Re: radials

There were issues getting other jurisdictions' approvals (ahem, Waterloo). But at the end of the day, I believe the Ontario government essentially said, "we never actually said you can do this, and besides, we're preoccupied with the war, so let's put this on hold."

Ironically, this article appeared two days ago, with an original headline of "High speed rail in Waterloo Region? London MP says it's being discussed" (http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/windsor/ontario-government-wants-high-speed-rail-proposal-by-october-mp-says-1.3440700)

High speed rail is kind of our Holy Grail.
