PODCAST: The Daily Review for Fri. October 2nd, 2026

A proposed high-speed rail line between Quebec City and Toronto could cost billions more than the federal government’s original estimate. That’s according to a new report from Canada’s Parliamentary Budget Officer. The PBO’s report estimates that the project will cost between $75 billion to $113 billion, compared with the government’s prior estimate of $60 billion to $90 billion. Among the largest cost drivers is a proposed 15-kilometre tunnel into Montreal. And factoring that tunnel between Montreal and Laval, the PBO’s calculation includes 7 stops. However, Kingston is not one of them, and they are currently under consideration by Alto. If they are added to the list of stops, that’s another 50 kilometres to the track, and that would drive up costs significantly. Kristy Cameron checks in with Conservative Transport Critic Dan Albas, the MP for Okanagan Lake West – South Kelowna. With the financial need for other services so paramount than ever – ranging from Canada’s military to our healthcare system – Albas says this project shouldn’t be so high on Canada's to-do list.

Ottawa Now - PBO report says Alto price tag could cost billions more than the feds' original estimate

If you’ve been waiting forever to ride the train to Orleans, you’ll sadly have to keep waiting. The signs to Trim Station may be up, but it’s looking highly unlikely that the train will run all the way there by the end of 2026. And then, we got today’s update from the City of Ottawa. Once again, the unopened LRT East Extension is facing a notable delay – with software issues serving as the latest culprit. The City of Ottawa says the pre-trial running period, originally scheduled for sometime this month, cannot take place until November. Hitachi, the subcontractor that handles this, says it has to update its software before the system can proceed further – work that requires ‘re-programming’. River Ward councillor Riley Brockington, who works on Ottawa’s Transit Committee, has already been acclaimed for the next term of council. Based on the info he has, the odds of the East Extension being opened before January are ‘low’. He joins Kristy Cameron on Ottawa Now.
