Canada is finally getting a high speed rail line

The Big Story

About this episode

Canada is the only G-7 nation without a high speed rail line, but that might be about to change.

Our federal government has unveiled plans for an ambitious project, which would link Toronto and Quebec City.

But will it happen?

Host Kris McCusker speaks to Lavagnon Ika, Professor of Project Management at the Telfer School of Management at the University of Ottawa, about the potential challenges and the likelihood the project gets done.
