@FinPlanKaluAja1 Let's start by the road safety commission impounding this trucks on sight, they should be restricted to 11pm to 5am movement, fix the railways and move goods via rail. Paying a special attention to this containers and thier movement by a serious government will curb this...

@Voyageurfred @ianhanomansing @VIA_Rail Via trains spend a lot of time stopped as freight trains have priority due to this issue. It is backwards to what should happen. I doubt any train I've been on in Ontario got anywhere close to 150, rail lines are incredibly rough. A new rail system is needed.

Good lord, so the VIA Rail management didn't look after their p***engers and waited for the government to contact them? Oh, I see, so they did eventually take care of the p***engers but didn't report the problem until the Minister contacted them? Is that correct?

@VIA_Rail There are several apparent downsides, too:
— required to pay taxes on redemptions (however, this may be a temporary software-related issue and redemptions will be reduced by 30% as compensation)
— redemptions will adhere to the refund policy of the ticket booked
