Yes, exactly. Focus on commuting sections first, then open it up further for leisure travel and freight.
Getting a passenger car or two onto the track compared to freight trains requires far less upgrading and is much easier/feasable at first.
While I agree we need to eventually do that, the cost of updating the track (and particularly the bridges) for the whole route is making it expensive. Just get the langford to downtown portion up and running to prove (like it needs proving) the concept. Once it is operational then it can be expanded upon in sections, go to Duncan, cowichan valley, etc and move up island. The priority should be alleviating the colwood crawl.
Y’all better not be driving any green (gayer) or yellow (gayest) vehicles either!
I never realized until now how easy it is to accidentally chop someone in half with a machete.

What if your fear is all three of those characters mooshed together in one sort of super fear monster? You just spilled the beans, friendo!
What is great is listening to bros who try to say they could “totally take on a bear”. It’s normal to be fearful of any animal that could easily fuck a person up.
Happens every time.
Honestly, I was naked after the shower and just fell on it!
You leave the poor meeses alone!
Who cares about the long term future when you get increased profits this quarter and next! Isn’t that what life is all about?!
I know a couple people who do this and their texts always seem far more dramatic and loaded than they mean.
"Hey, thanks for doing x” - me
" You’re welcome…" - them
Uh oh - me internally.
If only we wasted less money. Every item procured is late and costs more than anticipated.
Look at the new AOPs that Irving is fumbling though making. They’re delivered with massive deficiencies, can’t do half of what was on the contract, and somehow are out of warranty so Irving won’t pay for the repairs? Seems reasonable.
When is the last time you actually went on the e&n bike path? It’s parallel to the railway line, the tracks are still there. Additionally, Victoria has the highest proportion of commuting bike riders in the country thanks to our mild weather a decent bike infrastructure. Every one of those bikes on the path is a car not on the road.
