbh we just need to build rails and put trains on them. It would be nice if we could domestically supply them but we can also more easily build and invest in that in the future if we have more rail routes being made today.
I'm not as pissed off at the lowering of Canadian content rn ... but Druggie lying about makes me angry.
I fucking hate that politicians get away with shit like this all the time.
I read about Wales trying to pass a Truth Law on MPs not too long ago and wonder if we should push for the same. https://www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/welsh-politicians-lying-vote-1.7192025
While looking for that article, I came across this: https://politicalhonesty.ca/ and https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-6679
Something's being done!
We should be starting domestic manufacturing that just does x amount of rail each year. Fully funded, doesn't matter where, just pick a place and go.
