Reader and fellow Waterloo-Wellington blogger Paul Langan writes to tell me about a public meeting being set up by a group of activists hoping to improve the transportation picture in southern Ontario. In his words:
High Speed Rail Canada has invited representatives from industry, government and the media for a one day symposium on high speed rail in Canada. The date is January 31st, 2009 in Kitchener Ontario.
“The time is right for high speed rail in Canada. The USA government is asking for proposals to build 11 high speed rail, Canada will be left far behind. Its time to reinvest heavily in high speed and higher speed rail in Canada” states Paul Langan, founder of High Speed Rail Canada.
The symposium will be held Saturday, January 31st, 2009 at the Region of Waterloo Council Chambers, 150 Frederick Street Kitchener from noon to 5pm. It is free to attend. Guest Speakers to be announced in early January.
High Speed Rail Canada is a national citizens advocacy group dedicated to the implementation of high speed rail in Canada.

I personally believe southern Ontario could use high speed rail, especially between Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal. More is being done to improve rail transit in the region and, for me, the changes can’t come soon enough. I’ll write more on my thoughts when I’m able.
