Just like you would think it silly if everybody in the east end (from Orleans to Rockland to Embrun) insisted on another airport to serve them, it's silly to insist on an HSR station to serve Barrhaven. Also, Fallowfield will still have regular VIA service. It just won't have Alto service.

There is a big difference between rail stations and airports offering national and international service and requiring enormous land areas. Rail stations require little space and offer limited relatively short distance destinations. If you want to capture the massive car market, you can't expect people to travel all the way across the city in the wrong direction then double back.
You advocate for Dorval, which will have a smaller market than Fallowfield. Dorval will mainly serve Ottawa residents flying internationally. I would like that convenience and I have said it but Fallowfield is still more important and will become even more important in the future.
