Ottawa Now - Analyzing Ottawa's ideal main hub for high-speed rail

February 3, 2026

The first segment would connect Ottawa and Montreal, with construction slated to begin in 2029. Led by Alto, this project is being labeled as one of Canada's most significant infrastructure investments in decades, so they have to get this right. Does the old Union Station make the most sense? We open the debate floor on today's Ottawa Now with David Jeanes, a retired Professional Engineer who is based in Ottawa. He also serves on the Board of Directors for Transport Action Canada.
