If anybody thinks that's extreme, than I will remind people of the Ontario Liberals Toronto-Kitchener-London HSR proposal that was said to not be a part of VIA. If something like this ever does come to pass, I would question why VIA is needed, at least in the Corridor. I would much prefer a rail service that is fully integrated in Ontario with GO and Exo in Quebec.

So, you would want Via to give up on it's cash cow? The only real way the Ontario government would take it on is if the federal government downloaded it to them. Now, HSR, if it were ever constructed would most likely be done between Montreal and Toronto to be able to receive federal funding. I don't see it being owned by the province. HSR for the C-E route would be a different story all together.
