Maybe a later phase would include Kitchener in London?

1) It's bad enough that they had to extend it to Quebec City. That's why the sticker shock has moved up substantially. It would even worse if London was included in this phase.
2) Nothing can be done west of Union until Metrolinx sorts out the tracks for GO Expansion, electrification, and freight rail conflicts. When they are actually done all that in 2035, Phase 2 HSR planning can start.
