The Mayor's motion attempts to build the case that Alto and this region would be well served if Kingston were added as a high speed train stop. Imagine that... He also said the same about major airlines at #YGK airport, a Cruise ship dock and an Imperative Downtown Conference Centre.

Return To Normal Hank figures a new causeway funded by the federal government is more important than a federal government funded high speed train swooping into town. Audrey suggests using the non functioning WI ferry as part of causeway to allow channel access. #ygk www.thewhig.com/news/lasalle...

Return To Normal Hank wonders if local civic leaders demanding a high speed train swooshing to a screeching stop in the City have considered an elevated monorail above the existing tracks. Audrey and Boyd agree- if we're imagining the future, go big on the taxpayer's dime... #ygk

“I would envision a future where, depending on who you are and what your travel needs are, that having a choice between conventional rail and high-speed rail would make perfect sense.” -Mayor96 ❤️Kingston. Where, Depending On Who You Are, You Thrive #ygk www.thewhig.com/news/expand-...

It came to pass, Alto would be Just Another Regular Speed Train because EVERY municipality between here and there felt they were just as important as Kingston to be included as a stop. Maybe the City could re-route Air Canada #YGK airport buses to catch the train www.kingstonist.com/news/putting...

Return To Normal Hank walks into the Rogue City Diner and asks "Does anyone really know what time it is?" Audrey, Boyd, Hortencia, Beulah and Cletus proclaim "It's later than you think," as hilarity and the pursuit of local happiness ensues... thebulletin.org/2026/01/pres...
