It is a reasonable obsession as these things go. It fundamentally changes the dynamic.
I don't get the backing up or lost infrastrucure at Union Station argument. I assume a $60 Billion bill includes a lot of tunnelling so it would be built underneath Line 1. If we want to scale back and have a sort of high speed route which is even reasonable for especially Montreal to Ottawa it can use existing infrastructure and be done for a fraction of the cost. The talk of Laval suggests an entirely new route.
