Here is a 40-minute video you may find helpful in understanding the status of the rail restoration project.
Why is Cape Breton having to wait?
Sustainability and good business go hand-in-hand
Cape Breton Post 11 Aug 2021

When we hear candidates or elected officials make cliched remarks such as they want assurance of a return for the investment, it’s a clue that they are not paying attention. They can’t possibly be aware of the federal government’s response to the Climate Change accord, with unprecedented funding for infrastructure which includes the short-line funding that supports a green economy and economic development.
Cape Breton rail issue requires action
The Scotia Rail Development Society (SRDS) is inviting the Liberal leadership candidates along with Conservative and NDP party leaders to take a position on the Cape Breton rail issue as it relates to:
- regional economic development
- public safety
- savings for taxpayers
- Cape Breton's concern for the environment.

I want to compliment Jim Guy on his excellent transportation column that recently appeared in the Cape Breton Post. It is right on.
I was born in Cape Breton and eventually had to leave in the search for work. Having retired a few years ago, I spend a lot of time here and, since the pandemic began, do not see returning to Ontario for many, many months (if at all).
