Not sure those unfamiliar with the geography of Eastern Ontario appreciate how absurd it is Via forced passengers to sleep overnight at the station in Brockville
Brockville is only an hour and a half drive from Ottawa. Via couldn’t get buses to shuttle them back? How is there no contingency plan?

Trudeau bought a pipeline and still got 10 years of unending complaining from the oil & gas industry, their UCP lapdogs, and their shitty voters.
The whining never stops.
These people are incapable of being happy, so the most logical thing to do is ignore them, because the result will be the same.

In Finland, charging fees for school tuition is illegal, which means rich kids have to mix with normal kids.
That means rich families had to make sure the schools their children attended were good, which in turn prompted the wealthy to invest in public education.
Finland, take a bow.
