As the federal government prepares to announce Canada's first high-speed rail line connecting Toronto to Quebec City, it remains to be seen whether the service will be extended westward into southwestern Ontario.

Such a link could cut travel between Toronto and Montreal by 2½ hours, project proponents hope. It's a change from the high-frequency rail that was previously planned. Missing from the conversation, however, are municipalities along the westernmost stretch of the Quebec City–Windsor corridor, including London, one of Canada's fastest-growing cities. Expanding high-speed service into the region is possible, but requires a change in political and public will first, said Clarence Woudsma, a University of Waterloo professor specializing in transportation policy.
